Things have gotten much worse on this. Years ago, I never got spam @ replies on Twitter. Now just about anything I say triggers some shit about a free iPad or ebook being messaged to me. I guess the target has gotten large enough that the spammers have really gotten onboard heavily. I wasn't in the very first batch of people using Twitter (sxsw 2006), but I was on there shortly after any now I barely care about it anymore. Its an annoyance. A tool. Worse than email with few real benefits. At this point its just back to texting the 100 or so people who I really want to stay in touch with instead of tweeting at them like I was doing for a few years.
