CheapViagra DotCom has added you to her circles.

  So Google suddenly can't handle some spam filtering? If I go log into my gmail account right now, am I going to find all the spam dumped in my inbox? And has the webspam team resigned en masse? Where did this sudden bout of incompetence come from, exactly?

    People tend to think Google is just its frontend. They see pictures of people and some blog-like comments and say, "I could have written that over the weekend!" Then, since they don't know how to solve the spam problem, they think that Google doesn't know how to solve the spam problem either. As it turns out, Google does have some spam-fighting ideas. Some things slip through the cracks, of course, but the algorithms are always getting better.

  If Cheap Viagra wants to follow me then that's up to them. I don't have to follow them back, after all.

    It's more about those messages being used as the spam in themselves.

  "CheapViagra DotCom has added you to her circles" ...if you suspect this is a spam account, click here to ban them from following you and report them to Google. Well that's how it works on Twitter anyway, and seems fairly effective.
