Blocky (@blocky_bot, http://blocky.elliottkember.com) is a crowdsourcing
solution for Twitter spam. Blocky does not define what a "spammer" is,
so let's discuss.
What makes you a Twitter spammer?
- You follow me just to make me follow you.
There's a good chance this applies when you start following me even though
you already are following 500+ people.
- You repeatedly tweet links to your own website(s)/service(s)/... whilst
rarely tweeting anything personal.
Of course a sane ratio will be highly subjective. To me maybe tweeting your
ads more often than 1% makes you a spammer.
- You're on Twitter for the sole reason that someone told you there's "social
marketing".
This definitely applies to anyone who "outsources" tweeting to someone
else/a service (looking at politicians). It probably also applies to SEO
people and other folks wanting to artificially raise attention or traffic.
