RE: [twitter-dev] Re: Mass account creation
Of course, if I disable the new follower notices then the spammers have won... I guess I could use the API to create a summary report of the day's new followers, hey... I like the notices. I don't read them all, but when I do their followers/following numbers often give them away. There's good stuff too. People you know, etc, and I just checked and here's another one of these: 0 followers 0 tweets following 1 person Anyway, I no longer look at follower lists - even my own - because of all the junk.

It does not make an ounce of difference if an entire army of spam bots or follower churners follow your account. They can't DM you if you don't follow back. They can @reply you whether they follow you or not. In fact, if you are stuck at a magical following limit, then those followers can enable you to follow more accounts. The only small irritation is the new follower email notification that Twitter sends out. Just disable those notifications, and you will never even know that you are followed by spammers, scammers, and churners.

RE: [twitter-dev] Re: Mass account creation
+1, Ed. Nice post. The humans will win! Whether every RSS feed, weather station, search query, refrigerator, etc is allowed to be turned into a twitter bot is a policy decision for Twitter. I like to think that Twitter would prefer to be an original source of unique and meaningful content and not just a dump for low grade data. First of all, there is only one form of spam - it's *unsolicited* messages sent massively.

Second of all, tell me, please, in what way creating, let's say, 100 accounts just for tweeting weather forecasts for different cities is a spam? I'm not talking about mentioning there random nicknames or something like that to get new followers, of course. Just pure forecast, without any links. Third of all, why do you think those RSS feeds will be useless? Maybe it's more convenient for some users to get updates with Twitter than with Google Reader. I don't see how creating, let's say, 100 accounts just for tweeting weather forecasts for different cities fits in with the Twitter spirit, which is humans talking to other humans over the messaging system. For example, here in Portland, we have a hashtag, #pdxtst (PDX Twitter Storm Team) where we talk about the sometimes unusual weather in this normally boring rainy place. It's people talking about the weather. We had an unexpected snowstorm a few weeks back, and Mayor Sam Adams got on Twitter and gave traffic and Tri-Met updates. I doubt very seriously if the folks in the #pdxtst chat would have appreciated some bot spewing the National Weather Service warnings or the stuff coming from the TV weather crews. Those crews were, in fact, on Twitter conversing with people! Fortunately, this all happened before the texting while driving ban went into effect. Maybe what you propose is simply annoying and not spam, but don't be too terribly surprised if you build it and see people blocking you, rather than simply not following. I unfollow bots often and block when something gets annoying enough. But Twitter isn't intended to be an aggregator!

RE: [twitter-dev] @ Message read rate for non-followers
Further to this, I think Abir has raised a subject that gets little attention on this list, user behaviour. It is relevant as we must take it into account as we design our apps. My initial response to the OP was of course facetious. If a message arrives in my timeline I will read it, which is why spam must be dealt with mercilessly by Twitter. As another poster pointed out recently, keyword based fake @replies are a violation of Twitter TOS. As with email spam, this should apply equally to automated and manually composed messages. But it would be interesting to know more about the behaviour of different types of Twitter users and for this one would first need to establish a typology of users. I suggest two broad categories, readers and writers, and maybe a third category that would include those engaged in massive mutual following. Users who follow thousands of accounts can't possibly be reading much of their streams, and may not be writing much either. As a writer I tend to regard members of this group (those that are human) as disoriented, and focus my attention on followers who are following reasonable numbers of accounts. As for the effectiveness of 'targeting' users by keywords, I've seen a clever implementation lately whereby I was followed by an fully automated (or possibly, 'curated') account that was just amassing followers based on keyword. Checking out their website one finds thousands of similar keyword-based accounts, a big system. Evidently the intention is that you should follow them and click on a link or whatever. It was almost credible, I'll hand them that, but could not withstand any real scrutiny. Still, plenty of high quality accounts had followed them back.. What can you all say about user behaviour that you have observed?

RE: [twitter-dev] Twitter Developer QA on Stack Overflow
It seems like creating a stackexchange would just split the support power. +1, totally. One issue I've noticed with Stackoverflow is it is harder for new developers to participate where as the barrier for entry on Google Groups is just having an email address. Some email groups can be very tough on newbies and this can change (ie, get worse) over time as there are no posted rules/policy. In my view, stack exchange is well conceived to avoid the trap of a harsh expert user playing the troll and shutting out new users. There is also a place for rules, and if desired a meta-QA for discussion of the discussion. I agree though that it should be up to Twitter to provide this environment.
