If you do not know how to do that, you obviously never looked. http://twitter.com/account/notifications May I ask what you do on the _developper_ list if you do not even know this much? > btw I am in no way saying that I do agree with Mass DM or anything. >> It is just that you do blame the wrong part of the equation for it. >> > > It certainly sounds like you do.

As a matter of fact, as the author of the German twitter book it specifically states that you are stupid to use such DM and the best way to loose your followers, get banned by twitter, and pointed out by people in other systems like blogs. also it is one of the things every single customer of mine gets to hear from me if they want or not (in the greater scheme of how to do intelligent social media). Every single time I do collect twitter users (like for example for the lists I do host about twitter users from certain areas in Germany) I do ask specifically for an email address which is then processed by double opt in, clearly marked as "do you understand that if you click 'inform me about updates you will receive such notice". Of course there will always eb people who then complain about getting such information like yourself, but for people like you there is the "this is where you unsubscribe from the information you actually requested".
