If you have an email account sent notices to your IMs when you have email, those notices are not Spam, but the content of the message may be. Twitter's just the protocol. The "you have a follower" message is not Spam, but the act of following itself may be if the intent is to use Twitter's delivery methods to deliver unwelcome content. If a user opts-out of receiving follower notices because of the content of the followers' profiles then Spam has damaged the network infrastructure on which Twitter is based. Chris Babcock
