I can imagine how to code it, therefore it is spam. ;-) But seriously, I haven't seen anything like this yet, but I'm sure, given how visible I am in Twitter, I'm sure I will.
I did have one borderline case the other day. I sent out a tweet in LOLCAT-speak, and some bot latched on to it, created a URL in its service and sent me an @ reply telling me the URL was available and to go visit that URL. When I got there, it offered to build a redirect for it to any URL I wanted. Seems cute, but not sure I trust it. Just type "I CAN HAZ MATZOHBALLS" and this thing will respond. ;-) On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 8:42 PM, Michael Paladino <[email protected] > wrote: > We had what looks like a similar situation.
