Twitter has announced that they are taking a hard line on companies that offer paid followers to help seed your follower group. Twitter deems this spam and is eager to do everything possible to eliminate spam before it starts. I hope there next step is to crack down on the adult-oriented followers that are popping up and offering links to adult-content sites. Very annoying.

Jump to PostThe more popular Twitter became the more spam will follow. 2009 has been a banner year for Twitter in which the company has seen both its user base and press coverage surge.
Jump to PostSimilar issue occurred with Myspace. I am glad that Twitter is cutting it in the bud sooner than later and not encounter the same (almost) demise as Myspace.

Spammers inevitably show up as soon as something becomes popular enough that they think they can make a quick buck out of it, and they don't care what gets trashed in the process.
