Great post! -Thanks

I believe that this shows Twitter maturing as a medium and these sort of changes indicate that it will be here to stay. So I welcome all of the changes... They sound pretty straight-forward to me.
Cheers,
Chris

It's not really annoyance, because for me it is manageable, but the young lovely avatars that appear to be representing "special services" and the spammers are the two types I can really do without.

Great article. I had read something abou this before but not in such detail. Not guilty of any of the above but I have sure seen it. Good to know that Twitter is paying attention to the long term.

Can we add one more to the list...the twitterers that send you a message with a link and they are not following you. They are just selling their junk. That drives me CRAZY!

Here is my question - If you own 30 domains and on godaddy the have the link that reads, reserve your twitter account - so you do and get suspended... I am human, trying to develop a business that needs separate domains I have bought - I cannot get them un-suspended and feel my rights have been violated too.

I like this a lot, and try not to do any of these, with the exception of hash tags, I thought that was part of twitter - woah nelly!

It would without doubt be the hashtag spammers. And the ones that keeps following me and directly after un-follow. It fills my inbox with notifications! And they are never any interesting :( so much spam on twitter in general... meh

Wow!!! This article rocks and sheds light on a myriad of questionable conduct. Thanks so much -- for this info. We'll link to this article for our readers. Also, remember to tell your audience to beware of who they tweet. Certain illicit people troll social media sites to commandeer personal information for the purposes of ID theft.

Good post which is usefull for TRUE twitters like me.

I have been into tweeting recently , but I enjoy & excite using it.

But I have a request to Twitter , will there be an option for a member to have 2 twitter names assigned to single a/c ?
Because I'm an internet entrepreuner , I develop sites & I want to make sure no one else uses my sitename as their twitter a/c name , so how do I go abt this?

What bugs me are people who look for followers and then when you do follow them they later remove you from their list so that they show having tons of followers but they don't actually follow my posts in return.

Thanks for this post =) It's great to know that you might be in jeapordy when you don't follow the rules... Although many Twitter guides right now will tell you the opposite (to actually go and "follow/unfollow" a lot, etc to build a Twitter list fast.

My peeve pet might be a #2-#6 combo, I'm not sure if it's a bot or not -- but I'm really sick of marketers who tweet a bunch of names (like a #FF, but with little or no redeeming content) for the sole purpose of pitching a product. Guess what, spammers? I WON'T buy your product or even acknowledge the mention. Go 'way.

I think there are two things you may be overlooking here...

1) Is that Twitter is a dialogue, not a monologue, so you've got to engage your followers, not just pump out information. Only a person, not a robot, can do that.

2) I have been on Twitter almost a year, and have 16,000+ followers. The reality is that you can't catch every tweet. I reply to all my @ messages and all my DMs, and for my first 10 months every follower got a personalized "thank you for following me" message from me. I don't use bots, except for very few things (such as my weekday PR tips that are tweeted twice daily) that are scheduled through HootSuite to ensure they go out at their set times.

Twitter is work, as is business, as is life, as are all meaningful relationships. You get out what you put in. Yes it's time consuming to tweet interesting and relevant content, but don't you need to know that content yourself anyway? If you're not learning it so you can tweet it, where's your value to your followers? If you're a bot churning out tweets with info you've not digested, why should they listen?

The good and the bad news are one in the same: to be a success on Twitter you have to be real.

Like much of the internet, Twitter is rife with sexual sites. Why are private sites on Twitter allowed to talk about homosexual bfs in terms of "baby" etc? Such terms are obviously private and have no place on a social internet site open and widely used by underaged youth. Some of the Avatars are obviously sexual, both homo as well as hetro, some even showing oral and anal genital sex (although I do notice that the gay sites seem to predominate, xxxgayporn, TGZ, to name a few). Why are these things not culled out? Ans: They produce money.

This is a great set of guidelines. I got a direct tweet from one guy that sent me to some socialmoo or something like that site where i can sign up for a monthly fee to learn how to send these annoying auto responder Twitters. I would love to see none of that. While I admit to want to have people follow me and maybe use my services I would never think of tricking them to do so. Please keep up the good work

What about the spammers who look legit at first, posting conversational talk such as "Wow" "Really?" and "OMG" but occasionally post a spam link and/or have a spam link in their web or bio line? Here's an example: http://twitter.com/3ge3ge

How is Twitter going to be able to detect plagiarism-- given the character limit, added commentary to a RT, someone stumbling upon a tweet one day from the secondary sharer, not the first. Innocence could be assumed guilty, and then we have another orange suit on our hands who didn't deserve to be barred from the system.
