From the man who wrote Look For Tweeters Of Your City, TwitterLocal now there is coming Are You In Twitter’s Blacklist?
Well after this presentation let’s get to the point. We have another service that is born around Twitter without being part of that social network, The Twitter’s Blacklist. It is a publicly available list of spammers and works around the concept “Follow Factor.” The idea is based in the ratio of persons you are following and those who are your followers. A high ratio indicates that you are adding users indiscriminately in order to get some followers.
Twitter staff is aware of this tactic and it is penalized to make such practices, so it is no longer possible to this user to get more followers. It is somekind of spam. I think it’s right to stop this behavoiur. I believe that many of these users do it for profit and probably they want to sell their account as it happened in the past.
And you, my dear reader? Are you in the BlackList?
