Twam!

So I’ve been on Twitter for a while, and I was telling a friend lately that there’s always this exciting grace period with a new communications service where no one has yet figured out how to spam it.

Now I’m spotting Twitter spam, where someone signs up to follow you on your twitter feed. Being a curious type, you click on the email to see who just added you, and you get a profile with no tweets and a link in the person’s profile to the service they’re selling.

I’ve thought about this for a while, and I’ve decided to call this Twamming. Or Twam.

Twitter spam.
