Using Twitter To Stop Spammers

I started a hastag (#) – actually rediscovered – to help fight against Twitter spam:  #unfollow. It’s a good way to use Twitter’s own basic tools to fight back against spammers.  Use #unfollow to share with others and cut back on Twitterspam. (And, then of course follow up by blocking them from your account.)

Like for instance, this guy: wayne10005. He tweets today: “Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.” – Samuel Johnson–>  And link provided has nothing to do with quote (not going to provide site for obvious reasons).  So today, I #unfollow and block.
