I doubt I’m the first to see this, but I certainly won’t be the last - a spammer just started following me on the popular micro-blogging service, Twitter.  With a name of diecastmodelcar, I immediately thought this was the case,  and clicking on the account’s link confirmed my suspicion:

A Twitter spammer.  The language used certainly conforms to the unwritten guidelines that all email spammers tend to adhere to:  Very poor grammar, repetition, excessive nonsense, and lots of links to buy stuff.

My remedy is to block this cat, but I hope this doesn’t become a common occurrence.  To my friends working at Twitter, you better get ahead of this issue before it blows up and destroys your service.
