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.
