I don't know if anyone else besides me and one of my Dutch brethren get annoyed by this, but you might have noticed a lot of twitter spam for DotNetNuke (DNN) topics lately (every day for the past month or more) from a certain company out of New Zealand (I won't even bother to mention their name as I don't want to promote them).
If you are sick of seeing all their spam (they post the SAME links to blog posts over and over each day, they have an automated script that does this, I've seen them talk about it in their tweets) then I would recommend doing the following. If you are a twitter user do the following.
- Follow @spam on twitter, http://twitter.com/spam it's the spam account that twitter runs.
- Send a Direct Message to the @spam account with the name of the account that is spamming, ex: "D spam OFFENDINGACCOUNTNAME"
- Get your friends to do the same.
Hopefully the company will come across this post and realize how annoying they are actually being to those of us in the DotNetNuke community who try to follow and respond to DNN related tweets. All their crap coming across on twitter makes it hard for those of us who try to provide a useful service for people struggling with DNN.
Perhaps they will clean up their act, I doubt it though as I've tried to send them messages in the past on twitter without receiving any response.
