What is the defnition of "spam" anyway... One word sums it up: "unwanted"...
Now, there are those that don't want any unsolicited information. Then quit Twitter now... That's the very nature of Twitter.
The difference between Twitterers that are "open" to new ideas and have subscribed to those contributers (i.e., by following), and those who don't want to get slammed by clearly solicitous posts is simple... Those that post those car-salesman-like infolinks... "get thinner this morning!"... "eat healthy, have sex hourly"... are pretty much scum... but they work with metrics. Twitter is free, and they can get some very small percentage of takers, so it's worth it to them.
Here's where your power comes in: "STOP FOLLOWING"...
That's it. If you see a post that fits this profile, click on its username and then click that excellent button...
That's it!
Okay, but here's my take on them. Don't look for them now, look for (and "Stop Following") later, after you notice their irritating posts.
It is much more efficient to grow your followers to simply follow the many, and then go back and weed out the few...
