So like the above have said, its not spamming, its sharing. We follow and friend for a reason, if that reason is lost, there is always the unfollow/remove friend option.

I touched on the problem of posting too many links in a post titled “Sorry, I Just Puked All Over My Twitter” and it touched on the concept of “Link Vomit”, a clever yet slightly disgusting word for this problem.

However, most of us just post links to whatever content because we enjoyed it and found it valuable or interesting in some way. That’s the heart of Social Media: Sharing valuable content with people of relevant interest. It’s not the main or only piece of the pie but without it, you’d see activity go down tremendously.

Creating Twitter lists on Twitter could actually help you to rid your stream of the “nasty spam”. Just create lists of “friends” or of those you tweet with often, you can even make a list for those in your area, or for those who share interesting information. These are just a few suggestions for you, this way, you can click on that list and see exactly who you want to see instead of waiting for them to come up in your stream. This can also help you weed out any tweople that you don’t interact with or the so-called spammers. If all else fails, just try following other peoples list that are of interest to you. I hope this helped you Otto and thanks for the comment!

I find it annoying when someone comes back with a second Twitt five seconds after the first one. So I’m trying not to do the same thing. I’m new to Twitter but have found it immensely useful already. So for now I’ll control the rate at which my lists grow till I research further. Thanks for your post!
