New use for twitter:

(well new to me anyways..... )

Instant movie buzz.

Bruno bites, Beth Cooper seems to appeal to woman more than men etc...

*Grrrrrrr*

OK, I give up. I've been trying to keep my profile open assuming that only people that somehow know me would care to follow me.

Obviously that is not the case. Pretty much daily I'm forced to block yet another twit on twitter. I actually spent some time trying to figure out how they were finding me. After all, I'm not what you would call a high profile twitter user.

My first thought was that they were just grabbing all the names from one or more of the high profile people I was following. That is obviously part of it. After following a couple of professional poker players (the World Series of Poker is happening now) I was followed by a number of poker/gaming/gambling related twits. However others seem to come literally out of the blue. Looking at who they were following/followed by showed no clear connection. Then last night I sent a tweet that mentioned "Super Soakers". This morning I find two new followers who, shocker, sell super soakers online. Wow.

It makes me wonder what would happen it I sent a tweet with the word 'Viagra' in it.......

Anyway I'm tired of the constant fight to ban these twits. So I'm going to change my profile to locked. I'm not sure that effect that will have on anyone that is already following me.

Viagra Update:

Ok, so I sent a Twit with the word "Viaga" in it at 10:00am.

10:01 - First new follower.

I've been looking at the trending topics lately and it's kind of neat to know what's going on in the world at that moment. I had no idea the men's final at Wimbledon was happening, but after I saw the trend I decided to watch it that day. When authorize.com went down I found out what that was. It's interesting what stuff other people are into that I didn't know existed.

11:00 - Still just the one new follower. I'm kinda disappointed.....

Twitter is great for finding out about travel deals before they hit elsewhere. Typically you get first crack. JetBlue has a new ID JetBlueCheeps just for super cheap fares, some as low as $9 oneway.

I (blocked profile) had 2 follow requests after my friend (unblocked profile) mentioned wine and Trader Joes as an @ reply.

Morrigoon · 07-14-2009, 09:53 PM

Yeah, as a blocked profile I still get 1-2 follower requests per week. Usually t!tty girls (I assume... I refuse to click on their profiles, but their avatars usually involve cleavage)

Cadaverous Pallor · 07-15-2009, 07:30 AM

Funny, I don't get many spam ollower requests. It's been months since my last. Perhaps because I don't tweet about brand names or something?

Aren't your tweets private?
