Spammers etc.
→: Spammers etc.I got another irrelevant @ message. The content of this one was a link to … you knew where I was going with that. I don’t need to say it! Check out the graph for the originator – @BaileyWolfeaem: Again, lots of one way links to “normal” Twitter uses (who have reciprocal conversations). the graph…

@ Message Spam
→: @ Message SpamI used Twitter’s new “Report as Spam” feature today for the first time, after I got a bizarre @ message from @billy_Napper_ (Following 0, 0 Followers) about the top 10 hosting sites.

What Constitutes Spam on Twitter?
→: What Constitutes Spam on Twitter?I don’t know if this is particularly harsh, but I consider anyone who regularly promotes the same website without declaring an affiliation to be a spammer. Sometimes a well-disguised spammer, kudos to that, but a spammer nevertheless. Note – this doesn’t include people promoting their blog on Twitter. I tweet posts from my blog that…

Twitter Graphs
→: Twitter GraphsUPDATE 9/10: Insight into how this works and the rationale behind this in this post. So after my last post I received a couple of graph requests. Here’s @map_maker‘s, see how I’ve added the directionality. This one took a long time to build. She talks to a lot of people who talk to a lot…

Visualizing Your Twitter Network
→: Visualizing Your Twitter NetworkThis is what I’ve been working on lately – it graphs who you’re having a conversation with on Twitter (and who they’re having a conversation with). I’ve got some more stuff to add to it, but I’m pretty happy with how little time this has taken (coding time, perhaps 10 hours?). There were 3 phases…
