The types of Twitter spam, or Twam as it's called, can range from simple advertisements from brands, too good to be true business opportunities, and plain old malware. Whether they are sent as a reply to a tweet, via direct message or just from a standard Twitter account, they all are highly annoying.
If there's one thing to remember on the Internet, if it seems too fabulous to be true, it likely is. Those porn spammers who want you to look at their photos are really not interested in you. Those miraculous weight loss or male enhancement claims, they will take your money but they won't deliver. Oh and if you want more followers, those claims to add thousands in minutes, they're spam too.
From your favorite celebrity on Twitter posting sponsored ads to malicious direct messages claiming that you're in this crazy video on Facebook before asking you to download malware or those pesky users who follow you with hopes you'll follow back and read their spam tweets, Twitter rarely has a shortage of spam.
The good news is that they also actively fight spammers. Between policy changes, follow limits and ease of reporting Twitter spam, Twitter works hard to reduce these annoyances and improve the Twitter experience. Now if someone could do the same for the most common types of email spam, the Internet would be such a more enjoyable place!
