**sigh** Dewald, on a technicality, you're completely right. We did opt in. It was originally a convenience to opt int, so you knew you were being followed. However since the count of bots has increased, it's now an inconvenience to constantly get follow emails\texts from bots. Perhaps they could rename it, now, to "Check box to increase twitter to inbox\phone traffic"
Maybe one of us could add to one of our Apps the ability to notify *after*having gone through a screening processes of some sort to see if the account resembles a bot :) Of course it wont' be perfect because at the beginning of the twitterbot life, they look like a normal user lol On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 12:50 PM, Dewald Pretorius <dpr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Adam, > > It may be an irritation and it may cost you money, but it is NOT spam. > > You opted in to receive the notifications on your phone, and hence it > is NOT spam. > > Dewald > > On Aug 12, 3:46 pm, Adam Cloud <cloudy...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It can be spam if you had your account sent to auto-notify your phone or > > inbox when someone follows you. 1 spam follower won't make a dent, but if > > one spam follower is allowed to 'live' more will follow, and thats when > it > > gets fun. >
