Do You Block Other Twitter Users?
in Daily, Personal, Sites, Thought, WWW / tags: twitter
My short answer is: Yes. Sometimes, I do block some Twitter users (followers). The main reason is pretty simple. I think they’re spammy users. For example, here are their ‘condition’:
- I could not even see his/her profile. No URL, no short bio.
- He/she follows too-many users, but only have little followers.
- He/she only promote what he/she’s doing. Okey, I am not talking about @cnnbrk — it’s a different story.
So, I blocked them. In Twitter, blocking a person means:
- You will no longer show up in the blocked person’s list of friends.
- Your updates won’t show up on the blocked person’s profile page.
- The blocked person will not be able to add you as a friend.
- You can unblock people. You’ll have to add them as a friend after unblocking, though.
I’m fine with that. I’m just curious, are you also blocking other users?

Kadang Twitter memang diramaikan oleh spammer.

ya, dan ironisnya aku tahu siapa yang ku blok, temen. Dia nyepam sih walau mungkin dia gak tahu. Dia masukin status YM , IM , atau apalah ke dalam tweet nya, jadi setiap beberapa menit selalu muncul tweet dengan isi yang sama, menuhin punyaku ( dan beberapa orang lain tentunya ).
Sudah diperingatkan gak ada respon , ya di blok. beres perkara
