Twitter spam is... odd.

Okay, so anyone who's ever signed up for any kind of social networking website knows that any kind of level of spam is possible. As far as Facebook and Myspace go, it's usually fake profiles of unusually similar hot girls who are a little too willing to show themselves to you. Or, comments/chat/messages telling you that they've seen you in this weird photo, and give you a link to go check it out.

But, as far as Twitter is concerned, spamming can be hard. & when it's achieved, is really actually somewhat odd & creepy.

For example!

Actual Twitter Friend




Creepy Twitter Spammer



It took me a few minutes to realize which one of my actual friends had at some point said this to me. Then I texted her, asking if she may or may not have a fake Twitter account (which is apparently popular these days. BEWARE OF CYBERBULLIES!). Which, of course, she didn't.

This ultimately led me to the conclusion that this was spam. Though very odd, unproductive, senseless, & quite a bit creepy.
