Ha! As Rob just pointed out on my blog, that means Rick Rolling is now considered spam.
Thanks for pointing this out, Nick. Good info to know about.
3. Sending large numbers of @reply messages that are not genuine repliesActually a Twitter by Scottclark just got me thinking. This guideline would also seem to stop keyword marketing on Twitter? i.e. you use search.twitter.com or http://tweetbeep.com/ to find out when a mention of your company or keyword comes up and then @reply the user. Quite a few people starting to do this on Twitter now, i.e. you mention something about Quickbooks and another accountancy firm asks if you have tried their product. Or as Scott points out, there are now Indian outsourcers jumping on mentions of programming languages. At the other end, you have companies replying ORM style to mentions of their name. If you comment about Firefox you can expect a response from their support team. This adds a new dimension to the earlier comments in the Twitter post about companies creating "opt-in relationships". Where do they draw the line here?
Ive been wondering about what they consider spam, thanks for being so helpful!
