If you are anything like me, you despise Twitter Spam and unwanted solicitations. Hey, Twitter is FREE so what can you do about it? Report them!

Here’s how using two of the most popular twitter clients Seesmic Desktop and TweetDeck.

The next step is to block and un-follow the Dweebs (I’ll do both AFTER I first report them). You can also report them manually by sending a direct message to @spam with the offender's @name and a link to the offending tweet (Example: d spam @MoneyMome13 http://twitter.com/MoneyMome13/statuses/4428236145)

Twitter says that reported Spammers will have their accounts removed and even blocked at the I.P. level.

Take that you nasty Spammers!

Yay for Twitter!

Thanks for the info.  It can be a real pain and time waster dealing with it.

How can we define spam?  I'd hate for someone to think that I was a spammer because I post about real estate for sale...  ;^ )

Mike - I'm with you, let's get rid of these people.  I don't need spammers tweeting me, and nobody else want's that either.

Mike, thanks for the heads up. I was just blocking the spanners. This should help.
