"Emma wants to keep up with you on Twitter"

[unixronin]

"Join Twitter now for free!  [...] This message was sent by a Twitter user who entered your email address."

Yeah, right.  Who the *%&$%@#@!(&( is Emma? I don't know anyone named Emma.  To the best of my knowledge, nobody named Emma has my email address that didn't harvest it off a mailing list somewhere or other or out of somebody's address book.  And whoever this fictional Emma is, "she" entered the same email address twice.

So now Twitter have become spammers...  great business model, guys.  Let me know how that works out for you.

Spammers have been using twitter for awhile now. They're pretty quick about shutting them down though.
