I was just thinking “how long until Twitter gets completely over-run with spam-bots and bullshit techno-opportunists?” I know there’s not much to fear, since I don’t have to follow anyone I don’t want to. But I’ve already had two or three spam-bots (or, at least, accounts that really seem to be automated) sign up to follow me. I got two or three follow notifications today from people who don’t know me. I know it’s totally normal, since i sometimes send @replies to some high-profile people, but it still weirds me out a little.
Anyway, the point is, my general mindset recently is that nothing nice stays nice for long. I don’t like thinking that way. It’s only in the last few years that I’ve started feeling this way.
I just read this on the blog belonging to one of my new Twitter followers. Seems like he might be of a similar opinion about his own mindset. Props. Let’s change it.
