		<description>You don&#039;t -have- to use those terms - those I just illustrated for example. I&#039;d personally go the Google Reader route so that you can use your own judgement to unfollow.</description>

		<description>This is a great tool for finding spammers who have yet to be suspended by Twitter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My question is, why doesn&#039;t twitter have a system in place to automatically unfollow any suspended accounts?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Or, similarly, is there a tool like this to go through all of your followers and figure out if any of them have been suspended so that you can unfollow them to make room for new followers (if you&#039;ve reached a twitter limit)?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;love the blog!  thanks!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com/nonpretentious&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.twitter.com/nonpretentious&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Love the concept, but I take issue with the terms you chose as the marks of a spam tweet. I&#039;m sure I have tweeted &quot;Whew, just finished a long new blog post!&quot; or something of the sort ... and there are perfectly legitimate people who share a blog post they wrote every once in awhile preceded by &quot;New Blog Post:&quot; Non-spammers could also tweet &quot;Need some way to make more money&quot; as a vent and not as a scam invitation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can definitely use this method to find people who might throw up red flags, but I&#039;d refrain from doing it automatically, as then it would have automatically unfollowed you, according to Summize: &lt;a href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/cttjsu&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://tinyurl.com/cttjsu&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Even a 100% spammy term like tweetergetter will probably come up in some tweets by people who say &quot;I hate tweetergetter.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have you seen TweetSum? They&#039;re still working on the algorithm, but it ranks a user&#039;s past behavior against a &quot;douchebag index&quot; and the spammers move to the top. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tweetsum.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.tweetsum.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>
