4 steps to Get Rid of Twitter Spam

On the past 2 weeks, I have received a lot of Twitter direct messages (DMs) with offers about “making money with Google” or “make $500 a day online”.

It appears that I am not the only one.

These Twitter direct messages are not only annoying but they kill in less than a second all the reputation that we took so hard to build through our tweets.

4 Steps To Get Rid of Twitter Spam

Step 1: Login to your Twitter account at http://twitter.com/login

Step 2: Go to http://twitter.com/account/connections. Here you will see all the applications that have access to your account.

For example:

Step 3: Review all the applications that have access to your Twitter account and revoke access from those that you don’t recognize.  Rule of thumb: if you take more than 3 seconds to recognize the application, revoke access anyway. If it happens to be a legitimate application that you use on a regular basis, the application will ask you again for access the next time you use it.

Step 4: Change your Twitter password. Yes, it sucks, just do it.  A small price to pay now for a better life without Twiter spam in the future.

You’re done! Give yourself a hug!
