I reckon, combined? We could make Twitter spam history (or so expensive as not to be worth it for the spammers). Thus, the masses pool their efforts to remove spam from Twitter (since of course, all this would be collated and automatically fed back to Twitter's spam team).
#TWITTER CLEANX CODE#
Spam Hunter - a neat game (a core chunk of the back end code already written) to make it fun (and super efficient) to hunt spammers on Twitter. This is already partly running on my Twit Cleaner account. Additionally, catching and quarantining all the phishing attacks Twitter suffers, and feeding those back en masse to Twitter, so they can break the links and quickly quell any new attacks that arise, before they spread. Oh, and a billing system.ĭM guard - deleting the myriad of DM spam we all receive. I've had this running on my personal account for a year or so, it's just needed some UI whipped up around it. So, here's some things I had in the pipeline that won't see the light of day:įiltered follow back - like auto-follow, but filtered through the (user customisable) Twit Cleaner reports, so if they would appear on (your choice of) report sections, you won't follow them only if they're awesome. If I can't even maintain the base service, I certainly can't (won't) roll out any new functionality I had planned, all of which sits on top of Twitter's APIs. Unfortunately, the new API is so crippling that Twit Cleaner is unable to continue. I wanted to make Twitter a better place for everyone. Everything on Twit Cleaner (bar some low level server decisions), I've personally done. It's been my primary occupation over that time, and absorbed several thousand hours of coding, designing, building, testing and supporting it. Given that I haven't managed to develop a livable income out of it in that time (barring donations from you many wonderful, generous people), it's pretty obvious I'm not in it for the money. Actually, that's a lie, I worked 65 hours straight, with 3 hours of naps.
