Electro Dial≡

The following comment matches my own considered view — a computer calling me tells me you do not care about either your product, or the consumer you wish to form a relationship with. Thus, neither do I.

“I will not hold the line while I wait for someone to try and sell me something I don’t want. Whatever software you’re using to dial people and then drop them in a queue, get rid of it. Least effective marketing strategy ever.”

Spiced Hams≡

Twitter continues to suffer load issues. The thing that continues to strike me as awkwardly inefficient, is the functionality around the ability to ‘follow’ everyone. That’s an inherently flawed design as the one-to-many link typically means the spammer is receiving millions of (waste) updates a day. Many spammers equals endless load.

“To combat aggressive following directly we have recently imposed new limits on following—spammy accounts following to many users have been drastically curbed. Those that existed prior to this new limit await review.”

About fucking time — there should have been a zero-tolerance policy on this from day one. Anyone automatically following everyone else isn’t there to listen — a simple limit on followers-per-day is all it takes.
