Is twitter, a Pimp?

Twitter is a closer competitor to Facebook, but why do a growing company need to end up like Myspace.

A quick search on a particular Friend’s name ended up in a result, in which most of the user’s  profile pages depicting adult content.

The phenomenon is particularly troubling on Twitter.  Twitter is attracting an older crowd that’s far more likely to be shocked or offended. The  facebook on the other hand had taken some steps  to keep its user from receiving spam. Both in twitter and facebook, anybody can join, and create profiles, but facebook still exist them to be real people. Why can’t twitter do so?

Making matters worse is that reporting spam on Twitter is way too cumbersome a process. There’s no “report spam” button as there is a “block” or “message” button on someone’s Facebook profile. You have to follow an account called “spam,” and then copy the URL and send a direct message to that account with the complaint.

If it takes the same number of steps to flag a spamming account as it takes to create one, users will never win the battle. There’s no reason why Twitter shouldn’t be catching spam, or at least making it easier to report.
