sts_logo_t1Twitter spam got you down?  Tired of being flooded with auto direct messages trying to sell you on things you don’t want?  Sick of getting direct messages thanking you for following people while they pimp their blogs, eBooks and products to you?

Then today is your lucky day.  Jon Bishop wrote a great simple blog post that will show you how to stop receiving auto DMs on Twitter.  Go there now and stop auto DMs forever.

There are two main websites responsible for the auto DM epidemic, SocialToo and TweetLater. Both are great sites that have just been abused by their users.

Thankfully, both sites recognize the auto DM problem and have provided ways to opt out from receiving further communications via automated direct messages from their sites.
