Twitter Buys Into Spamming Theory And Limits Following

Funny thing happened to me on the way to the Twitter client today. I tried to follow my friends band, Treaty of Paris, and I got a nice message from Twitter. I follow too many people. I need to follow less before I can add more.

This makes NO sense to me what-so-ever.

Who cares how many people I follow? As I have stated before, following someone does not mean you can spam them. They have to follow you back in order for them to see your messages and tweets. Has it occurred to Twitter that maybe I like following lots and lots of people because it helps my third shift go faster.

Is it possible that I like reading random tweets from people I don’t know? I have made new friends by following random people on Twitter. This limit disheartens me.

When you start controlling who people follow, you defeat the point of Twitter. I can understand limits to posting, spamming, but once again, YOU CAN NOT SPAM BY FOLLOWING SOMEONE.
