Twitter to enforce the # of accounts a person can follow daily | Twitter a imponer el # de cuentas que la gente puede seguir a diario

When something is really cool, there are always people who try to make use of such services for purposes most people don’t really want. No one likes e-mail spam. People at Twitter don’t like spamming at the micro-blogging service either. Because of this growing spamming problem, Twitter has decided to enforce the number of accounts a person can follow per single day to 1000. It should at least help reduce the amount of spamming, but it may cause some problem to our Twitter applications like TwitterFox and TweetDeck. If only we could remove those spammers from Twitter somehow.

Cuando algo es bien chévere, siempre hay gente que trata de usar tales servicios para propósitos que mucha gente en realidad no quiere. A nadie le gusta el correo electrónica basura. A la gente tampoco le gusta esa basura en el servicio micro-bitácora. Por el cada vez mayor problema de mensajes basura, Twitter ha decidido a imponer el número de cuentas que una persona puede seguir por cada día a 1000. Debería esto por lo menos ayudar a reducir la cantidad de mensajes basura, pero quizás cause unos problemas para nuestras aplicaciones Twitter como TwitterFox y TweetDeck. Si sólo se puediese sacar de algún modo de Twitter a esas personas que envian mensajes basura.
