Since most federal agencies block Twitter web access from their internal systems, this naked follower won't get you in trouble at work. And if you think this person just might be truly interested in the content of your Twitter stream, think again. Unless you know this follower in real life, they are most likely a spammer.

This is as unfortunate as it is predictable. E-mail and blog spammers are apparently bored and looking for more ways to generate worthless computer packet activity and are now turning to Twitter to create spam accounts.

The screenshot below is representative of at least 10 new Twitter followers to an account who are clearly spammers. Context clues include: - the same suggestive photos are used on multiple accounts

- no URL or short bio is provided, giving (ostensibly) more information about the owner

- the same URLs and comments are posted on different accounts

- the number of "following" users far outstrips followers

- the account was created in the last 24 hours

Blocking someone instead of removing them means that not only do you not want to follow them, but you want to deny them the ability to follow or reply to you. Blocking is done from the actions section in the person's profile sidebar.

Blocking someone means that you (and your pic) will not appear on the blocked party's profile page, friends time line, badge, or anywhere else. The person will not be notified that they've been blocked, and they will be unable to follow you. If your account is public, the blocked party can still view your profile page, but can't receive your updates in their timeline or on their phone.

To block someone on Twitter:

  1. Log in to Twitter.
  2. Go to the profile page of the person you wish to block.
  3. Click Block (under actions panel in the sidebar)
  4. Click OKAY to confirm the block

Is it irreversible? No. If it turns out the naked follower you thought was a spammer is really an important business contact with questionable judgment, you can easily unblock him or her by following the same steps. The link, of course, will read unblock, instead of block. If you still have questions, submit a request to the Twitter Support team at support@twitter.com.
