Congratulations friends and followers on Twitter!

Every single one of your public tweets on Twitter going back
4 years is being digitally recorded by the Library of Congress.

That means all of us tweeting on Twitter will be going down in history.

So a big question is…
Why is the US government taking interest in the Twitter universe?

Watch this Video by FoxNews to learn why

TIP: Be on good behavior and maybe think twice before sending that Tweet. Twitter (like Facebook) is a real life social environment being recorded in many ways. So ask yourself… do I want the entire world to forever see what I tweeted?

We’d like to hear your opinion about this, leave us your comments below.

Last summer while driving through Wisconsin I ended up behind a car that had a bumper sticker which said “I heart spam”. I laughed and said now that is funny. Of course the person meant they loved the food spam but by experiencing spamming activity all over the place online, that bumper sticker gave me a chuckle needless to say.

With regards to spam online, we’re always likely to encounter spam in some shape or form (other than food). That is because there’s people who deliberately spam and others spam innocently. The goal is to minimize or control it. Well, the great news is that Twitter is working hard at reducing spam and from the looks of the graph, Twitter is winning the battle. Yay~

Thank you Twitter~

Have you noticed a reduction of Twitter spam?
