Since I started this experiment I have received 819 DMs and it amazes me how inept some of them are, I don’t read them very often but a sizeable amount of them don’t fit into 140 characters. For example:

I would have thought that if you’re going to DM spam people then surely including the email address would be a priority?
Now this could be a language barrier obviously so I am not going to mock. It is worth noting Richaj2 has 4717 followers and Ultim8mktniche has 7392 ! 
I have gained another hundred followers in the last few hours, I’m around 2,110, but at a price, two of the sites I joined send a tweet every 3 hours or so automatically.

I delete them after about an hour so it doesn’t look so bad.
