Follow Twitter’s lead and combat spam on your own.
1. Use TweetDeck to auto-report spam followers.
If you want to befriend a Twitter user on multiple social networks, Identify, a Firefox add-on will come in handy. This add-on provides you with more information about a Twitter user and you can also add him (or her) as a friend on other popular social networking sites.
