Searching "Fort Collins" on Twitter? Search Smarter…

I’ve been plagued by spam when searching for “Fort Collins” on Twitter.  It’s a great way to find local events, but the porn spam was getting ridiculous.

Twitter Spam

Most of the porn spammers post non-random URLs, that is, URLs with common base: bit.ly/69twitter, bit.ly/gosexy, bit.ly/girls69, bit.ly/69ta04, bit.ly/VKt3H.

Using this search instead (and you can use it in TweetDeck, too!) will greatly reduce the spam you’re seeing:

Fort Collins -http://bit.ly/girls69 -http://bit.ly/gosexy -http://bit.ly/69ta04 -http://bit.ly/VKt3H -http://bit.ly/69twitter

Enjoy!

    @TeresaKahle That’s true – they don’t always include the same cities though. Here’s my solution: http://su.pr/2lw9C8
