Twitter hurts users not abusers

As twitter folds under the mighty pressure of Matt Cutts by removing the ability to get link juice from your profile link, I ask some questions:
Did Twitter stop the bots ? NO
Did twitter NoFollow peoples links to twitterberry (http://www.orangatame.com/products/twitterberry/ ) ? NO IMO they should have.
Should twitterberry NoFollow the only Out Bound Link to http://www.minimalistic-design.net/ ? Maybe they should.
Will Google ban the sites that are buying links on http://www.minimalistic-design.net ? Well they won’t ban http://www.cnn.com
Should the internet be a much fairer place ? .. HELL NO how else would we win in the good fight ?

Good post and title.
Its all the users who are suffering due to this nofollow movement by Twitter.
I too could not stop myself from blogging about it.
Its a twitter war!
Talk about holes in the defense. They are scrambling to protect that trillion dollar market cap.
I’ll be honest, I couldn’t really undestand what you are blogging about here. Is English not your native language?

- I am surprised you posted that comment - or was it for the anchor text?
The post is about Twitter nofollowing links from the bio page based on a tweet from Matt Cutts - however still follows links from the applications and DaveN provides an example of abuse where all the inbound followed links from an application flow through to a page which only follow links to that one site.
Though to be honest DaveN - Minimalist design had nothing to do with the app - I have seen that design ages ago in opensource designs. The theme creator was in a lucky place - that the template was used by the app creator.
You know, sometimes while I think these guys get a fire under their arse to do something about something. their only kidding themselves.
Regards, Matt

The original post was poorly written with a lot of grammatical errors. That’s why I couldn’t understand it.
