Twitter hurts users not abusers

03.09.08

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 ?

    Its all the users who are suffering due to this nofollow movement by Twitter.

    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?

    @ Tanner (does Utah marketing)
    - 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.

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