    Theyre the spammers of Twitter, just wanting you to follow them back to increase their popularity as well as spam you with updates more than likely :D

    Yeah, go to your account and list your followers. There is a link to block as you hover over them.

    Yeah, I tend to block most people that follow me if it's all about promotional stuff.
    I get this more and more lately, unfortunately
    Another stunt is to not put anything in as a "tweet", gain massive followers then just start tweeting away.

    The more active you get with Twitter, the more spam followers you'll start to get. I don't worry to much about it, if they want to follow me, let them. Not like I'm going to follow them back, I recently added a TrueTwit Sign Up to filter out the spammers that follow me.
    I always unfollow anyone that I see posting from an API or twitterfeed as well. ;)

    Wow, I hadn't run across truetwit before, thanks! Hopefully that'll keep the bots away ;)

    LOL I just got like 3 more people following me. Spam bots are annoying.

    It's been pretty handy for be, I've only had it setup a few days but it'll follow a user back if they pass the captcha images. :)
