I don't mind the Twitter ads

I don't mind the Twitter ads, but I do wish they had a way for me to say "not relevant to me" to specific ones (ie: San Diego job fairs).

I just use the built-in Twitter menu to mark the ad sender as a 'spammer', the same way I mark any not-a- regular-person who follows me.

It must work, so far I've yet to see the same ad or the same sender of an ad twice.

BTW: Why is 'Heinlein' a related topic to this post?

Hmmm... I thought that was a big heavy-handed for the particular advertiser here, but maybe...

Re "Heinlein": I don't know, it's time to rework the topic picker, maybe try to integrate a Markov chainer.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
