- Twitter Caught Spamming Google?
Since I am pretty active on many social networks, and since I generally use the same username on most social networks (like many people do), I find it necessary to monitor my user id. I like to watch how many times my username shows up in Google, among other places. I noticed recently that twitter.com has recently made a change to their site that is causing them to spam Google and the other search engines by allowing duplicate content to get indexed by the search engine spiders.
