Yea, and on my work CPU, I *do* have those options clear as day. But, as seen in the screenshot above, those options just don't exist. Strange?

No option to use Google for RSS feeds?

There is no option to subscribe to RSS feeds other than Flock--there is supposed to be a choice for Google to handle all incoming RSS links and that does not show up in the popup menu inside of the preferences.

Can we have some preferences?

Could you allow us some preferences such as font size? The type is just too large and it would be great if we could adjust it and choose our own font styles.

Guys, if you are using Firefox, this Greasemonkey extension is AWESOME! It tries to watch the ratios on the user's Twitter page and alerts you if they are normal users or Twammers (Twitter Spammers) based on the followers they have. Try it out, I love it! http://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2008-0...

So...as we have said over and over, a simple email with the critical details of yourself would allow the person to either accept or deny your follow request--I think that's all people want. In other words, I don't care if you follow me, but, if I'm expected to follow you back, I want some details as to who you are and that you aren't using a bot to just snipe people for your own marketing purposes.

Margaret, that's cool that you follow as many as you do for your own reasons--but--let's be honest here, I'm not concerned with you--I think we can agree that we are targeting those who follow FIFTEEN THOUSAND people for example with no reason and no possible way for a human to actually follow that many people. Most of these people are using TwitterBots to just randomly follow people which I think is 150% wrong. THOSE are the people that need to be stopped, not someone legitimately following many people.

Wes' suggestion is killer--that's exactly what *I've* personally been hoping/crusading for--just give me *all* the person's details in the email so I don't have to go visit the Twitter site *just* to say "don't follow" or "block" or whatever--this is crazy since I sometimes have up to 10-20 of these requests a day, especially while I'm on the iPhone. I love Twitter, but, I don't feel the need to go to the Twitter website a few times an hour for no good reason!

Lets say weekly or bi-weekly and I like it!

Excellent ideas! As I said, why has it taken this long to implement something?With the technology it could have been done since day one.

A comment on the problem "Please stop the TwitterBot army--Twitter Spam Must Stop!" in Twitter:

I wouldn't even need the "suspect spammer" wording--I just want to see how many people they follow, how many people follow them and maybe the last 3 tweets right in the email. I have to keep asking "how hard could this be to implement?!" – mdelfs, on April 17, 2008 16:40

For a *great* list of Twitterspammers (Twammers), please see http://www.twitspam.com/. This is (I think) the definitive list of them on Twitter--and I have been sent follow requests from more than a few on that list.

And don't forget the iPhone! I do a lot of my Twittering (following, etc.) from the phone--make sure it's easy to delete spammers from there, too!

Since I last filed my suggestion above, I have gotten FIVE Twam (Twitter Spam) requests in 7 hours. – mdelfs, on April 16, 2008 23:16

Awesome idea. Let's all pitch in to stop Twitter Spam (Twam)

mdelfs started following the idea "Flag as spam button" in Twitter.

Hallelujah! I want that nice eMail that Twitter sends me to have all the details I would normally have to go and waste time finding out on the Twitter site. How hard could this be for them to implement? I bet it would take 40 seconds.
