some sort of middle ground between going private and not wanting to be followed by strangers?
My twitters are currently public and I'm fine with that (I find the "this user is private" experience a little off-putting, but that's a separate issue) but I'd love to be able to go in and bulk-delete the twitter-collector people from following me rather than having to go in and block them one at a time. Any thoughts on that?

Inappropriate?I also have this problem. I want to be able to approve people that want to follow me so I don't get all this "nmbr1grl86" and "AdultSitesList" following me. I don't even get emails about this letting me know they've started following me.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I agree with both of you. I think there needs to be an approval process before someone is listed as your follower. I like to keep my updates public, but I don't want to go into my list of followers and find BestPornSites. It's not okay. I am not receiving emails either when these people are following me so that I can block them right away. This should be a BIG priority for the Twitter heads.

Inappropriate?I also agree. If this is not resolved soon, I may have to quit Twitter, even though I love the service. I just cannot keep policing the people who start watching me. This could be an issue for child predators, as not having the easy ability to require whitelisting people in order for them to watch you, a predator only needs find the child's twitter, start following it, and if the child is a typical youth of today, he/she is likely to just say "hey, I have a new follower! They must find my comments interesting." and now you have a situation where every minute posting from that child is available to the one trying to prey on him/her.
I'm not a doomsday type person, and I'm not willing to go overboard on "Think of the children!!!1!ONE!!!1!", but I think this is a serious privacy concern that needs to be addressed.
I’m frustrated and uncomfortable with the Twitter service at the moment.
