Auto-anything is the antithesis of "social" networking.

Almost all the DM-Spam that has had viruses attached has come from folks who auto-find and auto-follow.

I recently went on a bit of a twitter rampage myself over a mass of #DADM (Dumb Auto DM) DM's to me are personal and a way to communicate out of the main stream of public conversation . . . auto DM's are just push advertising. I will unfollow those who have *very spammy auto DM's with suspicious links. You are not alone on this! Good on you Megan!

DM’s to me are personal and a way to communicate out of the main stream of public conversation . . . auto DM’s are just push advertising.

You are not alone on this!

Click on "Settings" and then on "connections" to see all the third party companies you have approved to have access to your twitter account. You can revoke their access from there. If that doesn't work try changing your password. Good Luck, Megan Hi Leslie,

Try adding a "auto DM" search column on your favorite desktop twitter client. You will see a stream of people venting their auto DM frustrations. You’re definitely not the only one.

I'd love to be able to receive my DMs on my phone, but this prevents it.

And I saw your DM to me on Twitter about this too. Thanks for raising my awareness about this. Could I ask for your help with the next step in the process, please: I haven't been able to find where to change that automatic DM message, or how turn it off altogether, to enable more personalized responses to people who start following me. I have clicked on all of the settings within my Twitter account and I don't see a place to change those settings. The closest thing I see is the page where I can opt to receive email notification when someone follows me or when someone sends me a DM. Megan, I would be grateful for your help with this (and perhaps other people would benefit from your answer too). Thanks, Megan! Leslie Hi Megan,
