Parrots will be banned: Twitter prohibits recurring tweets
Last monday (oct-12 2009), Twitter updated their Terms of Service — and specifically twitter rules — for twitter’s service. What’s new? Now you can suffer a suspension if you post recurring tweets:
If you post duplicate content over multiple accounts or multiple duplicate updates on one account
Now you’re warned. Be careful when copy/pasting the same tweet to promote your blog, or when using tools that repeat the same twit multiple times.
This goes the right way to prevent spamming. But this must remind you that Twitter has the power to change its own rules. This is not democracy, this is what is sometimes called « Benevolent dictatorship » (« Dictateur bienveillant » in french).
Would you rely your business on an entity you have absolutely no power on? French guys will appreciate the Russian Loanings phenomena :)
