Twam
Spam sent via Twitter or other microblogging sites
Twam is spam sent via microblogging sites such as Twitter.
Because microblogging messages are usually only read by a blogger's followers and by those
referred to in the message, 'twammers' may attempt to gain a large number of followers by using an
attractive name and/or photograph. They also respond to individual users, usually when these have blogged
about something that may be relevant to the spamvertised product. For
instance, someone blogging a message containing the word 'weight' may receive weight-loss 'twam'.
