Great, this should be fun. Just like the domain squatting of yore, spammers will be snatching up any name that’s seo worthy and then using the accounts to spam link to their sites. Fantastic! Paul talks more about it over at Talk New Media.

I’m very much dreading when spammers start abusing the system, not only will it destroy the flow of conversations but it could end up costing Twitter money as well as people who’ve got it setup to SMS them. Though I think the fact that you have to approve friends should assuage that problem just about entirely.
