If you’re like us, you’re beginning to see many more spam bots follow you on Twitter.
There are several ways to take on this problem, but one of the best applications that I have recently tried out is TwitBlock.org.

From this screen, TwitBlock can rank all of your followers based on the “spamminess.” You can analyze each user by reviewing a summary of tests that are run against that user to arrive at their spam score.
