Should Shoutboxes Be Friends Only?
One of the nice things about twitter is that for the most part you don’t see a lot of spam in your updates because you get to pick who you follow. So as long as you are careful you you let into your circle, spammers really have no way at you unless one of the people you are follwing starts using twitterfeed, which i consider as annoying as spam.
The BlogCatalog shoutboxes are somewhat protected from spammers, since we manually review all the blogs submitted to the directory, however some approved users just dont understand proper etteequite when it comes to sending a shout and end up spamming shoutboxes anyhow.
So my question is: Should there be an option to only allow shouts from your BC friends? OR do you find more benefit from being able to send and receive shouts to and from strangers?
