How to Block Users on Twitter - a Twitter Tutorial

Introduction

This hasn’t happened to me before, but I know a few people who have had issues with receiving @reply spam. You can receive @replies from twitter users ever if you aren’t following them. Most people chalk this up as an unavoidable problem and simply deal with it. Well good news for those of you out there who want this, there is an option to block users.

Where to Find the Block Link

If you truly wish to block soemone from sending you @replies, you need to actually visit their profile. Once on their profile page point your attention to the right sidebar. Scroll down a bit to the bottom of the sidebar content (below the collage of people the individual is following) and there should be a link entitled, “block.”

Screen shot Example:

Here is a screen shot example: (I am simply using Dave Morin as an example, Dave is actually a great guy, and if you don’t follow him already, you NEED to!)
