SocialToo, one of the few services that provided a way to auto-dm new followers, recently made a bold move against spammers on Twitter. Much more than just a way to get at new followers on Twitter, Socialtoo is a way to solve many of your social media needs.

What Did They Do?

According to their blog, SocialToo has decided to discontinue their auto-dm service. You know all those Direct Messages you get from people you follow with links to random crap that you probably don’t care about? SocialToo will no longer provide anyone with the means to send those to you.

That’s probably not all that interesting to you. That’s only one of many services that are setup to spam you, right? Well, they’ve taken it a step further:

In addition, starting today, while you will no longer have need for blocking SocialToo users’ automated DMs, we encourage you to invite all your friends to come check the same option you were using to block SocialToo DMs, and we’ll block other sites that do automated-dms.

So, basically, if you go sign up at SocialToo, you can potentially block all automated DM’s from any service. SocialToo has just replaced one of their most recognized features with a very powerful tool against Twitter spammers.

But Wait, There’s More

Besides keeping the quality of the social community in mind, SocialToo has much more to offer:

• You can auto-follow those who follow you on Twitter
• Blacklist those you never want to follow
• Unfollow people based on filters
• Get a daily email detailing who followed or unfollowed you, including the last tweet you sent before they did so
• Poll your network using the Social Surveys feature

You even get a simple URL that points to your Facebook profile so you don’t have to look it up every time (mine is rahsheen.socialtoo.com).

Jesse Stay over at SocialToo is very active in the social media community and responsive to feature requests and user input. Blocking all auto-dm’s across multiple services is reason enough to sign up, but I definitely enjoy a few of the other features as well. It’s clear to me that SocialToo has been listening to the community and is keeping our best interests at heart.
