Twitter follow - spamming

With the growing phenomenon that is Twitter (don't people remember it from 2004 when it wasn't cool?) There also seems to be a growing trend for random uninvited following. Its only Wednesday and I've had six uninvited 'followings' from people that I have never met, nor share any common associates.

I'm all for social networking – in its proper place, but if Twitter is attracting follow-spam then it's a slippery slope to being blocked altogether. I wonder if they have thought about the whole 'invitation-accept' handshake model of adding contacts that several other social networking sites use.

In the meantime if I don't know you....you're getting blocked.
