With Twitter lists now firmly part of the Twitter community it's really important to remember to check your list every so often and clean out any rogue accounts that have sprung up.
Sadly as with any system some peoples accounts will be compromised and will start sending out all sorts of nasty messages or spam links.
This usually happens when a users password has been nabbed by an external Twitter app.
Because anyone can follow the lists you create they too will be getting the spam when they view your list. It gives a negative impression of your charities brand if you have lots of dodgy looking tweets from people you have listed.
Google's Added Twitter list danger
Google now indexes Twitter lists and places them under your Twitter accounts entry in the Google Search results, for many of you your Twitter account is appearing in search results close to your main websites domain name.
A supporter stumbling into your lists isn't what you want to happen if its full of spam tweets, not the best first impression.
