It's more like if I signed up for a emailing list and then I get additional text messages or snail mail in addition. I have no problem with them twittering and me seeing it, I'm bothered by them sending me direct messages. @Nick,

I have no problem with them twittering and me seeing it, I’m bothered by them sending me direct messages.

All you have to do if you don't like what they are sending you is to click the UNFollow button. That's like complaining that you're receiving emails from a list you joined and then stated it's spam. Obviously if you look at someone's profile on twitter, you can get a jist of what they are about and you should expect nothing less from their posts. What you state they sent you has to do with their business, so why would you consider it spam? That's Ludicrous...
