Trolldor Helps Twitter Users Identify Trolls

Spammers on Twitter can be pretty easy to spot — they’re usually the ones posting sketchy links. Bots should be pretty easy to spot too, unless they’re social bots. But when it comes to trolls, it is rarely so black and white. A new tool called Trolldor uses nine metrics to identify trolls, bots and spammers.

According to the FAQ page, Trolldor hopes “to combat the defenselessness of Twitter users.” The company aims to do this by creating a blacklist for trolls, offering any Twitter user the ability to report another user and to check the status of others using Trolldor’s metrics.
