It can be a tricky beast to master in terms of PR but very effective when it works!
Keep at it though, at least you have good stuff to tell folks about

Looks like it's a script sending tweets on your behalf - Twitter-Train? "We may use your account to promote our services"

A change of password should do the trick for this one I think!

*edit* or possibly trusting to the STOP link on their site: Twitter Train)

Been noticing this kind of thing/hack a lot more of late, we haven't been affected as yet though.

On a side note, it's pointless trying to 'gain followers' when it's just going to be random people, especially if you're going after a specific audience.

For the record, it's been really good for us and can be just as important as the site at times (albeit it reaches a much smaller audience, but they tend to be the type of people we're after.)

We're here by the way:

Arse burgers!! I go to sleep and my whole Twitter world goes to hell in a handcart.

Changed password, I hope I have avenged these spammers Twitter (when it works) is ace and I think it will help people if they are at a loose end and don't know where to go. I hope to capture the 'floating voters' as it were.

Btw The Kiosque is awesome
