On Twitter, I check out any new follower. I don't have many and I've blocked a few. As you said, I don't get misdirected pitches to my blog so it's easy to spot the spam. Email is similarly easy, it's pretty easy to tell what's spammy just from the preview line that gmail gives me. Basically, if it's not directed in some personalized way to me, I trash it.
