Are you interested in or using Twitter some way for your business?

If so, then you’ve hopefully been paying attention to some of the great development going on around Twitter’s API and Twitter Search.

I’m doing some work and thinking around Twitter right now, but when I saw this article I was glad to see someone talking about it:

Search Enginge Land: Twitter’s Real-Time Spam Problem

I had some thoughts that I wanted to share of my own and posted a Comment with one possible solution to what could keep growing into an even bigger spam problem for Twitter.

Crowdsourcing.

I think that if Twitter introduced a small button to allow users to tag a Tweet as spam, it could help. Enough tags and a Tweet is deleted and/or the account is frozen.

I love the elegance of letting the community do the work.

I also shared in my Comment on Search Engine Land why I compare Twitter Search to “A Free Google AdWords System.” Go check out the article if you want to read more.

Again, it’s here: Twitter’s Real-Time Spam Problem
