So i'm seeing a ton of tweet spam that appends the trending topics to
the tweet.  For example, "Hey here is my http://spam/1234 Michael
Jackson MJ iran"

They get picked up by searches ( for instance see the search "stock
market" at http://www.tweettronics.com  )

What is Twitter doing or planning on doing to deal with this?  It has
been noted elsewhere that any tweet with 3 or more trending topics is
likely to be spam... Will Twiitter institute an automated spam
rejection through the API let alone through it's other interfaces?

I suppose we've entered the era of dealing with Twitter spam with all
our apps... ugh

Please advise
