Spam and spammers have influenced the design of TiddlySpace in a couple of ways: - The basic content model of being able to write into your own space, but not having any "common" areas, means that spammers at least need to have an account, which gives us a choke point - The following mechanism pulls out the content that you're interested in, making it less likely that you'll see spam as an end user Philosophically, I'm interested in social measures more than anything. I quite like the idea of a TiddlySpace service that, like early Facebook, only makes accounts available to individuals with an accreditation to a trusted organisation.
