Twitter: blast those spam!

As Twitter grows and the number of tweets each day continues to astound us, we’ve noticed an increasing amount of clutter in the public timeline, especially with trending topics. Trends began as a useful way to find out what’s going on but has grown less interesting due to the noisiness of the conversation

You got that right. It's useless to find a recent update using trending topics when you always ended up fighting our way just to find a relevant topic. Twitter should learn from Google to manage the spam.
