However, I wonder, shouldn't Twitter be able to pick these messages up automatically fairly fast, after (I assume) hundreds if not thousands of users have flagged them?
Also, the spammers can't have unlimited IP's. Twitters anti spam kinda seems to lag back behind E-Mail (subjectively).
Is there a reason the same techniques used in E-Mail aren't applicable to Twitter?
