Perhaps a filter of either adding tags to a profile, or simply choosing a primary and secondary category. Before any of this, they need robust spam filters, and rid spam 99% - the limit of 2000 on following people to me is not a fix for spam, but a workaround, it will only lower spam levels slightly. Need some idea in my opinion to spot so many links being posted, or at least flag activity of those who post a link on every single tweet (spamming). They are a few points that I feel would improve twitter, trouble is with the groups etc, or tags - a) it opens up new ways to spam - B) kinda defeats the object of twitter really, it'd become more like facebook. Thanks for your comment :) Hey there, in my opinion, to fix it, it needs more filtering, groups etc, to get down the right people which interest you, people who are interested by you.

That is value in reading tweets. It is all a bunch of spam. How can we change that? Quite a rant, Twitter is too cluttered and does not have enough value in my eyes. That is value in reading tweets.
