Twitter Needs a Spam Filter? No, We Need a Marketer Filter

I feel no pity for people who don't want to see #moonfruit tweets. If it's that big a deal, unfollow your greedy friends who are willing to spam you in order for a shot at a laptop.

If you took out the people trying to market something (or themselves) there would be hardly anyone left

I very much agree.<p>I wonder how much traction there will be in the next 18-24 months for a social network service that advertises a "No marketing" policy for it's users. I think people would value a service that refused to advertise to them or otherwise sell their data.
