Detecting Spam on Twitter (aarjav.org)
2 points by ajju on May 6, 2009 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment


@semanticvoid pointed out that one of the problems with using @spam to collect spam for research is that some classes of spammers may be underreported. What is there was an account that just copy tweets from famous accounts or a feed and inserted malware links once a day?

Any ideas on how to improve my data/experiment?
