"Twitter needs a far more aggressive, automated, proactive, heuristic-based anti-spam system. And if someone has trouble legitimately tweeting a link with no text to 100 people in a row who don’t follow them at precise 1-minute intervals, that’s just the price we’ll have to pay." Actually, Twitter already has similar measures. If you try to send out a link too many times in a row, your account is disabled. And too many is not 100s of tweets, but around 10. This is just anecdotal evidence, but there are clearly some measures in place to prevent spam. Why Twitter only targets some spam-posting methods and not others would be interesting to know.
