Heather Green whacks us philosophical on twitter.

Twitter: It’s Not a Hit if it Don’t Have That Spam
Andrew Baron notes that the inevitable has arrived in his email box: Twitter Spam. Ahh pornography and spam, the hallmarks of any Internet product. Don’t get me wrong, I am not knocking the Internet. It’s afterall just a manifestation of all that makes up humans. So now, the whack a mole begins. But it’s amazing to think of some of the great features that wither on the vine because of spam. Essentially trackbacks are dead to me at this point, for instance.

Of course, Dembot is not the only one who has encountered this and  certainly won’t be the last.
