Thank God I got into Twitter just before it became flooded with spam. Now I can watch it slowly crumble under failed commercialism, just like the Internet!

Something that appears to be an RSS feed of Sony Bravia news — with a direct link to an Amazon shopping page — just added itself to the twitter.com/crunchgear account. Luckily this is just amounts to two robots reading each other but it’s sad to see the service is already getting its share of uncontrollable spam. @viagra U SUCK TRY @cialis!
