20% of Links Shared on Twitter are Spam?

There was an interesting comment on a recent blog post by Read/Write Web called Social Networks and Spam. Twitturls.com aggregates popular URL’s that have been posted on Twitter.

At twitturls.com, a full 20% of the links we crawl from the public timeline are spam. This has been trending significantly up. Most of the code for the site is written to detect and delete spam before it reaches the homepage.
