Stop Twitter Spam

Yesterday I started to use Trendrr to track mentions of “twitter spam” and @spam on Twitter.  Here are two real-time charts showing the number of mentions per hour.  As of the writing of this blog post, @spam is mentioned between 10 and 50 times per hour.  “twitter spam” is mentioned up to 120 times per hour.

I first heard about Trendrr on Fred Wilson’s excellent A VC blog. You can track up to ten phrases for free. Pro accounts range from $49 / month (30 phrases) to $999 / month (unlimited phrases and full reporting). You can follow Trendrr on Twitter here: @Trendrr.
