Well this picture should speak better words than what I want to convey.

retweetspam

I saw this on the newly launched Retweet.com which is a direct competitor to Tweetmeme both of which aggregate links on and show them Digg style to the users.

However looks like Retweet.com has a lot of work to do before they can even come close to the quality that is maintained on Tweetmeme. What is your take on this, do you like Tweetmeme or Retweet.com better?

    I personally don’t really like either sites but I am fmiliar with them for work purposes. There is a lot of spam ReTweet but I think the relatively new nature of the site does give them time to get it sorted. Isn’t the site still Beta?

    Yeah I donno, “the quality that is maintained on Tweetmeme” is… certainly unmatched.

    @Sean I did not mean to say retweet.com was doing a bad job I just said that there needs to be better filtering in place

Note: We discourage users from using keywords in their names while posting comments, most of them get caught by spam, also it really would be more fruitful in knowing people who comment by their real name, rather than by using a name no one relates to. In future we reserve the right to delete comments from users using a name other than their own.
