There isn't going to be a cure for this problem. Twitter is becoming a mainstream tool just like Google(Internet Marketers) and TV(Paid Infomercials). That's just the reality of today's society. Everything that gets the worlds attention (or at least the United States) is at some point going to be subject to spam whether we like it or not. Unless there one day becomes a "cure" for spam this is just another obstacle that we're going to have to maneuver around.
That's the only way I can see this. Really, Twitter can't help it. I mean look at Youtube- They tried to stop people from putting links into their comment system..... Did this help prevent spam? No, it didn't. Google developed a link system to prevent spam.... That didn't work either because internet marketers figured it out.
All in all, there's really nothing we can do about this problem unless we get rid of spam all together. It's not a step by step process, it's something that needs to happen instantly.
