I have a love hate relationship with Twitter. As a user I see the benefits of Twitter, when looking at it without the spam, duplicates and senseless tweets e.g. through jetwick.

To try it, go to this tweet and click on the ‘Find Similar’/’Guttenberg’ button below the tweet to investigate existing duplicates.
