All this media attention on Twitter reminds me of the buzz surrounding Digg in 2005. One of Digg’s biggest issues back then was how easily one could get a story to the front page. What people haven’t been talking about yet is how easily Twitter can be gamed.

It’s quite easy to become a top trend on Twitter. All you would have to do is hire a couple hundred people to keep on using your company/brand/product over and over in their tweets. Sounds like something a couple of hundred Russian kids would do for $1 apiece. Digg, to this day, acknowledges and fights ways of spamming Digg. I’m waiting for Twitter to step up to the plate because everyone knows that those top trends are being gamed daily.
