Spammy services and Twitterfall

At Twitterfall we (obviously) use Twitter every day, and use Twitterfall every day. We've observed what others are talking about, that apps are writing to Twitter without user understanding or approval. Not only that but lots of people just let these services spam their followers with unwanted tweets ('I've become the mayor of...' etc.).

As you may know, Twitterfall has supported global exclusions for some time. This means that you can filter out spammers, or certain terms (e.g. 'free xbox'). Now we've gone one step further to help you filter your Twitterfall.

You can now exclude services from your Twitterfall.

To do this, simply add 'service:badservice' to your exclusions. You can see what services tweets come from by viewing them on Twitter.com.
