Good for them. Since I started using Twitter most of the spam has been related to this.

If they'd done that *before* announcing Promoted Tweets I think I would have been more impressed. Right now it looks a bit like protectionism.

How will they avoid paid tweets? I just don't see that being possible.
Nice try, though. In any case tweets are pure spam to me. YMMV.

claus: I assume they will cut them off at the API key level, wiping out the application for all users.

They're banning api injections. Plenty of sites where you can buy tweets manually. I assume people will just do that.

I'm still surprised at how many people provide their twitter password to 3rd party services, for allowing paid tweets or otherwise, it's required by many of those services.
I'd hope twitter clamps down on accounts that have given access to 3rd parties by providing actual login/password information.
