Twitters trending topics has been a great tool. One that is easy to use and hold a lot of information on what is happening on Twitter and new events from around the world. Although it is so great it is still being hit with loads of spam. This has left it so hard to view tweets within trends. It’s all just a load of spam a lot of the time.

Today though Twitter has publicly acknowledged the problem and said that they are working on a solution. They are experimenting with new ways to show higher quality tweets within Twitter trends.

It is still in experimental stages and only a few users are getting to see the results at the moment, but lets hope that the trends get tidied up and becomes less of a mess.

Here is what Twitter had to say:

“As Twitter grows and the number of tweets each day continues to astound us, we’ve noticed an increasing amount of clutter in the public timeline, especially with trending topics. Trends began as a useful way to find out what’s going on but has grown less interesting due to the noisiness of the conversation.

So, today we’re starting to experiment with improvements to trends that will help you find more relevant tweets. Specifically, we’re working to show higher quality results for trend queries by returning tweets that are more useful. The improvement won’t be very noticeable at first, but this is a small step toward unearthing more value in search and getting you more relevant results.”
