Yeah the twitter botspam on trending topics is a big problem. I found on tweetmotif.com their messages sometimes fall into a similarity cluster together so you can look around them sometimes. (but it's far from perfect for a bot detection task; it should be done in a more specialized way. it was an accidental side-effect here)

Typical pattern here, a startup launches with community features that are only used by an enthusiastic, loyal, early adopter crowd. When it starts to go mainstream, the larger audience size attracts spammers, and the usefulness of the site drops precipitously.
