Twitter spam paper at CCS 2010

My paper about spam on Twitter has been accepted into ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security in Oct 2010. It’s going to be a fun presentation in Chicago, and I’m looking forward to continuing the project now that we have the first part of our work out on it.

Overall it was an interesting project that’s goal was to understand spam on Twitter and what, if anything, is the difference between Twitter spam and email spam (besides that it’s shorter). More details on the results and analysis after the camera ready…
