Considering estimates that about 90% of all e-mail is spam, honing that figure down to 1% is fairly impressive. The company doesn't go into too much detail regarding its methods for actually battling spam, but does remind users that clicking the "report for spam" link on suspicious-looking profile pages is one way we can all help improve the Twitter experience. You can also send a tweet to @spam, and find out even more about spam reporting at Twitter's help site.

Have you noticed a dropoff in spam in your usage of Twitter over the past few months?
