Efficient use of the twitter tools & apps available greatly reduces one's exposure to this noise...whether its specific groups of top people within tweetdeck, seesmic & tweetgrid - or - managing your followers manually with twittter-karma, friendorfollow.com or even an automated program is recommended once your follower count begins to swell. Sticking with like minded people is the best remedy. As @guan mentioned - the unfollow (& block) option is always right at your finger tips. Plus, if you like the noise, there's never a shortage of MLM'ers & celebrities who gladly fill up your stream with...well, whatever. Jeff,

It says "Total News" because they added up all the posts. If you look at the whitepaper, everything was broken down into half hour segments over 2 weeks. Hence, the need for Total, instead of partial. Note: Notice the use of “Total” why not use “News” instead of “Total News” It must have been written by marketing .. or was it the PR Department?

Twitter is a conversation medium, still in its infancy, and it will have its share of good and bad stuff, just like normal life. There's a simple remedy to this - UNFOLLOW! However, even in the banal items, I sometimes discover gems of information. It's never predictable, but it keeps the Twitter stream interesting. Agree with blogpost.
