That's only the top of the iceberg. Google removes untrusted links but can be easily fooled to show save at work anchor text for links pointing to the worst porn traps avail on the 'net.

How easy it is to spam Google's real-time search is the first thing I've thought when testing it for the first time... I don't know why Google didn't think a bit harder before releasing it. Topsy is a Twitter search engine showing the most RTed links. Spam is much more difficult there and it combines real-time with crowdsourcing...

I am looking forward to Twitter "quality of profile" algorithm :) We SEOs will start doing TEO (Twitter Engine Optimisation)
