Twitter has become the representative applications of the micro-blog. By analysis on twitter a lot of messages(tweets)are the same or similar. Those messages bring up a trouble on the analysis and message storage, so it is needed to remove those messages which are the same or similar. According to the characteristics of short text on tweets, this paper proposes the following approach. It processes the same tweets based on the specific format, then uses the simhash to process the similar tweets. It uses 240 million tweets crawled on the Internet to experiment. In the experiment it only processes Chinese and English tweets. The repetition messages(tweets)is 10 percent of all the Chinese and English tweets.
