Twitter adds “report for spam” link to your profile

Earlier today twitter launched a new tool to report spammers. Previously you could report spammers by Tweeting “@spam @spammer_account” and Twitter would look into it, or not. In the old system you could then Block that person too.

But that was an extra step.

After you click the “OK” button the account is blocked for you and reported. You can even Undo your action if you feel remorseful:

Lets hope it will get rid of all spammers.
