New MSN butterfly on it’s way

It seems that there’s a new MSN butterfly on it’s way. This could only mean that Microsoft’s MSN could be getting a face lift or a touch-up soon.

The new butterfly’s super simple and has a strong web 2.0 feel to it. So far I’ve aware of only 2 variations of the butterfly. Monochrome and color.

I actually feel that the logo’s not bad looking, it might be simple but only time with tell if the butterfly flies or crashes.

What do you think of the new butterfly?

Report spam on Twitter

@spam was how twitter initial kept track of those pesky spammers. Now, they launched the official “report spam” feature.

To report someone as spam, simple go to their profile and click the “report [usename] for spam” link. This will prevent them from messaging or following you.

All reported accounts will get forwarded to Twitter’s officials for review before getting banned.

The process to report has been simplified.Just by doing that, users are now more empowered to keep spammers at bay.

This is good, I’ve been getting spammed like there’s no tomorrow. Can’t wait to start clicking that link
