Tech a byte

Computerworld.com.ph website has been tagged as 'harmful' in Google SERP.


Update:
(11/5/2009): Computerworld.com.ph is unlisted in Google SERP as a 'suspicious' site.

Twitter introduces a new feature to block spammers. This can be done by clicking the 'Report [profile name] for Spam' button under Actions section of a profile's sidebar. With this, suspicious profile will be blocked on following or replying you.

This feature has not been applied automatically so that it will not be abused by twitterers who will intentionally report profiles as spam for those they don't like. Besides, reported spam profiles will be scrutinized manually by Twitter's Trust and Safety team for authentication.

Keep updated, follow me on twitter.
