I learned the hard way that sometimes it would be better to block an account than follow it…
Oh, Twitter. -Sigh- Twitter to Allow Photo Attachments in Direct Messages Twitter announced yesterday that the micro-blog giant will start allowing users to send photos to others using their Direct Message feature. While this sounds like a reasonable idea, with the amount of unsolicited messages from strangers that tend to float around the Twitter-sphere, we…

A 21 year old man has been arrested for issuing tweets on Twitter threatening to rape Caroline Criado-Perez, the woman who campaigned for a female face on British banknotes until recently.
