Twitter added a tool that lets users flag accounts of spammers at the globally-popular microblogging service.

Hitting a "Report as spam" button newly added to the Action section of Twitter pages alerts Twitter's safety team to check out what, if anything, should be done about a purportedly abusive profile.

"Folks can now help us conquer spam by calling our attention to a profile they find questionable," Jenna Dawn of Twitter said in a blog post.
