Later, Spam! Report spam on twitter, get points in budding game-app
How clever. Andre Torrez has just launched "Later, Spam!" which makes reporting twitter-spam a bit more fun, or like game.

Nothing yet, apart from the satisfaction of seeing when twitter confirms that a reported spam-account was spam, which is a nice enough itch to have scratched. Wouldn't it be hilarious in the not too far off future if the Hormel foods, makers of Spam® got in on this and offered a prize to the top twenty spam-reporters. Say, a crate of Spam®....
