    Twitter has added a way for users to report multiple abusive tweets at the same the time, marking one more incremental step by the microblogging service to crack down on harassment.

    Hands-on with Microsoft's Word Flow keyboard for iOS

I’ve been playing around with the keyboard on an iPhone 6s, and I’ve got to say, it’s an excellent addition to the phone. The most important feature of the keyboard is the ability to swipe across multiple keys with a finger in order to type in words.
