If not, no worries – your individual Twitter experience will continue unchanged,” Twitter’s product manager, Emil Leong, stated in his blog post. He also added, “We’re also making managing your notifications settings easier: you can now access them directly from your notifications tab.”

Leong also explained that, “Turning it on filters lower-quality content, like duplicate Tweets or content that appears to be automated, from your notifications and other parts of your Twitter experience. It does not filter content from people you follow or accounts you’ve recently interacted with – and depending on your preferences, you can turn it on or off in your notifications settings.”

Twitter Paid $36 Million To IBM For Patents

Posted By: Arin Dey - March 10, 2014
Twitter paid $36 million to IBM for 900 patents as reported on the papers filed with the Securities Exchange Commission. After a threat last November by IBM to sue the social network over three patents, twitter dished out the amount to avoid lawsuit. Though the patent exchange was announced earlier this year but the financial amount was not disclosed until the papers became publicly available.
Twitter Paid $36 million to IBM For Patents
According to the source, it is seen that Twitter holds nearly 1,000 U.S. patents with 100 more applications pending approval as of date.

Twitter reported that “Many companies in these industries, including many of our competitors, have substantially larger patent and intellectual property portfolios than we do, which could make us a target for litigation as we may not be able to assert counterclaims against parties that sue us for patent, or other intellectual property infringement.”

IBM threatened with legal action late last year over three patents which were similar to their own. Some major giants have also come across the situation that Apple and Microsoft are investors in one patent company that has sued Google.

Twitter May Start eCommerce With Stripe

Posted By: Arin Dey - January 20, 2014
Twitter and Stripe are probably clubbing together and very soon we will see Twitter users making purchases through the social network online.


Stripe offers a variety of application program interfaces for small-mid and larger sized companies. Twitter is going to sign the deal which would be for the first time when Twitter will allow companies to sell their products directly through their network. So it would be interesting while you tweet can go for online shopping also.

On recode.net, it is found that spokespersons from neither firm were willing to speak on the deal, but heard that “close to the deal”. It means Titter account holders could soon start making purchases through their account online.

A month after from the time when Twitter announced it would begin targeted advertising for its users, now it shows interests for selling products to users based on Web browsing and searches. Twitter could finally enter the world of eCommerce and it would receive some financial support from the companies selling products through the network obviously.
