The latest product and policy updates from Twitter

The latest product and policy updates from Twitter
  magicsgifs
     
Hi magicsgifs,
We've been busy at work to make Twitter even more fun, useful, and secure. In just the last month or two, we've introduced:
  • Vine for Android: Vine is the best way to see and share life in motion. Create short, beautiful, looping videos in a simple and fun way for your friends and family to see. Now available on Google Play (and available for iPhone in the App Store).

  • Windows Phone and BlackBerry app updates: Take advantage of the latest Twitter features and functionality wherever you go. Find these apps on our mobile downloads page.

  • Login verification: Add a second check in the login process to make sure it's really you. Add and confirm a phone number and email address with your account to start taking advantage of this additional security.
Now, we're set to experiment with a way to make ads on Twitter more useful to our users in the United States by displaying promoted content from brands and business they've shown interest in. These tailored ads are based on information, such as browser-related information (a browser cookie ID), that our ad partners share with us. Learn more in our blog post here.
While we want to make our ads more useful, we also want to give users simple and meaningful privacy options. Simply uncheck the box next to "Promoted content" in your account settings, and Twitter will not match your account to information shared by our ad partners for tailoring ads. This is the only place you'll need to disable this feature on Twitter.
And because Twitter supports Do Not Track (DNT), Twitter will not receive browser-related information from our ad partners for tailoring ads if you have DNT enabled in your browser.
We've always got more updates coming, so keep your eye on the Official Twitter Blog or follow @twitter for the latest. In the meantime, visit our Help Center for more information about these options, and check out the short update to our Privacy Policy under Third Parties. Thanks for using Twitter!

Its official, super science-y title is: "Administration of agents mimicking dopachrome tautomerase (TRP-2) activity for protecting hair follicle melanocytes." But what that loosely translates to is much more interesting: We have a secret potion that will prevent gray hair. Forever.
