Twitter 'VIPs' now start seeing ads again

A few months back, Twitter started testing out a feature that kept "VIPs" or elite users from seeing ads on the social network. It wasn't clear what VIPs were. It didn't seem to be about reach but more about verified accounts. Now, though the test for these special people seem to be over as Twitter is now treating them like regular users. They can now see ads like the rest of us. In Twitter's defense, they didn't announce this as an official feature but more of a test of sorts which the company likes to engage in every now and then.

Google brings back Adblock Fast to the Play Store

It seems Google's issue with Adblock Fast was more technical in nature. The adblocking plugin has been reinstated on the Play Store. So, if you use Samsung's Internet Browser and running Android 4.0 or higher, you can install the plugin yet again. But if you're on Chrome and want to access the adblocker, unfortunately you won't be able to use this.
