Twitter announced on Saturday that it would let users buy subscriptions to Twitter Blue to get a blue checkmark and access special features starting Monday.
It will cost $8 a month for web users and $11 a month for iPhone users.

Subscribers will see fewer ads, be able to post longer videos and have their tweets featured more prominently.

Today is Green Monday.

Its always the second Monday of December and experts say it is the busiest sales day of the month, due to looming holiday shopping deadlines.

It’s also, specifically, the last Monday with at least 10 days prior to Christmas — which is important if the gift you bought needs at least 10 business days to arrive.

The “Green” in Green Monday refers to money, which shoppers are more willing to spend with less than two weeks remaining until Christmas. There is a sense of urgency, and that translates into online sales as people rush to complete their holiday shopping lists.
