Although Twitter strictly turned off the ability to see tweets from the handles that have blocked you, but here are some simple tricks, which will allow you to do so:
1. Before, if you have blocked a person, which meant that, the person will not get any updates or notifications from your end. However, it is not the same anymore, now you cannot view the person’s timeline or tweets anymore. Instead, when you try to visit that person’s profile or try to read their tweets you will receive an error message saying, “You are blocked from @ABC and viewing @ABC’s Tweets”.
2. You will be clueless when a third person quotes a comment on the tweet by the person who has blocked you, as you have no idea about the actual tweet.
3. While the person who has blocked another person might hate this but some of them who are blocked by people is surely going to love it, as there is a solution to this problem. You should have a browser extension, which is exclusively available for Google Chrome.
4. Then you need to download the “unmasked tweets” extension that is created by Ravi Kiran, an IT professional, and after downloading this you will be able to see the tweets of person who has blocked you.
5. You need to restart or refresh the browser after you have downloaded and enabled the extension. You will be able to see the twitter bird flying out of the cage at the top of your home screen.
6. If Twitter has initiated which is in the interest of the public safety they should do it properly keeping in mind all the aspects such as an IT professional can easily crack the code by some or the other mean.
Starting your own online startup is a lot of hard work and commitment. When you put forth all the effort you hope that you will see a great profit. Unfortunately, you cannot just start up an online business and wait for the traffic to come rolling in. There is a lot more to it than just that. Getting traffic is a difficult thing if you do not know what you are doing without proper research.
There is a lot that goes into the making of a successful online business and its always an ongoing process. You need good advertising for starters, but you will also need an eye-catching and responsive web site that will help you bring people into your store or and convert users into buyers and streamline a revenue generating funnel. In order to do that you will need to search for a reputable SEO service for assistance.
How to Network Effectively
Networking is one of the most effective process you can do to help in your business ventures. However, since networking takes time, you want to make sure you are not simply asking other bloggers to drop links for you and send traffic your way. This is a system where you have to take time with other bloggers, get to know them and let them get to know you. Once you have taken the time to “socialize” you will find that getting your link on others blogs will be smoother and they will be happy to help you as long as you are willing to do the same.
Social Networking for Rapid Growth
Social Networking is one of the best ways to quickly draw web traffic to your site, as long as you are willing to take the time and put forth the effort that is needed. From Facebook to Twitter and even Google Plus, you can do so much with these sites. You want to be sure that the content that you use is appealing and will catch your audiences eyes right away. You need to be sure that you are talking to your audience when you make a post; let them know that you are real and not just trying to drum up sales. Hashtags are the number one priority when marketing through a social network. These are the words that people search for and will use to find your posts and then a link to your site.
One thing to watch for when posting on social media is to mix up your posts. Try not to post the same thing over and over again. You want to fluctuate what people see so that they do not get bored with your posts and start ignoring them. Joining groups and communities within the social networks is a great way to drum up traffic to your site because you are in a group with like-minded people who either do what you do or want what you have to offer.
SEO At Its Best
Search Engine Optimization or SEO is the biggest factor on driving traffic to your page. This is the system that Google, Bing, and even Yahoo use. These engines crawl over the coding of your site and find specific keywords related to what you do, the better the words are they better your search results are. If you show up on the very first page of a google search for your keyword the chances of people clicking a link to your site are exponentially better than if you were on page two or three. You can use a combination of on-site and off-site SEO to really drum up the traffic and really give your business a push in the right direction.
In conclusion, networking in today’s online environment requires patience. More importantly, it calls for a proactive attitude. Keep these attributes in your wheelhouse and expanding influence across the web will only be a matter of time.
Last week Tata arranged field day for bloggers from around India to experience it’s the latest car: the Tata Hexa. I was one of those 60 bloggers who were invited to gain firsthand off-the-road experience of the all-new Hexa by Tata Motors.
Bloggers were invited from over five metro cities to Hyderabad. Everyone was briefed about the vehicle while on the orientation day. The vehicle is typically created keeping in mind the urban lifestyle needs. Tata Motors have actually produced a beast.
IndieBloggers from Bangalore for the #HexaExperience Day1 Selfie time after landing at Hyderabad Airport.
Each Hexa had to be accompanied by a team which includes three bloggers. It was an estimated 170 km drive (80 km+ while on automatic transmission and 80 km+ on manual transmission) which was thrilling as well as fun to ride experience. We were even given an offroad test by an experienced driver from the Tata team and it was even more thrilling.
Tata seems to be all set for changing the trends in India creating larger acceptance and demand volume with vehicles like Hexa. The company obviously recognizes the inclination hence Tata Hexa comes with super exciting drive modes surpassing all the rough, jerky and bumpy ride incidents. Hexa was truly a redefining vehicle tackling all the issues of an Indian driver who daily faces the hindrances of being on roads full of potholes and slopes. Tata Hexa is designed to give you sheer excellence.
From the starting of this journey until the end including a test drive of the Tata Hexa, it was smooth and powerful. The best part was that we didn’t feel any engine vibration even at high speeds. The car was so stable that we even didn’t realize the speed sometimes as we were feeling like 50km/h while we were actually at 80km/h.
https://vine.co/v/5dVdqY9Xxe9
Tata Hexa was showcased in two variants: The Arizona Blue – Manual (Manual Transmission) and The Chrome Silver – Automatic (Auto Transmission). Hexa comes in only Diesel variation and not petrol. Apart from the technicalities of the vehicle, Hexa provides 128 L luggage capacity which is actually great to carry all your essentials. Hexa is great for both racing and family travel experience.
It is the ultimate response to all other MUVs in the market and is also a new start for Tata in this segment. I’m sure it’s going to be a strong fight against the opponents like Mahindra XUV 500 & Toyota Innova Crysta.
Well, without wasting any more time let’s get onto the unique sets of features that are all detailed below:
Features Explained
It was on the 2nd day of our journey that we were actually experiencing Hexa. It was all beyond explanation at the first look. Featuring ten JBL speakers, a touch screen central console, CONNECT NEXT infotainment unit along with navigation, Bluetooth and Smartphone integration, TATA HEXA comes loaded with amazing tech specs.
CONNECT NEXT App suits comprises of Tata smart remote & smart manual app, NaviMaps and the Juke-Car app.
And the iconic JBL system included a 320W amplifier, sub-woofer, one central speaker, 4 speakers in each door and tweeters. It was a classy experience (Read: On the wheels sound studio experience) and powerful too!
The Tata Hexa AT (Chrome Silver – Automatic) model is more convenient for driving in the city and the MT (Arizona Blue – Manual) model for driving at highways. It comes in six and seven-seater and the bookings start from 1st November.
POWER PACKED PERFORMANCE
The overall ride quality and vehicle handling are justifiable when compared to the specs and brand name. The 170+ km drive on Hexa passed effortlessly. Going through multiple terrains including icy blocks, water streams, mud pits, steep slopes and village road, Hexa was fantastic! This beast surpassed all the natural and man-made off roads.
https://vine.co/v/5dVLdTvaWjB
It has a superior engine that runs steadily even at higher speeds. The highly developed next-generation 2.2-litre VARICOR diesel engine has an added crossover for maintaining that excellence and delivering an output of 156 PS & 400 Nm of Max torque.
The vehicle comes with two gearbox configurations –
Automatic transmission: This makes it impressive to ride such a long, wide and huge vehicle or I may call it a beast. But it displays slower pickup which is acceptable at the end. Automatic transmission lacks an all-wheel-drive option and also the ESP (Electronic stability program) & traction control options.
Manual transmission: This features four different types of driving modes namely Auto, Comfort, Dynamic and Rough Road. These are handy when Tata Hexa would be driven on terrains.
Auto Mode Optimizes own performance adopting conditions irrespective of any surfaces.
Comfort Mode allows Hexa to deliver constant cruising speed along with precise power especially during those long drives.
Dynamic Mode To attain maximum power & acceleration, Dynamic mode is usable while driving on curvy roads or even while drifting. Dynamic mode exhibits the new generation ESP or the Electronic stability program.
Rough Road Mode The rough road mode further provides stability, performance and enhanced control in slippery conditions during the off-road drives.
All these modes were made much more interesting with new-generation
SAFETY ASSURANCE–
AIRBAGS
Ensuring the protection capabilities of any vehicle is an important aspect especially for the larger ones. Though no one wants to witness any incident or such a condition where the passenger safety is at risk yet if something happens, Hexa strengthens your security with six airbags – Driver, passenger, curtains and sides.
ANTI-SLIP EVEN ON ICE
The traction control system preventing excessive wheel slip was quite an impressive feature. This was tested by making sharp turns on the set ice blocks ensuring minimum slippage. After which the wheels were easily able to take the vehicle forward as ESP took over on those turns. The ice block track was set up in small distance for replicating ice-covered mountainous roads or snow.
PANIC BREAK AVAILABILITY
The brake test went equally interesting. Picking up a great speed and applying the sudden brake or taking off in the Rough Road mode and validating hard brake – Whoa! You end up stopping in a straight line instead of any major skidding.
ABS (Anti-locking Braking System) and the EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) systems deal really well with the panic brake situations or under any aggressive conditions.
UPHILL & DOWNHILL DRIVE
Put your seat belts on and get ready to go on a seamless drive. But you actually need to have good control over the vehicle to gain its fullest potential. It maintains a safe 8 KMPH speed when moving downhill and exercised only steering along the imitational path. And the uphill ride was also stable, without the fear of rolling down.
The Hill Hold control and the Hill Descent control got activated by just pressing a button.
CONVENIENCE FOR PASSENGERS–
As far as convenience Tata Hexa is one step ahead of its arch-rivals, it has an 8-way adjustable driver seat for a better driving position. Interestingly Flexi seat facility is also available for the second row. As addition second and third row has the multi-folding configuration which can provide you with an ample amount of 671 litres of space, which is slightly lesser than the Mahindra XUV 500. Apart from all these the most common things like automatic climate control, cruise control and intelligent rain-sensing wipers with 7-speed modes. Reverse parking and guidance systems are also pretty decent.
COMFORT & ENTERTAINMENT–
Eight-way adjustable seating for both short and tall people, legroom for rear seats providing enough cabin space and perfect ventilation sums up the options for Tata Hexa.
A dedicated Smartphone slot, cup-holder, personal storage space at every row and also USB charging points are some other added reassuring options. Entertainment comfort has been taken into consideration ensuring excellent experience. Playback via FM, USB and Aux facility, iPod connectivity, audio streaming, Bluetooth telephony, perfect navigation, on-screen SMS exhibition along with SMS readout & rearview camera display are multiple in-cabin features.
Hexa also allows you to choose from the available eight colours for ambient mood lighting along with illumination control & required customization.
What I noticed on the automatic model in the horizontal central console was the gear being attached with a black bezel. And on the manual model, the same comes with well-crafted leather.
DESIGNING TO DIE FOR –
Tata Hexa would definitely make anyone turn around with its mind-blowing and eye-catching features. It showcases premium exteriors and interiors accentuation an elite yet robust looks.
It comes with a dual-coloured bumper, highlighted with a chrome humanity line along with the Tata’s signature grille and the variant code and name.
Hexa exhibits the impressive 19-inch alloy wheels with stronger and muscular shoulder wheel arch claddings. It has a high ground clearance of 200mm and this makes another important and exciting aspect.
The alloy wheels are perfectly in line with the classic and simple 5-spoke wheels featuring a two-tone black with a polished shade. I also liked the Making Hexa more aggressive and manly, it also showcased a sloping roofline travelling up right from the front to the very end.
Less impressive tail lamps on the outside and more focused black sporty interior finish up the whole of the inside look with the high-quality Benecke – Kaliko leather.
Yet there aren’t any major visible differences in terms of Interiors as well as exteriors in both the transmissions. But its well-packed with the superior quality & design. Each one who got the opportunity to test the Tata Hexa felt wonderful after driving both the variants. There’s no lag when it came to performance. The pricing is expected to be somewhat between Rs. 11 to 15 lacs but the actual cost will be revealed in the month of January only.
Sources close to Twitter claim that the company is preparing for a new round of job cuts of up to 300 employees after shedding about 8% of its total workforce a year ago. This announcement may be done as soon as this week. Yet the plans for these cuts are in flux & are not set in stone. A Twitter spokesperson said that the company doesn’t comment on any of the rumors or speculations.
Timing of this leak comes to be really curious as Twitter will be delivering the Q3 earnings on Thursday at 7 a.m. E.T. of this week before markets open. And this will be done in prior instead of announcing the earnings after the markets close. The variation between the timings could be a clear connection to the rumored, upcoming layoffs.
The company presently finds itself where it was two months ago: Trading around 40% lower than this time last year as of Monday’s close. However, companies like Alphabet, Disney, Google & Salesforce indicated some interest in potential acquisitions but ended up stepping back.
And the company had reportedly hired bankers to explore a potential sale earlier this month. But each company that expressed its interest in bidding has backed out as the company turns into losses with a declining revenue growth.
The losses and reduced share price of Twitter make it much harder to pay even their employees with the stock. The situation has been made very difficult for Twitter to race for talent with its giant rivals like Google, Alphabet Inc, & Facebook.
CEO and Co-founder, Twitter, Jack Dorsey has also been highlighting its live video streaming ambitions. Yet it’s unclear how the company will still fare in the present competing and evolving space.
Twitter has scored live streaming deals with the Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Hockey League also the National Basketball Association. Twitter has also live streamed the Democratic & Republican National Conventions, individual sports events & financial news shows from Bloomberg News & Cheddar.

We thought only Samsung phones are exploding but iPhone proved us wrong when an Australian surfer’s brand new iPhone 7 burst into flames and destroyed his entire car. This person had kept his phone 7 under the pile of clothes suddenly the phone exploded and caught fire on the clothes which in turn destroyed his car.
He told Yahoo7News that he was not even using a charger from a third party which most of the time are a culprit for such explosion. He also said there is some internal problem with the phone that resulted in the explosion.
In the past, we have heard the explosion of iPhone, which means this, is not the first time it has ever happened. Even so, the company never took this as a serious issue like how Samsung is taking an initiative of customer safety in case of Galaxy Note 7.
When the explosion of Galaxy Note 7 took place one after the other and the number reached to 70, they immediately recalled all the phones for a replacement. Even the airlines banned this phone and celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan were troubled due to this. Despite the ones replaced were also catching fire in the new units that made Samsung depart its second half flagship from the market.
We have heard a lot in the past about the explosion of Chinese phones due to the low-quality material they use. The public is in a big turmoil to judge big brands like Samsung and iPhone as the safest brand. We hope iPhone understands the seriousness of its user’s health and raise some customer safety initiatives like how Samsung does it.
It has been a health concern for everyone now to think twice before buying any phone from the market and this may affect the market share of the respective brands.
