The blocking of the micro-blogging site Twitter in China has not deterred people from the influential quarters to jump the firewall and other content restrictions and use the platform to reach out to the world, researchers from Harvard University report.

Twitter has announced that the company is launching a product and place pages that allows users to discover and purchase items within the service.

According to the Verge, the new pages will organize related tweets about products and brands on dedicated pages.

A product page will let people see others’ tweets about that product, prices, and, sometimes, a buy button.

The company is also rolling out what it’s calling Collections, a way for brands and celebrities to curate products and recommend them to followers.

This is the second new feature Twitter has unveiled this week after announcing Project Lightning, a news platform that would allow users to follow events instead of people.
