New York, Dec 11 (AP): Twitter is once again attempting to launch its premium service, a month after a previous attempt failed.

The social media company said on Saturday it would let users buy subscriptions to Twitter Blue to get a blue checkmark and access special features starting Monday.

The blue checkmark was originally given to companies, celebrities, government entities and journalists verified by the platform. Twitter Selling Espresso Machine, Office Bar Fridge, Other Kitchen Appliances and Furniture Online; Bids Start at $25
