The company had six models in the top-ten best selling list as against just four in the same month last year.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor's multi purpose vehicle Innova Crysta has also found place in the list.

According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers Association (SIAM) MSI's Vitara Brezza occupied the tenth spot by selling 7,193 units in May, while the entry level model Alto continued to lead the best selling model chart with sale of 19,874 units.

MSI's compact sedan Dzire moved up to the second spot ahead of sibling Swift with sale of 14,413 units. Swift slipped to the fourth spot with sale of 12,355 units while Wagon R stood at third position with 13,231 units.

In the same month last year, Maruti had only four models in top 10 with Alto leading the pack followed by Swift, Dzire, and WagonR in second, third and fourth spots respectively.

In May, the premium hatchback Baleno stood at seventh spot with 10,004 units followed by hatchback Celerio at eighth position with 7,379 units.

Mahindra Bolero, Honda City and Hyundai Eon, which were there in the top ten list last year in May, did not make it to the top ten passenger vehicle list last month.

In the fast growing utility vehicle segment, only Bolero and Innova carried on from May last year. In May Innova stood first, followed by Maruti Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Creta and Mahindra KUV100 and Bolero rounding up the top five slots.

Models like Maruti Ertiga, Mahindra Scorpio and Ford EcoSport, which were there in the top five utility vehicles last May, failed to grab positions in the top five slots last month.

Twitter has hinted that it is planning a paid subscription platform that can be reused by other teams in the future.

The news that the micro-blogging platform is building a subscription platform with a team codenamed "Gryphon" resulted in Twitter stock rising over 8% on Wednesday.

Twitter revealed its plan via a job listing that seeks a full-stack senior software engineer in New York to join "Gryphon".

Interestingly, Twitter "edited" the job listing once the news broke, removing the part about "Gryphon" and any mention of their internal team or their subscription feature. The listing said the company is looking for an Android engineer to "work on a bevy of backend engineering teams to build components that allow for experimentation to deliver the best experience possible to all of our users".

Later, Twitter users noticed that the company restored the earlier job listing that mentioned the upcoming subscription platform and "Gryphon".

A spokesperson for Twitter told CNN on Wednesday that it's only a job posting, not a product announcement.

This is not the first time Twitter has thought of a paid product. 

In 2017, it sent out a survey to users and a preview of what a premium offering of its TweetDeck app might look like, including breaking news alerts and more analytics, according to The Verge.

"We're conducting this survey to assess the interest in a new, more enhanced version of Tweetdeck. We regularly conduct user research to gather feedback about people's Twitter experience and to better inform our product investment decisions, and we're exploring several ways to make TweetDeck even more valuable for professionals," a Twitter spokesperson had said at that time.

San Francisco, Mar 18: Facebook said a bug in its anti-spam system temporarily blocked the publication of links to news stories about the coronavirus. Guy Rosen, Facebook's vice president of integrity, said on Twitter Tuesday that the company was working on a fix for the problem.

Users complained that links to news stories about school closings and other information related to the virus outbreak were blocked by the company's automated system.

Later on Tuesday, Rosen tweeted that Facebook had restored all the incorrectly deleted posts, which also covered topics beyond the coronavirus.

Rosen said the problems were unrelated to any changes in Facebook's content-moderator workforce. The company reportedly sent its human moderators home this week because of the coronavirus outbreak.

A representative for Facebook did not immediately respond to questions on the status of Facebook's content moderators, many of whom do not work directly for the company and are not always able to work from home.
