Activists and bloggers fear Twitter censorship (AP) Woods shoots 69, in contention in Abu Dhabi (AP)

This screen shot shows a portion of the Twitter blog post of Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012, in which the company announced it has refined its technology so it can censor messages on a country-by-country basis.
