This just made my day.
Twitter has taken the lead out of most of the social networking sites by introducing a nice feature which will make your Twitter-experience all the more secure. With this option, you can now permanently enable the HTTPS feature for your profile, thus effectively shielding your website from attacks.

HTTPS or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure allows you to send encrypted messages across the network. This effectively decreases the chance of somebody else hacking in to your site and playing with the data.
Now, Twitter has transferred most profiles into the secure category for quite some time but the new features enables you to permanently shift your profile in to the secured category.
How to Enable It?
Go to the “settings” tab of your Twitter profile and enable the “HTTPS only” feature. That’s it. You are done! (See the image above!)
Mobile users who access Twitter must make sure to log in via https://www.twitter.com rather than http://www.twitter.com for enabling the secure connection. Twitter will be soon updating its system by enabling this security feature for its mobile phone users as well.
Facebook should enable this security feature as soon as possible without which users are nothing else but sitting ducks!
