Consider this scenario: You just got a chat message via the Facebook Messenger mobile app from somebody you are not sure you have met before. Is this person that cute one from Accounting, or worse, a psycho?
Google has now added tweets to its search results on mobile, through the official Google mobile app on the Android and iOS operating systems, as well as on web browsers made for mobile devices. The tweet-including search results can be triggered by using the keyword "Twitter" especially when googling for specific Twitter accounts and hashtags. However, if you just use any standard search, surface tweets will also be taken into consideration when displaying search results.
Child advocacy groups are once again attacking Google's YouTube Kids mobile app for showing content that is not appropriate for children, and this time, they are adopting a more serious approach in airing their sentiments.
The Center for Digital Democracy (CDD) and the Campaign for Commercial Free Childhood (CCFC) are joining forces in writing a letter to the Federal Trade Commission. In the letter, both groups stressed that the YouTube Kids mobile app is actually rife with content that is not only inappropriate for children, but also potentially unsafe too.
It is no secret that Facebook wants its users to be on Facebook as much as possible. After all, this social media giant's business model has always been predicated on keeping its users engaged within its pages for as long as it can, and in the process, keeping itself happy (by generating review via advertising to Facebook users) and publishers and merchants, too.
A year ago during the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple introduced HomeKit, a protocol for connecting Apple devices to various third party smart home gadgets and accessories. But since that time, the tech giant has been rather quiet in discussing any HomeKit related stuff.
But just very recently, Apple revealed that HomeKit-enabled devices will arrive in stores beginning in June. This means that in a few weeks, users will finally get to experience first hand what the company's home tech connectivity protocol is really all about.
If you are one of those who think that the English language is doomed thanks to Internet acronyms (lol, smh), text speak, and even leet speak, now you have another new reason to lament the death of English as we know it -- emojis.
Obviously, we would much prefer getting updated with what is going on with a few select family members' and friends' lives than other Facebook friends out there. But sometimes this can be tricky especially when our News Feed is stuffed with posts from people we barely know, or worse, from Facebook accounts we barely even follow (or know we friended).
Twitter's direct messaging feature used to only work between users who follow each other. But now, the social media giant is expanding its chat service's capabilities to non-followers. This means that if you do not follow this user, you can still send a direct message to him or her, and vice versa.
The net neutrality rules set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has now been officially published in the Federal Register. It is now only a matter of time (60 days, to be exact) before it takes effect on June 12th of this year. Unless, of course, companies that oppose net neutrality take the FCC to court before the new rules take effect.
