Twitter Scraps Restrictive 140 Character Limit On Direct Messages

खुलकर करिए अपनी बात
अगर आप टि्वटर के डेली यूजर्स हैं, तो आपको एक बड़ा बदलाव नजर आएगा। डायरेक्‍ट मैसेज फीड में जहां पहले 140 कैरेक्‍टर की वर्ड लिमिट हुआ करती थी वहां अब 10,000 कैरेक्‍टर कर दिए गए हैं। यानी अब टि्वटर भी फेसबुक और व्‍हॉट्सएप की तरह यूजर्स को अपनी बात रखने का पूरा मौका देगा जिसमें कोई पाबंदी नहीं लगी होगी। यह फीचर्स ग्‍लोबली उतारा गया है, बताया जा रहा है कि टि्वटर सोशल मीडिया क्षेत्र में अपने अन्‍य कंप्‍टीटर्स को कड़ी टक्‍कर देने के लिए कैरेक्‍टर से समझौता कर रहा है।

फेसबुक से पीछे है टि्वटर
आपको बता दें कि सोशल मीडिया प्‍लेटफॉर्म में फेसबुक अभी भी टि्वटर से काफी आगे चल रहा है। ताजा आंकड़ों के मुताबिक, जहां टि्वटर के 300 मिलियन यूजर्स हैं वहीं फेसबुक 1.4 बिलियन के साथ काफी आगे खड़ा है। फिलहाल जब टि्वटर ने इतना बड़ा कदम उठाया है, तो यूजर्स को फायदा जरूर मिलेगा। वैसे कंपनी ने इस कैरेक्‍टर लिमिट को खत्‍म करने का एनाउंसमेंट 2 महीने पहले ही कर दिया था। लेकिन इसे रोल आउट नहीं किया था। See more - http://inextlive.jagran.com/twitter-scraps-restrictive-140-character-limit-on-direct-messages-201508130009

Twitter out to crack down on abusive tweets

Tech News - Twitter is overhauling its safety policy and beefing up the team responsible for enforcing it, along with investing "heavily" in ways to detect and limit the reach of abusive content, general counsel Vijaya Gadde said in an column published by the Washington Post.

"We need to do a better job combating abuse without chilling or silencing speech," Gadde said. Twitter last month modified its rules to ban 'revenge porn' -- the tweeting of intimate or revealing pictures or video of people without their permission.

The San Francisco-based micro-blogging site is also taking steps to curtail the use of anonymously created Twitter accounts to intimidate or silence targeted people.

"We are changing our approach to this problem, in some ways that won't be readily apparent and in others that will be," Gadde said.

Twitter has tripled the size of the team responsible for protecting users of the service, resulting in a five-fold increase in the speed of response to complaints, according to the general counsel.

"We are also overhauling our safety policies to give our teams a better framework from which to protect vulnerable users," Gadde said.

Twitter to track apps on your smartphone

"To help build a more personal Twitter experience for you, we are collecting and occasionally updating the list of apps installed on your mobile device so we can deliver tailored content that you might be interested in," explained a post on Twitter website.

The company wants to use the 'app graph' to give more tailored content, give suggestions on whom to follow plus add tweets and other content to your timeline.

"We are only collecting the list of applications you have installed. We are not collecting any data within the applications," the post clarifies.

Recently, Twitter had started showing tweets from users people didn't follow, using an algorithm to identify likely favourites.

The website also recommends whom to follow based on people in a user's network. Now knowing which apps its users have gives more information to work upon.

Users have the option to stop the data collection at any time from their phone settings.
