0After years of leaving photos and videos to third-party services like Twitpic and Yfrog, Twitter has finally launched its own version.“A native photosharing experience will be rolled out to 100% of users over the next couple of weeks,”
The service means that photos and videos will be directly connected to tweets. They will be viewable on Twitter.com without having to leave the site. Twitter will also “surface the most popular videos and tweets” in a new section of the homepage.
If you click on any #Hashtag than the search result will appear & if you look at the right side of the page you’ll be seeing the new features of Twitter, Twitter Photo & Video Sharing.

Millions of people share photos on Twitter every day. We’re going to make that easier than ever. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be releasing a feature to upload a photo and attach it to your Tweet right from Twitter.com. And of course, you’ll soon be able to easily do this from all of our official mobile apps. A special thanks to our partner Photobucket for hosting these photos behind the scenes.
For users without smartphones, we’re working with mobile carriers around the world so you can also send photos via text message (MMS). Share what’s happening in your world, anywhere you are.
We’re really excited about our new search and photos experiences and can’t wait for you to try them. We believe both make a huge difference in making the world feel even smaller.

One good search can take you #anywhere.
Today we’re starting to roll out a completely new version of Twitter search. Not only will it deliver more relevant Tweets when you search for something or click on a trending topic, but it will also show you related photos and videos, right there on the results page. It’s never been easier to get a sense of what’s happening right now, wherever your curiosity takes you.
And if you use this new version of Firefox with Twitter, you can type a #hashtag or @username directly into the address bar to go right to a search results page (try #idol) or someone’s profile page (like @nba). Simple.

Is Social Media Ruining Students? [Infographic]
01 year ago
What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘Social Media’? Few might have got the idea, but for those who are still wondering, here you are: One single word, apart from the grammatical errors, The Facebook!
We are surely living in a Facebook integrated life where from the kid who hardly learns to make sentences to the other extreme who hardly are able to hear the sentences, yes the old ones, are connected. Along with Facebook, Twitter has also played it’s role. Both the platforms can easily be termed as The Social Media, with others in the list as well but at minor level, compared to them.
Apart from the other ethical issues, Facebook, with the history of “Built for Students” and other social media are really effective for the students? The alarming question, “Is social media ruining students?”
On an open note, deeper the students venture into social networks, the greater the risks. It’s hardly a shock to learn that the more students uses Facebook, the more their grades tend to drop. At the same time, the public platform of social networks will see some personalities thrive in healthy attention, while others may become depressed or arrogant.
We are not going to decide here, whether to leave Facebook or not, but just have a slight idea on how can you manage between the studies and the facebook.
Following infographic clearly reveals how grades are shifted from one extreme to the other. Comments are welcomed, what you think about the issue.

How to Block tweets by a specific person or tweets under a #Hashtag?
1Everyone you follow on Twitter talks about a few things that you care about and a ton that you don’t. You don’t want to miss out but don’t have time to read everything.
“Slipstream” helps you hide what you don’t care about so you can read what’s relevant. It works seamlessly on top of Twitter.com via a simple button at the end of every tweet: “Hi de”.
Let’s make Twitter relevant, just for you.
Lets make it simple… You follow a couple of people on Twitter who are big fans of cricket and thus, whenever there’s a game happening anywhere in the world, your Twitter timeline gets flooded with tweets that are of least interest to you.
That’s just one example but there are plenty of other sources that add noise to your Twitter timeline – some people may be broadcasting their location through Foursquare, iPhone users do the same with Instagram pictures and then there’s the Royal Wedding happening that may have completely hijacked your Twitter feed.
Don’t you sometimes wish there were a mute button on Twitter that would let you temporarily block people from your timeline without having to unfollow them?
Some Twitter apps – Tweetdeck for example – do offer simple text filters (you can access them from settings) to help you hide tweets that either contain certain words, match an #hashtag or have been written by particular people.
However if you are not using any app but the regular Twitter.com website, you should check out Slipstream – a super useful extension for Google Chrome that cleans up your Twitter timeline automatically as you like.
It work this like. You’ll find a new hide link next to all tweets – you just have to click this link to define a new filter which may be something like hide tweets that contain the word #FF. Save the filter and you’ll never see another Follow Friday tweet in your timeline again.
Alternatively, you may also leave the text criteria blank and that will hide all future tweets from that particular user (just like the Mute button you were looking for). You can always disable / delete existing filters from the options menu. Simple!
Try Slipstream on Google Chrome (For now it’s only available for Chrome, Not for Firefox)

Twitter officially kills the #Dickbar (Quickbar)
11 year ago
in Twitter

If you’re a regular Twitter user and use the official application for the iPhone or iPad, you’ll know that the latest update promotes advertisements on top of your feed. The annoying new feature was called the Quickbar, or known around the Internet as the Dickbar.
The very controversial Dickbar was meant for users to better connect with their followers, allowing users to see what their latest trends were and to help Twitter advertise promotional tweets. However, after much debate, Twitter has opted to remove the Dickbar, rather than make changes to it.
The company posted a blog post on Thursday to alert iPhone and iPad users that the bar will be removed in the next Twitter update, which should appear in the App Store later today.
“Rather than continue to make changes to the QuickBar as it exists, we removed the bar from the update appearing in the App Store today. We believe there are still significant benefits to increasing awareness of what’s happening outside the home timeline. Evidence of the incredibly high usage metrics for the QuickBar support this. For now, we’re going back to the drawing board to explore the best possible experience for in-app notification and discovery.”
Twitter users can now rejoice that their iPhone and iPad app will no longer slip promotional advertisements into your stream.
