Twitter zählt Links und Fotos nicht mehr als Zeichen | #SocialMedia | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

From www.com-magazin.de - May 17, 2016 6:05 AM

Gust MEES's insight:

Twitter will in Zukunft Links und Fotos nicht mehr in das 140-Zeichen-Limit seiner Tweets einrechnen. Die Änderungen sollen bereits in den kommenden zwei Wochen eingeführt werden.

Mehr Platz zum Tweeten: Links und Fotos sollen künftig nicht zum 140-Zeichen-Limit des Dienstes gezählt werden.
(Quelle: Twitter )

Die 140-Zeichen-Begrenzung von Twitter ist für deutsche Nutzer schon immer schwierig gewesen: Bei langen Wörtern und viel Mitteilungsbedürfnis frustrierte die erzwungene Kürze - und das erst recht, wenn auch noch Links oder Fotos im geplanten Text dabei waren. Denn diese wurden ebenfalls in die Berechnung der Tweet-Länge einbezogen. Doch nun soll den Nutzern mehr Freiheit bei der Tweet-Erstellung gegönnt werden.

Auch für die von Twitter automatisch gekürzten Links fallen derzeit noch immer mit 23 Zeichen an - doch schon innerhalb der nächsten zwei Wochen will das Unternehmen Links und Fotos nicht mehr als Teil der 140 Zeichen eines Tweets zählen, so Bloomberg. Stattdessen wolle man den Nutzern mehr Flexibilität bieten. Das dürfte auch kommerziellen Nutzern gefallen, die so mehr Botschaft im Tweet unterbringen können.

7 Online Tools for Creating Charts & Diagrams | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

From www.freetech4teachers.com - February 11, 2015 11:13 AM

Gust MEES's insight:

Lucidchart is an easy tool to use to create flowcharts, mindmaps, and graphic organizers. Lucidchart offers a simple drag and drop interface for creating flow charts, organizational charts, mind maps, and other types of diagrams. To create with Lucidchart just select elements from the menus and drag them to the canvas. You can re-size any element and type text within elements on your chart. Arrows and connecting lines can be re-sized, repositioned, and labeled to bring clarity to your diagrams.

Like Twitter But Hate the Trolls? Try Mastodon | #SocialMedia #ICT | BUT #Awareness about #CyberSecurity | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

From www.wired.com - April 25, 2017 6:03 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

Twitter’s been combatting harassment for years. The latest effort: quelling its horde of anonymous, hostile egg accounts. But for many users, Twitter’s abuse problem has long since undermined its value as a platform for creative communication. That’s what makes Mastodon—a free, open-source, and increasingly popular six-month-old Twitter alternative—so intriguing.

Mastodon has created a diverse yet welcoming online environment by doing exactly what Twitter won’t: letting its community make the rules. The platform consists of various user-created networks, called instances, each of which determines its own laws. One instance could ban sexist jokes and Nazi logos, while another might practice radically free speech. (In this way, Mastodon is not unlike a network of discretely moderated message boards crossed with a Tweetdeck-like interface.) Users choose for themselves which instance they want to join and select from a host of privacy and anti-harassment settings.

Oh, and the character limit is 500, not 140. In essence, Mastodon is an experiment in whether individually moderated communities can make a social network like Twitter more civil.

Twitter Is Adding New Filtering Tools in an Effort to Curb Abuse | #SocialMedia | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

From www.wired.com - November 15, 2016 5:48 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

Twitter hopes to curb harassment once and for all by giving users the ability to filter keywords and hashtags...

OVER THE NEXT few days, Twitter will add new features intended to help curb abuse on the platform. Users will be able filter out certain keywords, phrases, user names, and hashtags in their mentions, Twitter says. You’ll also have the option to mute threads. The company is also revamping its abuse reporting system so that bystanders can report harassment and hate speech directly rather than leaving that option solely to the person on the receiving end.

And it’s about time.

Thought your private phone photos weren’t on Facebook? Think again… | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

From nakedsecurity.sophos.com - March 20, 2015 9:48 AM

Gust MEES's insight:

This time, the problem was one of confidentiality, not availability.

Simply put, he found that, if you had Facebook's Photo Sync feature turned on, then any app with permission to access photos on your phone could access your synced photos, too.

Photo Sync means that whenever you take photos with your phone (and that includes screenshots, by the way), Facebook's app automatically uploads them to Facebook's cloud in case you want to publish them online later.

We can't think why that's a good idea, but many people seem to find the feature useful because:

You get an automatic backup of every photo.
Uploaded photos are private by default, so they aren't visible to other people until you want them to be.
It makes it convenient to share photos later on.
Laxman's bug was the fact that apps other than Facebook's own could read those synced photos back from the cloud.

Obviously, if you've authorised an app to access the photos on your device, you have already accepted the risk of allowing that app to do unsavoury things with private snapshots you might take.

So this is not an earth-moving bug, but it's definitely a security hole.
