YouTube has received an ever so minor redesign. When I kicked back with a few videos this morning (is there a better way to start the day?) I noticed the information pane underneath the video had been tweaked slightly. If memory serves, the Add To, Share and More buttons weren't tucked quite so far towards the left-hand side of the page.
Spotify, now with 40 million users, looks like it's adding another new feature that it hopes will help get the long tail of those registered music listeners more active on its platform. A tab has appeared called "Tastemakers" - a list of people whose names may not at all be familiar to you, but who have achieved some kind of popularity already on Spotify for their music playlists.
Takie rzeczy tylko w bajkach? Dzięki twórcom usługi Pushbullet na szczęście nie. Od teraz możemy kopiować linki, wypowiedzi, kody i wszystko co tylko dusza zapragnie, a następnie wklejać je na drugim urządzeniu. Przy czym nie ma znaczenia, czy jest to desktop, smartfon czy tablet - schowek działa w obie strony.
Dla użytkowników urządzeń z systemem iOS to normalne, ale posiadacze sprzętu z Androidem mogą zostać zaskoczeni. Do tej pory linki zamieszczone na Facebooku i klikane z pozycji aplikacji Facebooka otwierane były w domyślnej przeglądarce. Teraz Facebook testuje wprowadzenie własnej, wbudowanej przeglądarki, dokładnie takiej, jak w wersji dla iPada i iPhone'a.
Back in March this year, WeTransfer launched its app for iOS devices, thereby allowing people to send files of up to 10GB for free without the need for any sort of registration. Now, the app is available for Android devices too.
All good things must come to an end and SoundCloud's ad-free existence is one of them. The popular music- and podcast-sharing platform is today launching an ad-supported On SoundCloud program to enable creators to monetize the audio they post to it.
SlideShare, the LinkedIn-owned site that lets you upload and distribute presentations online, is turning over a new leaf today. The service, which has 60 million users, is going free. In tandem with that, SlideShare is dropping its PRO tiers, once priced at $19/month and $49/month, and making extra features like analytics, which used to come at a price, free for all.
In a quiet move that could mean double the pleasure for advertisers and double trouble in terms of users' perceptions of Facebook, the social network told ad agencies in an email earlier this month that brands can now serve two ads per day to the News Feeds of users who have not liked their pages, up from one.
Vine is granting the wishes of every star and amateur on its platform by allowing users to import existing videos. The absence of this feature on Vine, until now, resulted in some opting for Instagram instead; the platform lets you upload 15-second videos, as opposed to Vine's six seconds that you couldn't pull from elsewhere.
Twitter is back in experimental mode, but its latest test is annoying people. A sizable number of users are seeing tweets favorited by others in their timeline, just like retweets. They are also getting notifications when others follow someone new.
dropping the ability to listen to tagged tracks on Spotify in the UK and other countries, Shazam has re-added the service to its free app in most locales. The original issue came about thanks to a deal with Deezer, which replaced Spotify in in Germany, Mexico, the UK and Brazil (the premium paid app always worked).
Streaming music service Spotify has today announced a deal with BandPage that will allow artists to sell their music directly to listeners via the platform. Announced today, the move may well be designed to help alleviate criticisms over the royalty rates musicians are paid when someone listens to their music on Spotify.
Facebook continues to make strides in becoming the " cross-platform platform," as today the company announced a way to track performance of advertising across devices. This will enable advertisers to see how people are balancing desktop, mobile and tablet before they make a conversion.
Until now, Twitter had reserved its analytics services for businesses having an advertising spend. However, today, this situation belongs to the past, as the social network decided to give access to its analytics platform to all of its users.
Feedly to najpopularniejszy czytnik RSS, który przejął schedę po nieodżałowanym Google Readerze. Podobnie jak usługa gigant z Mountain View, feedly nie tylko pozwala na czytanie newsów, ale też jest silnikiem napędzającym inne aplikacje. Kolejne dodatki do oficjalnej webowej wersji usługi, takie jak nowy Silder, sprawiają jednak, że korzystanie z jakichkolwiek zamienników powoli przestaje być konieczne.
