Soon You Will Be Saving Tweets For Later With A Twitter Bookmark Feature


Twitter is working upon the new feature "Bookmark", which will allows users to save the tweets for later. They can now save tweets privately in their profile.
Twitter is now on the testing stage for this new option. Soon it will be available on every user account.

Company's Staff product designer, 'Tina Koyama' tweeted about this new feature. It will be listed on the users' navigation menu.

She tweeted, "We went through all the designed flows and picked the ones that are the easiest to navigate to test out with our community". "You told us that you want tweets you’ve bookmarked to be private, so only you can see it. We kept this in mind while creating designs for the feature."

YouTube has abolished nearly 50,000 videos of radical islamist preacher Anwar al-awlaki ,who was killed in a drone strike in 2011.
Awlaki was known for preaching violence as a religious duty, although at the time of his death his family refused to accept him as a terrorist.
Awlaki posted many different types of videos on YouTube , some of them were clearly describing violence ,while others were the narration of Islam and its history.Most of the videos are believed to be removed from  the website.
If he were alive today, Awlaki would have been banned from owning a YouTube channel because he was named as a terrorist on UK and US government lists.
Anti-extremism groups lodged their first complaints about Awlaki's videos in 2009, but until last year it was still possible to find copies of his most explicitly violent material on YouTube.
A long series of complaints and reports from groups working to counter extremism detailed Awlaki's influence and called on YouTube to act.
Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens, from George Washington University's research programme on extremism, told the New York Times that YouTube "deserved credit" for removing the videos.

10 Android apps that help you save mobile internet data

In countries like India where internet connectivity is poor and people are more likely to own cheap budget smartphones, rich apps often lose out on providing the best experience to the users.so there are some apps that will help you out to get better experience of everything 

1)FACEBOOK LITE-

Facebook Lite was launched keeping developing nations with poor internet connectivity in mind. It is designed to be used on 2G networks and in areas with unstable and slow internet. The app itself takes up a lot less space, loads quickly and works on just about any phone. Most of the usual features are available. You can browse your timeline, like and comment on posts, update status and the likes. Facebook has also made available of reactions, geofilters and camera effects.

2)MESSENGER LITE-

Facebook launched the Lite app for Messenger just last month and it is already available in 120 countries. Once again, the app is designed for phones with limited memory and processing power and low bandwidth networks. Of course, it won’t have the augmented reality and the camera effects features yet. But it’s only a matter of time considering how fiercely Facebook is competing with Snapchat which many consider too intensive for third world markets.
3)SKYPE LITE-
Following Facebook’s trail, Microsoft also launched the lite version to the Skype app. In fact, the app was launched in India itself. Weighing at only 13MB, the app is created to work best on 2G networks and in areas with unstable connectivity. It can also run smoothly on old Android phones and uses less battery to work. What’s more, Microsoft has also integrated Aadhar identification as a way to securely identify users.



4)TWITTER  LITE-
Launched last month, Twitter Lite is a lightweight, stripped down version of the official Twitter app. It is Progressive Web App (PWA) and takes up less than 1MB of space in your phone and comes with a data saving mode that blurs pictures and videos unless you tap on them. Twitter has claimed the app can launch in less than five seconds in a 3G connection and save up to 70 per cent more data. You get almost all the features you are used to getting on the full version of the app. There is the timeline, notifications, search and direct messaging. However, you can’t start a live video from the app yet.

5)INSTAGRAM  LITE-
Instagram Lite is basically the mobile website of the app. In case you find the app too heavy for your phone, you can simply go to Instagram’s website using your phone’s web browser and do almost all that you have been on the app. Upload photos, like, browse and explore and even send and messages. But the sad part is you can’t use Instagram Stories from the webpage yet.

6)CAMERA 360  LITE-

Love taking beauty-filters infused selfies, but have an old, slow phone? Get onboard the Camera 360 Lite app. It takes less than 4MB of space and can launch and be ready for your photo session in a matter of few seconds.
7)OPERA MINI-
Chrome is notorious for its RAM use and the native browsers on most phones aren’t much different. This is where Opera, the legendary browser steps in to help. The Opera Mini app is a web browser for phones that not only takes up just 43MB of space as compared to the hundreds of megabytes that Chrome needs to operate, it also helps you save up on your data plan and provide easy downloads for music and movies from websites. There is also an in-built ad blocker, night mode, private browsing and tabbed browsing.

8)LINE  LITE-

Weighing less than a megabyte, Line’s Lite app lets you send and receive messages, photos and more on just about any Android phone. You can use Line IDs to add friends while those on your contact list are automatically synced. In addition, two-step verification process is also enabled.
