Twitter brings the Voice Tweets on iOS Devices

Twitter is where people go to talk about what’s happening using texts, photos, videos, and gifs.  But sometimes 280 characters aren’t enough and some conversational nuances are lost in translation. So starting today, Twitter is testing a new feature that will add a more human touch to the way people use Twitter – through their voices.<br /> <br /> Tweeting with voice is not too different from Tweeting with text. To start, people can open the Tweet composer and tap the new icon with wavelengths. They’ll see their profile photo with the record button at the bottom – they can then tap this to record their voice. <br /> <br /> Each voice Tweet captures up to 140 seconds of audio. Once the time limit for a Tweet is reached, a new voice Tweet starts automatically to create a thread. Once done, people can tap the ‘Done’ button to end their recording and go back to the composer screen to Tweet.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2020/06/twitter-voice-tweets.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Voice Tweets" border="0" data-original-height="501" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicl6cVkF2P1n2ix62FLYR4lxsQeAiH0Vi8K-IOQMUN26dFPEA1Nc7sK6bTWKbbkxUqDdLQP7vq2lBRzOnxidkE1OVOKKGcu1ZWF5EPY5xEvrXwba57799WBAzKn9staD05AxbJg9JjfH_u/s1600/twitter-voice-tweets.jpg" title="Voice Tweets" /></a></div><br /> <b>Voice Tweets</b> will appear on timelines alongside other Tweets. To listen, people can tap the image. On iOS only, playback will start in a new window docked at the bottom of the timeline and people can listen as they scroll. People can also keep listening while doing other things on their phone or on the go.<br /> <br /> <b>Creating voice Tweets</b> will be available to a limited group of people on Twitter for iOS, however in the coming weeks everyone on iOS should be able to Tweet with their voice. People will be able to see (hear) them and reply.<br /> <br /> There’s a lot that can be left unsaid or uninterpreted using text, so Twitter hopes that voice Tweeting will create a more human experience for listeners and storytellers alike. Twitter hopes voice Tweeting gives people the ability to share their perspectives quickly and easily with their voice. <br /> <br />

Twitter ask User Inputs for New Rule to Fight Synthetic and Manipulated Media

When people come to <b>Twitter</b> to see what’s happening in the world, Twitter wants them to have context about the content they’re seeing and engaging with. Deliberate attempts to mislead or confuse people through manipulated media undermine the integrity of the conversation.<br /> <br /> That’s why Twitter recently announced its plan to seek public input on a new rule to address synthetic and manipulated media. Twitter has proposed defining synthetic and manipulated media as any photo, audio, or video that has been significantly altered or fabricated in a way that intends to mislead people or changes its original meaning. These are sometimes referred to as deepfakes or shallowfakes.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBjXdsqJ5iOC8tgah2ITPSrA9JNeN_JRULpjr_8BCmAEuDNdJWgkNeOXfJaciRCr6XgDPo5wF4LCL1QzH-k3ctaAgQ2M9QmaCn75ZlZs3J7BjxVSV74CNiLK4egqNYlH7mDXV4C-Cg8u_u/s1600/twitter-against-fake-news.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Twitter Against Synthetic and Manipulated Media" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBjXdsqJ5iOC8tgah2ITPSrA9JNeN_JRULpjr_8BCmAEuDNdJWgkNeOXfJaciRCr6XgDPo5wF4LCL1QzH-k3ctaAgQ2M9QmaCn75ZlZs3J7BjxVSV74CNiLK4egqNYlH7mDXV4C-Cg8u_u/s1600/twitter-against-fake-news.png" title="Twitter Against Synthetic and Manipulated Media" width="378" /></a></div><br /> These are few actions that Twitter will take when it sees synthetic and manipulated media that purposely tries to mislead or confuse people:<br /> <br /> - Place a notice next to Tweets that share synthetic or manipulated media;<br /> warn people before they share or like Tweets with synthetic or manipulated media; or<br /> add a link – for example, to a news article or Twitter Moment – so that people can read more about why various sources believe the media is synthetic or manipulated.<br /> <br /> - If a Tweet including synthetic or manipulated media is misleading and could threaten someone's physical safety or lead to other serious harm, Twitter may remove it.<br /> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block; text-align:center;" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-2914712351119115" data-ad-slot="6092184843"></ins><br /> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> Below is the link of a  brief Twitter survey which is available in Arabic, English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese.  For those who prefer to Tweet their feedback, Twitter will be listening to Tweets that use the hashtag <b>#TwitterPolicyFeedback</b>.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://survey.twitterfeedback.com/survey/selfserve/53b/191016?list=3&co=BLOG#?" target="_blank">Twitter Survey for Fake News and Media</a><br /> <br /> Additionally, if an organization would like to partner with Twitter to develop solutions to detect synthetic and manipulated media, it can fill out the form by visiting the below link<br /> <br /> <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdfulxKBUmYfgLqK5p2BgtH01tBaSRD870YwfLeABMZW7deww/viewform" target="_blank">Partnerships Against Synthetic and Manipulated Media</a><br /> <br /> The feedback period will close on Thursday, Nov. 28 at 2:59 a.m. KSA. At that point, Twitter will review the input it has received, make adjustments, and begin the process of incorporating the policy into the Twitter Rules as well as training its enforcement teams on how to handle this content.

HOW TO : Delete All Twitter Tweets, ReTweets and Hashtags in One Click

Twitter is one of the busiest social network with receiving thousands of tweets every second. If you are an active Twitter user you should be tweeting tens of tweets everyday for sure. I am having an average of 42 tweets per day on my Twitter account @shaanhaider and I have tweeted more than 76.5K so far which is really huge I think.<br /> <br /> So if you are a <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/09/four-levels-of-twitter-user-infographic.html" target="_blank">heavy Twitter user</a> then, chances are that someday you would like to clean up your Twitter profile and delete some or all of the tweets for whatever reason.

You also need to attract those all important followers to fully <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/12/optimize-twitter-profile-tweets.html" target="_blank">take advantage of the power of Twitter</a>.<br /> <br /> Thanks to WhoIsWhostingThis.com, <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/03/know-who-unfollowed-you-on-twitter.html" target="_blank">finding these Twitter followers</a> is easy! The infographic below shows how you can <b>double your Twitter followers</b> by spending just a couple of minutes each day maintaining your account.

However, the key to gaining more followers lies is how you interact with them.<br /> <br /> Like all social media, <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2014/05/twitter-hashtags.html" target="_blank">Twitter thrives on building relationships</a>. Tweets should not feel like broadcasting announcements, rather they should be conversational, encouraging people to respond. When you <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2012/08/stop-writing-blog-posts-for-keywords.html" target="_blank">put out quality content</a> that your followers relate to instead of self-promotion you are more likely to <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/08/top-5-ways-to-get-retweets-on-twitter.html" target="_blank">get Re-Tweets and follows</a>. <br /> <br /> It is also important to spend some time promoting your Twitter account. If your user name is simple and memorable this is easy to do. Why not add your Twitter handle to your business cards and promotional material. If you have a store, get custom decals for the window encouraging customers to follow you on Twitter. You can even talk to people you meet and instead of agreeing to find each other on Facebook, you should ask to connect on Twitter.<br /> <br /> These are just a few of the way you can <b>boost your Twitter following</b>.

Top 10 Twitter Clients for Android Smartphone

I don't know, one of the many reasons why we buy an <b><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/search/label/Android">Android smartphone</a></b> is because we can keep in touch with our <b>Twitter</b> and <b><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/04/10-types-of-facebook-friends-from.html">Facebook friends</a></b>, i know i do!<br /> <br /> Currently there being a load of <b>Twitter clients</b> available on the <b>Google Play Store</b> it becomes difficult for a newbie to choose which of the Twitter client for android suits his device the best, so here i bring to you the <b>10 best Twitter clients for Android</b>.<br /> <br /> <h2>10 Best Twitter Clients for Android Smartphone</h2><br /> <h3>1. Tweetcaster Pro for Twitter</h3><br /> <img alt="10 Best Twitter Clients For Android - Tweetcaster Pro" src="https://lh3.ggpht.com/ul3T7M8H8TRnNpqoBzOVymZXCFtfWYP7LluOeugLv_fJ0Le0jTi9RidLNDO3HcZImQ" /><br /> <br /> This is an ultimate Twitter client and is used by many because of its really cool UI plus its many features which makes tweeting a lot more easy and fun. Its interface is very nice and clean, probably the best out there, and you also get many themes to choose from. This app is so popular that it has also been reviewed by the guys at CNET.<br /> <br /> Some of the features in this app are <b>Speak to Tweet</b>,<b> manage multiple Twitter accounts, post to twitter and Facebook simultaneously, schedule your tweets</b>, read it later service, Twitlonger service to <b><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2010/10/12-ways-to-tweet-more-than-140.html">tweet long tweets</a></b>, and Smartlists.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>2. Ubersocial for Twitter</h3><b> Ubersocial</b> is another Twitter client which also has a balanced featureset offering a savvy UI for its users and also giving you access to tweeting elements which you will not get in any other Twitter client.<br /> <br /> The highlights of this app are inner circles which is similar to <b>Smartlists</b> found in <b>Tweetcaster,</b> mute users and certain hashtags, <b><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/08/update-google-plus-twitter-facebook.html">cross posting to Facebook and Twitter</a></b>, customize menus (in short make your own ubermenu), livepreview which is a small browser built into the app so that you can view links, photos and videos without leaving the app, shrink links, tweet longer, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>3. Plume Premium for Twitter aka Touiteur</h3><b> Plume</b> is a very simple Twitter client and very fast too. It was first known as <b>Touiteur</b> but was later changed to <b>Plume.</b> I currently use <b>Plume Premium</b> because it is quite quick in pulling tweets and as i have a quite poor data connection, it becomes the perfect app for me. The UI is very gorgeous and you also get the option to colorize tweets from different users so the app looks very colorful.<br /> <br /> Plume also has many other features (and rather even more), you would look for in a Twitter client such as internal browser, mute users, manage multiple accounts, pull to refresh, autocomplete usernames, swipe to scroll, bit.ly support to tweet longer, geotagging feature, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>4. Seesmic</h3> <br /> <img alt="10 Best Twitter Clients For Android - Seesmic" src="https://lh6.ggpht.com/W-oik5PdcknDAfIeUVtBDJt2455jH9EVD9qKItRSVUyF6tCR-ykKBWtrUjHM1H5vpA" /><br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Seesmic</b> offers you to<b> manage both Twitter and Facebook accounts simultaneously</b>, if you are a pro user, you will find this app very helpful. It has a very cute UI (red and white), and I really like the koala bear icon. You can see both your Twitter feed and Facebook feed, and simultaneously manage both the accounts. Add a status on Facebook or tweet on Twitter, Seesmic handles the tasks really well without being a memory hogger.<br /> <br /> In addition you also get the advanced tweeting features such as tweet longer service, url shortener, share photos and videos, preview pics, autocomplete usernames, geotagging and retweet with comment.<br /> <br /> Another unique feature about this app is you can directly create a shortcut on your homescreen to jump to a specific tab such you can create a shortcut to a Twitter list, Facebook page, etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8qqY43_l0go" width="560"></iframe><br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>5. TweetDeck</h3><b> Tweetdeck</b> manages more than your Twitter and Facebook accounts, you can also handle <b>Google Buzz </b>and <b>Foursquare </b>account. There is no other Twitter client which gives you such flexibility in managing your Columns like Tweetdeck does. You can add, delete, move any column you want very easily. The refresh feature on Tweetdeck needs a little tuning but apart from that it is a full featured Twitter and Facebook app.<br /> <br /> Geotagging, adding pictures to tweets, awesome UI, and widget support is what makes Tweetdeck really stand out of the crowd.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>6. HootSuite</h3><b> Hootsuite </b>also allows you to control multiple social networks, namely Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Foursquare. This is also a very neat social client, perhaps recommended if you are a social media person and a power user who needs to manage multiple accounts from a single app.<br /> <br /> You can schedule your tweets, receive notifications and <b>access your Twitter stats</b> such as total clicks and impressions on a tweet, and swipe to scroll are other major features of this app.<br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Also Check : <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2010/10/twitter-wap-clients-complete-list.html">Twitter Wap Clients : A Complete List</a></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>7. Twidroyd</h3><br /> <br /> <img alt="10 Best Twitter Clients For Android - TWIDROYD" src="https://lh6.ggpht.com/trtCRcP_OkNAMQHPiFsWfFT9K42pu1qADL3pD9kkpSKXFLTpx5kXoP0R_YpN9tPHfA" /><br /> <br /> <br /> Average in looks but powerful in features. <b>Twidroyd</b> is popular among many, and this Twitter client gives you all the necessary functions for tweeting. Tweet longer, URL shortener, <b>manage multiple Twitter accounts</b>, Twitter trends, smart lists, preview pics are some of the highlights of this app.<br /> <br /> Wait a minute, and best of all no ads, that's right and its completely free as well. There are very few apps these days which have no ads but still are free, perhaps we should thank such developers, shouldn't we?<br /> <br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zRTEZMCUB8g" width="560"></iframe><br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>8. Twicca</h3><b> Twicca</b> is yet another <b>Twitter client for Android</b>. Sleek UI, advanced features and the option to install feature specific plugins. Twicca is nearly the complete Twitter client you could get. It has numerous features and plugins for Twicca are available on the fly. Some of the many plugins include <b>Twitpic</b> plugin for Twicca, translate plugin, highlight to search plugin, draft plugin, etc.<br /> <br /> Its easy, you decide which functionality you want in your Twitter client and trash the rest. Only con is, it is a little bit slow on pulling tweets, apart from that i would personally recommend this app for you.<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>9. Twitter</h3>How can we forget the <b>official Twitter client for Android</b>? Real time notifications, retweet with comment, trending topics and twitter's very own UI, what more could you want? Regarded as certainly the best client for an average Twitter user this app is hard to resist.<br /> <br /> But there are a few other cons as well, no twitlonger service, no scheduler or url shortener and many other features are missing in this app. So its really upto you to decide if you want additional tweeting features or are satisfied with the features the <b>official Twitter app</b> has to offer you!<br /> <br /> <br /> <h3>10. Dabr</h3>I heard about this app from one of my friend. Ok in the UI, not that great but leaves a very small memory footprint. This app is for users who just want the simple tweeting features and nothing else. <b>Dabr</b> is fast and very basic, limited features and a very light app, just 108kb in size.<br /> <br /> I guess its upto you to decide which <b>Twitter client</b> is best for your tastes, a balance of UI and features then I would say to go for <b>Tweetcaster, Ubersocial</b> or <b>Plume</b>. If you want to <b>manage multiple social accounts </b>then go for <b>Seesmic, Tweetdeck </b>or <b>Hootsuite </b>and if you want access to extraneous set of tweeting features then I had to say <b>Twidroyd</b> or <b>Twicca.</b><br /> <br /> If you are an average tweeter, who wants simple and basic level features then better go for <b>Twitter </b>or <b>Dabr.</b><br /> <br /> Hope this article was useful to you. Please make your comments as your personal opinions are very valuable to us.
