Twitter will finally allow users to upload better quality videos onto the platform

Well, it looks like Twitter will finally be able to display videos that don’t look like they’ve been shot using a potato. The company stated that it is working on a feature that will help videos appear clearer and not as pixelated as it now is. It’s clear that the problem has been brewing for a long time now and Twitter is looking at doing something about it. The new feature will disable a step in the conversion process that splits the video up into smaller chunks thus rendering it much more pixelated. While the changes have not rolled out completely just yet, once you’ve received the feature, you will then be able to, theoretically, upload videos that don’t look like they’re from 1996. 

Some good news: we’ve made updates to improve video quality. Starting today, videos you upload to Twitter will appear less pixelated for a better watching experience. pic.twitter.com/lJPI14PVRV

Do note that Twitter has said that this feature will not apply to previously uploaded videos but will be available for newer video uploads. A lot of users have also reported that they have not noticed any changed in video quality in the past few days. Aside from all the ribbing, the video quality isn’t too bad but if it wants to compete with the bigs boys, it has to start playing the game. 

Twitter will now feature videos with better quality

Another feature that seems to be a much-requested one is the ability to edit a tweet. It would be nice to have the flexibility to edit out typos and mistakes in tweets instead of having to reply with the correction in the thread. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey had, however, confirmed once in the past that it may never happen because they don't want users to alter the tweets and opinions once they get amplified or critiqued. The uneditable nature of posts remains an integral aspect of the platform, according to him.

What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer

Many of us have come to heavily rely on Google Search and often don’t question the veracity of information Google cherry-picks from the vast data available on the world wide web for its search cards. This incident, which is one part funny and two parts scary, makes it clear that Google’s Knowlege Graph may not be as sacrosanct as you may have believed.  Hristo Georgiev was informed by a former colleague that a Google search of his name returned a Google Knowlege Graph that depicted his photo and linked it to a Bulgarian rapist and serial killer of the same name, also known as ‘The Sadist’, who murdered five people back in the 1970s and was later executed by shooting.  The graph linked the info to a Wikipedia article, which incidentally had no link to any of Georgiev’s profile or his image. It was Google’s algorithms that erroneously matched the two. What’s even more problematic is that Hristo Georgiev is not a unique name and is shared by hundreds of other people.  As...
