Spotify to allow users to post audio reactions to music playlists

Swedish music streaming platform Spotify is working on a new feature to let users post audio comments or reactions to music playlists. A Reddit user in Vietnam first spotted this Spotify experiment, reports The Verge. "So what do you think? Record an episode to share your thoughts on the playlist," read the interface. Below the notification is a record button to start the audio recording. There are also some simple editing options like being able to add background music and tags. The reaction feature seems to be accessible via a microphone icon on the playlist's page, the report noted. "We are currently running a limited test of in-app audio creation, but have no further details to share at this time," the company was quoted as saying. Spotify is also experimenting with letting users record and post podcasts directly from the app. The music streaming giant last week introduced a new design for the home screen of its mobile app that includes feeds for both Music and Podcasts and Shows. The company said the feature is currently rolling out to Android users and will soon be available on iOS. In the Music feed, listeners will have quick access to suggestions based on their music taste, making discovering new favourites easier than ever. There will also be album and playlist recommendations as well as buttons that make it easy to share, like, and instantly play music. In the Podcast and Shows feed, listeners will be able to head straight to new episodes of their favourite shows.

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...
