X could turn profitable next year, reveals CEO Linda Yaccarino

[ad_1] Over the last 12 months, X (formerly Twitter) has undergone a multitude of changes.

Amid Twitter rebranding chaos, Threads rolls out a massive update on Android

[ad_1] At a time when Elon Musk is busy driving Twitter's rebranding to X, the Instagram-powered Threads has quietly rolled out one of the biggest Android updates so far.

Before the addition of this feature, Threads only showed new posts on its original algorithmic feed that had a combination of posts from accounts that you follow and the account the algorithm believes you would be...

As users flee Twitter after hitting ‘limit’, Bluesky witnesses ‘record traffic’

[ad_1] Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter, the social media platform has suffered hits from his rather erratic decision-making - some good, some great, and some downright ugly. Right after taking the seat as the CEO of the company, he began a massive layoff that saw people working with the company for years being let go. Later, he introduced the Twitter Blue subscription, adding the blue tick as a part of the package, something that has been given to people of repute to distinguish them from fake accounts. While Musk is no longer the CEO after appointing Linda Yaccarino and taking the Chairman and CTO role, he is still making decisions - questionable ones. On Saturday, he announced a tweet view limit for all users, causing panic among the user base. Soon, many flocked to the Jack Do...
