Photo And Video Grid View For User Galleries Returns To Twitter.com

Twitter has started rolling out a grid view feature for user photo and video galleries on Twitter.com, and users can click the “View all photos and videos” on Profile pages to to view the media content of that user which will display in a grid.

Twitter Adds "Top Tweets" Ranking Filter To API To Help Developers Reduce Noise

Over on its official Developers Blog, Twitter has announced two new fields that will be added to the metadata that is contained within all tweets, allowing developers using Twitter’s API to better filter and improve the overall quality of the stream.

Twitter Introduces 'Welcome Back' Friends Feature To Encourage Inactive Users To Stay

Over at the AVC.com blog noted VC Fred Wilson has written about an interesting feature that he’s seen on his Twitter timeline this morning that encourages him to engage with a friend who has recently returned to Twitter after a period of inactivity.

This is an interesting development from Twitter who, like all the major social networks, continuously struggles with the problem of retention of users, and this prompt could play a significant role in keeping people interested. After all, who doesn’t like getting a “welcome back” message from a friend?

Twitter: The Land Of 140 Character Tweets . . . And Six-Second Videos?

Did you catch the quick video Twitter’s CEO shared on Twitter?

It’s a clip of someone making steak tartare in six seconds – using Vine (the video service Twitter acquired last October). Are six-second videos on the horizon for Twitter?

Twitter Makes Good On Promise, Begins Rollout Of Downloadable Tweets Archive

Back in September Twitter CEO Dick Costolo announced that all users would be able to download their tweets before the end of the year. He repeated that claim last month (much to the chagrin of some of his development team).

Good news: it appears that Costolo is making good on his promise as a “a very small percentage” of users are able to access a new archive feature on Twitter.com, and one of those lucky testers just might be you.
