Efemr Lets You Set Tweets to Self-Destruct

Jared Moya — Sat, 18 May 2013 11:13:42 +0000

Control how long you want your tweets to be visible to the world at large. We sometimes forget that by using social networking sites we put tremendous amounts of information out there for anybody to see and collect. Taken individually the stuff we create is not always sensitive information, but over time, and taken as a whole, it cane be. Also, as we age and our lives change we don’t necessarily want past thoughts and observations to come back and haunt us. Stuff we thought was witty and cool to tweet about back in our teens will usually make us look downright foolish later on, especially to prospective employers or college admission deans.

Luckily, Apple allowed the app to remain in stores, and it seems that the company’s bold move might have paid off. Reports are circulating that Amazon has purchased the company for $26 million.

Jon Martindale — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:50:54 +0000

Twitter is set to launch a new music service some time this weekend, with many sources suggesting that in-fact today, Friday, could be the intended release day. The idea behind it is to tie in with the Coachella festival, perhaps using the event as a springboard for promotional purposes. We first head about the Twitter music app a month or so ago in an early profile, though it wasn’t clear whether this was a future plan for Twitter or if it already existed. Fortunately Ryan Seacrest was more than willing to spill the beans of the at-the-time not officially announced application.
