The San Francisco company says the new design emphasizes simplicity, making it faster and easier to use, with bolder headlines and more intuitive icons. It also changed users’ profile images from square-shaped to round. The company said the new user interface will roll out on twitter.com, Twitter for iOS, Twitter for…

Published on October 3, 2016 in Apolitical/Top Headlines by Guest Author

Who remembers the short-lived site, Friendster? Six years ago I was asked to sit on a panel at a conference to give “expert advice” on social media use at work. I wish someone had shot some video footage; in the lifetime of social media, six years is an eternity. Just think … in 2008, Myspace peaked.

Published on August 28, 2015 in 2017/Top Headlines by Mitch Perry

The perception that the youth vote has always belongs to the Democrats is not accurate, says GOP pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson. In 2000, she says, George W. Bush and Al Gore split the youth vote, as well as those voters older than 65.

Published on June 15, 2015 in Apolitical/Top Headlines by Associated Press

The Pope is on Twitter, along with the Dalai Lama, world leaders and, of course, Kim Kardashian. The short-messaging service can bring fleeting fame, instant ignominy and get you fired. It has been credited for sparking revolutions and, like Facebook, transforming the way the world communicates. But despite the buzz generated by thousands of chatty journalists, athletes and celebrities, Twitter has never turned a profit.

Published on April 2, 2015 in Top Headlines by Phil Ammann

It’s beginning to look a lot like 2016. Signs are all around that the “silent primary” is well under way. Campaigns are busy assembling campaign teams, while prospective candidates Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Marco Rubio are only days from officially mounting White House runs.

Adding to the problem is the growing pool of eligible staffers from a generation of individuals who spent their…
