Twitter's new Highlights Feature

How to enable Twitter's new Highlights feature on Android

Make sure you never miss an important tweet or conversation, by enabling Highlights.

Twitter on Thursday announced a new feature, called Highlights, that's intended to help you stay informed on the most important tweets and conversations among your followers.

The feature is limited to English-language readers with the Twitter app installed on an Android device, however.

While Highlights is officially launching today, April 23, it requires an opt-in to start receiving alerts.

To enable the feature on your account, you'll need to launch the official Twitter app on your Android device and bring up the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of your screen.
Select Settings from the drop-down.
Next, tap on your account name. If you have more than one account, you'll need to complete this process on each account.
Tap on Mobile Notifications.
Scroll down until you find the new option titled Highlights and tap on it. The check box should now display a check mark, indicating the feature is enabled.

Alternatively, you can also access Highlitghts by tapping on its icon in the navigation bar of the Twitter app.

Back out of Settings and look for an alert toward the bottom of your device's screen letting you know the new notification setting has been saved.

Now, all you have to do is wait until Twitter feels it has enough important content to push an alert to your device. I enabled the feature about 30 minutes ago and have yet to receive anything. Which is what I expected, considering Twitter will only send a maximum of two highlight alerts per day.

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of 10 free call apps to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks With $149 Windows 10 Laptops Despite a lacklustre start, Chromebooks are becoming relatively popular in the super-budget end of the portable market. This has worried Microsoft for some time. After all, with a Google-centric experience, not to mention an operating system in the form of Chrome OS, there’s little if anything to be gained here by Microsoft and everything to lose. That’s why it’s targeting the Chromebook specifically, with a most likely Windows 10-based $149 laptop. They’re no MacBook killers and don’t expect them to play GTA V, though (when it finally makes a PC appearance that is). According to tech rumour site www.Digitimes.com , these laptops are geared primarily towards emerging markets, education and the super-low end market, which includes users whose tasks are limited to web browsing, word processing and social media use. The Chromebook has gained traction in quite a few areas and Micros...

Spartan Vs. Rest!!

Spartan For many, it’s not exactly a confidence booster that Microsoft’s forthcoming new browser will be a “Windows App,” rather than a traditional desktop application. It sports the characteristic borderless frames and blockily minimalist aesthetic, and the overall impression is of a stripped-down, simplified version of IE, according to an initial appreciation by Network World’s Howard Wen. ( "First Look: Microsoft's new Spartan browser for Windows 10" ) But, in a lot of ways, that’s probably a good thing – Chrome’s got a very similar look and feel, and it’s doing pretty well for itself. Spartan appears as a Windows app Chrome So what about the browser Spartan’s trying to knock off of its perch? Chrome’s still got major advantages over the rest of the field, including a perceived performance edge, simple and elegant design, and tight integration with Google’s wildly popular web services like Gmail. Simplicity is key for Chrome For the moment, those features...
