Big Revolution - Bye-bye, Reply Guy?
Bye-bye, Reply Guy? Twitter first teased its new reply controls a few months ago, and now they’re here, at least for a small percentage of users. I’m one of the people who has access to the feature, and I can see how it could be useful.

Big Revolution - Taking a Byte of the looping video market
Taking a Byte of the looping video market Late on Friday isn’t a common time to launch a new social app, but that exactly when Byte launched. The app, from one of Vine’s creators, is an attempt to retake the looping video crown from TikTok, after Twitter (arguably needlessly) ceded it by killing Vine. If you’ve used Vine and TikTok, Byte will be instantly familiar to you. You can swipe through a seemingly endless feed of creative, six-second content.
