Twitter Is Testing Out Its Official Google Glass App In The Wild
It’s only a matter of time before Twitter releases its own Google Glass app, as Kleiner Perkins’ John Doerr dropped the hint that the company was looking into building one during this month’s Glass Collective announcement. A tweet from an official Twitter Glass app has been spotted, interestingly enough by the gentleman that brought you the first unofficial Twitter app, GlassTweet. The user that it came from had no information in their bio when I looked at the profile, but it has since been deleted, along with the tweet below: You’ll notice the “Twitter for Glass” label, which denotes which app the tweet came from. That, coupled with the fact that the account has since been deleted, shows that somebody might have let the cat, or Glass, out of the bag a little too early. I reached out to Twitter, but the company provided us with no statement or comment on its intentions for Glass. It will be interesting to see what an actual Twitter Glass experience will be, as I can’t imagine ...

Google's New Inactive Account Manager Gives You Control Over Your Digital Afterlife
What will happen to your Gmail, Youtube, Google Drive and Google+ accounts after you die? That’s probably not something you really want to think about, but as more and more of our data now lives online, that’s sadly a question that comes up with some regularity. Today, Google is launching its Inactive Account Manager on the Google Account settings page, which sets out to set up a system that allows you to tell Google “what you want done with your digital assets when you die or can no longer use your account.” With the Inactive Account Manager, you can set up a very straightforward procedure for what should happen to your data after your account becomes inactive “for any reason.” First, you set up a timeout period (three, six, nine or twelve months of inactivity). After that, you can either have all of your data deleted, or you can select a number of trusted contact who can receive your data from a set of Google services. Currently, you can choose to send your data from Blogger, ...

“Like”-able Content: Spread Your Message with Third-Party Metadata
Giving content proper structure is one of the most important things we can do—because the more structure we have in our content, the freer it becomes. Most of the time, structured content’s classifications and divisions allow for the content’s presentation on a multitude of platforms. By breaking content down into its natural components, we ensure current and future compatibility and display in a wide range of devices and environments. Third-party metadata schemas, like Facebook’s Open Graph protocol and Twitter Cards, build on this ideal. And they are quickly becoming part of what it means to have a modern and complete online presence. Facebook’s Open Graph protocol, or OG (not to be confused with rapper Ice-T’s 1991 album, “O.G.”), builds on the notion of compatibility by way of appropriately breaking down content into chunks, but from a platform-specific point of view. Twitter also rolled out a metadata scheme of its own , called Twitter Cards. These metadata protocols ...

Becoming Better Communicators
As designers, we pride ourselves on being great communicators. We go to extreme lengths to communicate with users in a language they understand, enabling them to engage with our messages and feel like they’re part of a story we built just for them. Yet, we do a poor job of communicating with those whom our work requires us to talk to every day—and we need to, and can, get better at it. In fact, as much as we consider ourselves designers, significant parts of our working hours are actually spent communicating with one another. At least, mine are. Here’s a list of tasks I perform on a typical workday: Log onto IRC (the way people at Canonical—the company behind the Linux operating system Ubuntu—communicate with anyone who’s on the clock) and greet my colleagues. Check my e-mail; reply to some, save some to deal with later. Log onto Basecamp; check my to-dos, update some notes, and comment on a hot thread. Make a quick phone call to my manager to get the daily update and clarify ...

Twitter Responds About Implementing Two-Factor Authentication For More Security In The Future
As we continue to search for answers on what's going on with the Twitter password reset situation, the company is giving us information very slowly. The situation is very complex, because the users who are getting the emails, if its not being sent to spam, think it's a phishing scam and are not resetting their passwords. This is a pretty big problem for the Internet, and we don't know why or how these passwords were leaked or compromised. Stay tuned on that, as we hope that Twitter will offer a statement soon.
