Some changes to Twitter
Recently Twitter has announced several changes… the latest ones are:
1. Terms of Services. Four main areas were affected by the Terms of Services – Advertising, Ownership, API’s and Spam. The most important one to many users is the Ownership.
Ownership—Twitter is allowed to “use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute” your tweets because that’s what we do. However, they are your tweets and they belong to you. Added to this is more notice to users that because of this term, you need to be sure to give credit where credit is due when retweeting or reposting other Twitter Users content.
2. Design. Twitter has added four new background designs available under your profile, settings and design.
Great for people just wanting to use the templates, gives a few more choices. I still think most people should take the time to create their own custom background or have one created for you. We talked about this back in July and how important a background is to your branding.
Twitter is definitely evolving and trying to keep up with the needs of users yet make it a worthy and worthwhile service to users. Great to see.
