Ever since Twitter acquired the startup Periscope last year, it's been pushing hard on the live stream market. The company integrated Periscope live streams with Twitter recently, letting you live stream through the video app directly into Twitter. And while you could watch streams in Twitter, you couldn't start them without the Periscope app. This is no longer the case, as you can now start live streams directly from your Twitter app, while composing a tweet.

Twitter introduces QR codes

Image
Twitter unveiled a surprise update to its platform yesterday. It appears that the blue bird is now getting personalized QR codes, which take people straight to your profile, when scanned. The update was announced by Brittany Forks, a designer at Twitter, via her own account. What makes the situation a bit questionable is Brittany's explanation of the service, and we quote,“they work like snap codes”. It appears that Twitter is not ashamed to admit to borrowing from one of its social media competitors. In fact, its employees openly proclaim it during the feature's initial presentation, for some reason. We're still not sure what was wrong with sending people your @ handle, instead of a QR code. Or just giving them a link to your profile, instead of physically handing your phone to them, so they can scan your fancy, colorful barcode. But, even if no one uses it, it won't hurt the platform, right? The QR codes are rolling out as we speak and they should make their way to a...
