Since the holiday rush from the previous year, Mabuhay Lanes have been a talk of the town. Not because it was new, but because of the discovery of that it was beeing blocked by illegally parked vehicles and also, private obstructions.

And, with the use of social media and instant messaging, government institutions have been actively communicating with its citizens, or netizens to be specific. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority  or MMDA is now asking active online users to help them monitor and catch violators with the help of Twitter and Viber.

Here’s how to help as posted from MMDA Twitter account:

Twitter removing 140-character limit from DMs

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

In an attempt to improve its Direct Messages feature, Twitter today announces that it will be removing its 140-character limit when sending private messages.

twitter

The company encourages users to take the following actions to make the update as seamless as possible:

  1. Review the new API additions below.
  2. Update your GET requests so you will be able to receive the full length of DM text.
  3. Adjust your app UI to accommodate longer DM text.

Although the update won’t take effect until Twitter launches it this July, they are recommending to test the above procedure in advance. Meanwhile, public tweets still remain to be limited to 140 characters.

API updates:

  • REST API
    DM read endpoints (GET direct_messages57, GET direct_messages/sent13 and GET direct_messages/show13)
    Send “full_text=true” as a query parameter to receive long DM text. If this parameter is not provided, you will get a truncated version of the DM. There will be no structural changes to the response returned by these endpoints.
    DM write endpoint (POST direct_messages/new8)
    The “text” parameter will start accepting text longer than 140 characters. The new limit for DMs will be 10k characters.
  • Streaming API
    User Streams (GET user20) and Site Streams (GET site6) will automatically start receiving DMs that have text longer than 140 characters. Unlike the REST API, no additional parameter is needed. There will be no structural changes to the objects returned by these endpoints.

Twitter acquired Periscope back in January and released the iOS version two months later. Fast forward to today, Android users can now join in on the act and livestream their experience using the app.

Along with the basic functionalities, Periscope for Android receives additional features that are not found on its iOS counterpart. These include Material design UI, Resume Notification so users can pick up where they left off after answering a call or responding to an SMS, and broadcasters don’t have to upload their streams as replays are saved automatically.

Periscope for Android can be installed on all smartphones running on Android 4.4 (KitKat). Hit on the link below to download the app for your Android device.
