Twitter gives co-founder Jack Dorsey a 2nd chance as CEO

Twitter Inc. is handing the chief executive reins back to Jack Dorsey, entrusting its founding architect to reassure investors and revive the service’s sagging user growth.

At the same time, Mr. Dorsey, 38 years old, will remain chief executive of Square Inc., the payments startup he co-founded after leaving Twitter in 2008. The fact that Mr. Dorsey plans to stay at Square is a turnabout by Twitter’s board, which early on in the search emphasized publicly that it was only interested in hiring a full-time CEO.

The board’s capitulation suggests both the difficulty it had in finding a suitable candidate to lead the struggling social-media company, as well as its desire to bring one of its co-founders back. Adding to the drama, Square, which is located a block away from Twitter, recently filed for an initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mr. , who will relinquish his role as Twitter chairman, on a conference call Monday didn’t discuss his plans to split his time between Twitter and Square. Twitter declined to make him available for comment.

’s board had considered Adam Bain, a well-liked senior executive who runs the revenue-generating side of the company, said people familiar with the matter. Mr. Bain, 42, will instead become operating chief, Twitter said in a filing Monday announcing the leadership changes.

Google Confirms The Real Time Penguin Algorithm Is Coming Soon

Real-time Penguin

This version of the Penguin algorithm will be real-time, at least that is the goal, Gary said. That means that as soon as Google discovers that a link is removed or disavowed, the Penguin algorithm will process it in real time, and you would be able to recover from a Penguin penalty incredibly quickly. However, you could end up with a Penguin penalty just as quickly.

Amazon plans to stop selling Apple and Google video streaming devices

Amazon plans to stop selling Apple and Google video streaming devices on its site, Bloomberg reports.
Amazon sent an email to its marketplace sellers declaring that on October 29, new listings for Apple or Google video streaming products, like Chromecast or the new Apple TV, will not be allowed, because they don't work with Amazon's own video streaming service, Prime Video.

The move ratchets up the growing competition between Amazon and Google and Apple.

Other popular video streaming hardware that does support Prime Video, like Roku and the Playstation, will still be sold on Amazon.

"Over the last three years, Prime Video has become an important part of Prime," Amazon said in the email, according to Bloomberg. "It's important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion."

Amazon has made a huge investment in TV streaming, including releasing original shows and signing exclusive licensing agreements with networks like CBS.

By overtly removing the listings of two of its top TV streaming hardware competitors, Amazon highlights its own recently revamped devices - the $99 Fire TV and the $30 Fire Stick.

How To Get A Sweet New GIF Profile Pic

Facebook has rolled out its new mobile profile options for some lucky users, and if you’re among them, it means you have access to the new GIF-like profile pictures.

You won’t know you have the new profile unless you go check your profile on the mobile app (right now, it’s available for iOS only). Hit the “More” tab, then select your name to head to your profile. If you have the new creative suite, you’ll immediately notice your profile picture sitting in the middle of the page. There will be a prompt asking if you want to add a new summary bio—hit edit and enter whatever emoji (or, you know, words) your heart desires.

Onto what matters: Your looping profile video. There should be an icon flashing between the camera and the video symbol on your profile picture. Hit that and choose whether you want to take a video or upload one.

Videos can only be seven seconds, so you’re best off going to your gallery beforehand and editing something down (or taking a new video). If you have a new iPhone 6S or 6S Plus, then this is the perfect opportunity to show off Live Photos.

The only other thing left to do with your fancy new profile is add your featured photos. Below the About Me section, you will see five spaces for photos of your choosing.

While all of this is viewable across Facebook, it’s only edit-able via the mobile app. But don’t worry, it will still show up via the web app—here’s what it will look like:

Mark Zuckerberg changes his profile picture to Indian tricolour

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed his profile picture to rally support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Digital India’ initiative. His DP reflected shades of the tri-colours of the Indian flag.
“I changed my profile picture to support Digital India, the Indian government’s effort to connect rural communities to the internet and give people access to more services online. Looking forward to discussing this with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Facebook today,” Zuckerberg wrote on the social networking site.
The move came just hours ahead of a much-anticipated Townhall session where PM Modi, in the company of Zuckerberg and other top company executives, answered questions from Facebook users from across the world. The interaction took place at the company headquarters in Menlo Park in California.
PM Modi became the second leader after US President Barack Obama to hold town hall interaction at the Facebook headquarters. The event was webcast live on the Facebook profiles of both PM Modi and Zuckerberg.
India has the largest Facebook user base outside the US. In June, the company had said that 125 million users of its global base of 1.44 billion come from India.
