Instagram denies that it's limiting the reach of posts

Over the past few months, you might have seen Instagram posts claiming that the platform has only been showing your photos to seven percent of your followers. Turns out it’s just some weird copypasta, which became big enough for the company to addres…

Twitter Testing Out Simpler, Redesigned Website

If you think that the current design of Twitter is a bit too confusing and messy, then you might be interested to learn that Twitter has announced that they have begun rolling out a redesigned website. However this seems to be a test of sorts because Twitter states that not all users will be able to opt-in for this design, meaning that Twitter could still be looking for user feedback to determine when they should begin a wider roll out.

This is actually not the first time that Twitter had teased a redesign, but this announcement seems to suggest that the company is getting closer to rolling out for its users. The new design will make the website easier to navigate, where users will be able to use keyboard shortcuts to find their way around the website and certain tasks, versus clicking which can be a bit slower.

Other changes also include a dedicated emoji button, and there will also be an upgraded trend section. That being said, this seems to be a bit limited at the moment in terms of availability. If you do see the option to enable it for yourself, then you are one of the lucky few who are getting to test it out. If you don’t see it, not to worry as we’re sure that Twitter will eventually get around to making it available for everyone. In the meantime you can check out the video below to get an idea of what some of the changes you can expect.

DOOMBA Creates Doom Maps Using Your Roomba

Are you a DOOM fan? Of course, you are. Do you own a Roomba? Of course, you do. Now you can combine two of your favorite things into one new cool thing. DOOMBA is a script written by programmer and designer Rich Whitehouse for his 3D model and animation conversion program Noesis that allows you to create playable Doom maps from the data collected by your Roomba. How cool is that?

Now your little robot vacuum cleaner is helping you in a whole new way.  Now we just need to be able to put our Roomba in the actual map that it generates so that it can play a fun game of DOOM while we watch.

I’m eagerly awaiting that Black Mirror episode. Mostly because I can’t wait to see a gun-toting Roomba going crazy on some demons. Actually, I’d like to see that turned into a product. A robot that cleans my floor and secures my home? Hell yeah! Now that’s a DOOMBA. It would be the best security guard ever.

You can read more about the process and download the program from Rich’s website HERE if you’re interested in trying DOOMBA out for yourself.
