Twitter revamps conversations, also launches 'report abuse' button on Android - Daily News & Analysis

Micro-blogging site Twitter.com has made some changes in its site and mobile app. While launching the report abuse button, Twitter also refined its conversations between users. Tweets in a conversation will now show chronologically on your timeline. The first three tweets in the conversation will be connected with a blue line. The rest will be seen by tapping on of the tweets. "To date, conversations haven't always been easy to follow. With this in mind, we've now made it easier for you to see conversations as they're taking place, " said the company on its official blog. Android users will now see the 'report tweet' button in their mobile apps as part of their update. Apple iOS users have already had the feature for a few weeks now. The move has been hailed by the hundreds of thousands of campaigners who had called for the social network sites to take action against threatening and abusive users. Criado Perez, from north London, was one of a number of women who were subjected to a torrent of abuse by Twitter users last month. Perez said it was 'great' that Twitter has listened. "There are still issues: users have to agree for the report to be potentially shared with the harasser, and there are some boxes that could be auto-populated that aren't. But overall, this is a fantastic first step," she told Telegraph. Twitter app has also reduced its storage capacity to half its size, making it much faster to download and easier to install. via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNGAwnO8WG0COp_mWEgdjCzMk5OOsw&url=http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/1882046/report-twitter-revamps-conversations-also-launches-report-abuse-button-on-android
