Rest of the Day: Twitter for Windows Got Tabs and Multi-Instance Support
The rarely discussed Twitter app for Windows is receiving several updates today that make it more reliable and useful for active social network users. You can now create tabs with different streams, like TweetDeck, among several other new features. About this and much more in today’s news.
- The most important update to the Twitter app is tabs. Each tab in the app can contain different types of streams such as your direct messages, lists or profiles, similar to how columns work in TweetDeck. And you can also have multiple instances of the application running if you prefer to have multiple windows with different channels. It’s a good way to read the site without all the hardcore TweetDeck features, if you’re not intrusive. [Microsoft Store via MSPowerUser ]
- Wix acquired DeviantArt for $ 36 million. Wix is a simple website builder, and DeviantArt is an online artist community where you could upload your Dragon Ball fan art when you were in high school, based on your own experience. Fortunately, DeviantArt isn’t going anywhere; the site will continue to work as is, and users will be able to access the Wix website tools to create their own sites. [TechCrunch]
