Twitter is dead, what you see is it’s animated undead remain.
Warnception: Twitter Hellscape, Sensitive Content Edition.
For some reasons, Twitter has added the following to each and every post on @37prime account:
We put a warning on this Tweet because it
Twitter
might have sensitive content. Appeal this
warning
I do not get warning at all on my personal Twitter account. I wonder why Twitter suddenly flagged this account. Could it be a mistake or something else such as someone reporting 37prime to Twitter.
I took the screenshot above and posted it on Twitter. Knowing what I knew then, I expected Twitter to automatically put the same warning to the post. Boom there goes the sonic!
I “appealed” to Twitter regarding the warning on the original post and haven’t from them at the time of this post.
So, I took screenshot of the second post and made a tweet about it, expecting the warning to appear.
Yep, the warning is there. I could keep going on and on and on and on…
By the way, this post will be automatically tweeted, and most likely will get the same warning.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What The Hell, Twitter?
Jack Marshall, writing for WSJ.com:
Twitter is now collecting information about the apps installed on users’ devices in order to better target and tailor advertising and other content to them.
WHAT?!
From Twitter:
To help build a more personal Twitter experience for you, we are collecting and occasionally updating the list of apps installed on your mobile device so we can deliver tailored content that you might be interested in.
DFQ?!
If you’re not interested in a tailored experience you can adjust your preferences at any time (read below). Additionally, if you have previously opted out of interest-based ads by turning on “Limit Ad Tracking” on your iOS device or by adjusting your Android device settings to “Opt out of interest-based ads,” we will not collect your apps unless you adjust your device settings.
I have always enabled the “Limit Ad Tracking” option on all of my iOS devices.
OS X Yosemite: Dark Menu Bar Icons
Two applications that I have floating on the Menu Bar are Dropbox and Twitter. At this point in time both Dropbox and Twitter icons on the Menu Bar do not look good in OS X Yosemite dark mode.
OS X Yosemite is still in Beta/Developer Preview. For sure a lot of applications will be updated to support the dark mode.
One Long Wednesday
We all here at 37prime were having on long Wednesday. When the clock struck 23:00 hour Pacific Standard Time, we still have a lot of thing to do. Alas, we all are tired.
- New South Park Episode just aired and we missed it. “Ginger Cow”
- We don’t care about the mystery of Google Barge.
- There’s a Blockbuster store one mile from our HQ and it’s about to be closed down.
- Twitter? IPO? Tomorrow?
Anyway, we’re tired and the designated blogger, yours truly, is too lazy to come up with something to write today.
Here’s what we feel like.
WTF, Flipboard?
The tweet was sent by @Slayer and somehow Flipboard displayed the picture of falsetto-abusing talentless hack.

Software Updates: Twitter 5.4 for iOS
Twitter 5.4 for iOS is now available. This version of Twitter App removes support for uploading videos to Posterous. That makes a lot of sense since Posterous is shutting down.
What’s New in Version 5.4
This update includes enhancements to search and other improvements.
- As you search you’ll see more topic and user suggestions for your query, based on what’s happening in real time. You’ll also see these suggestions when adding a hashtag or username as you compose a new Tweet.
- Top Tweets from big moments in the past pop out when you search for a given term. For example, searching for “election” might highlight Tweets from several months ago.
- When you open a web page you can now see the related Tweet for more context. Just pull the tray icon up or down to see or hide the Tweet.
- It’s easier to see long conversations in the Tweet details view, which now shows all of the replies to any Tweet
- When you block a user in the app, their Tweets will instantly disappear from the Connect tab in the app
- Pull-to-refresh in Discover shows a new, smoother animation
- Support for traditional Chinese
- Logout support (iOS 6 only)
- Uploading videos vie Mobypicture, Vodpod and Posterous is no longer supported
- Additional bug fixes and improvements
