Having fun @with Larry the bird!

Larry is a blue bird. And if you still don’t know what I’m referring too, you probably haven’t been using Twitter very much. Twitter has finally named its iconic bird Larry. Start Tweeting about it to spread the word! 

Reminisce with Facebook

Wonder what you have been doing at the same time, same place last year? Well, Facebook has came up with a new function that displays your status updates on what you have done exactly one year ago!

You probably would have noticed some new features here and there on Facebook, as they have been rolling out quite a few over the years. Some of these include the reminiscing of photos taken with your friends one year ago, and the popular status updates that you have commented on in the past. This time, they have gone one step further by displaying status updates you and your friends wrote exactly one year ago. This new function has been speculated by many as one that seeks to subtly bring about nostalgia, and hence loyalty, among its fans to prevent them from jumping ship to rival upcoming platforms. However, there has been "No comments" by Facebook on whether this is true.

Though we do not know exactly why Facebook released this new function, I have to admit it is quite fun as I have seen my friends posting previous status updates from one year ago in our little group wall. It was definitely entertaining.

Any interesting updates you had one year ago? Share it with us on our fanpage!

Even LinkedIn has To-Dos

LinkedIn has been steadily gaining popularity in recent months. Though many people may have LinkedIn accounts, how many of us actually update our profiles on a daily basis? It’s not because we don’t want to, it’s probably because we don’t know what to update. Recently, LinkedIn has rolled out a new function that creates To-Do lists to help us make our profiles look more professional.

With this, it is a more structured feature to assist beefing up your profile to make it more presentable and marketable. Do tell us how you like this new function and whether it really makes a difference to you!
