Twitter is testing a way to make it easier to spot the person who started a thread. A small percentage of iOS and Android users are seeing an "original tweeter" label. The company said earlier this month that it would publicly test some context and organization features. It's a useful feature, and it could reduce some types of abuse, particularly if the original tweeter is, say, Bill Gates and the replies include those from scammy imitation accounts.

Facebook plans to integrate its messaging services on Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
While all three will remain stand-alone apps, at a much deeper level they will be linked so messages can travel between the different services.
Facebook told the BBC it was at the start of a "long process."
The plan was first reported in the New York Times and is believed to be a personal project of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Misinformation has long found a home on Facebook.
In 2018, Facebook referrals were a huge driver of traffic for fake and hyperpartisan news sites. Last year researchers found that about one-quarter of the U.S. reads fake news and one-quarter reads fact checks — and those groups don't overlap much. That finding was echoed in a study published recently.

There is a scene in the film Moulin Rouge in which a crowd of top hat-wearing men belt out the Nirvana song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as they riotously descend upon the famous French hall of can-can dancers. "Here we are now! Entertain us!" the suited patrons roar as they greedily reach out for the amusements around them. It's a high-energy, campy scene that director Baz Luhrmann overlays with a sinister message about the power discrepancy between entertainers and the men who pay them.

In the U.S., authors, musicians, actors and others in the creative industries have royalties and residuals that reward their enduring stake in the redistribution of their intellectual property, when properly enforced. Yet while visual artists are entitled to royalties on commercial reproduction, there is currently little to no legal recourse for them to benefit from the resale of their work.

Driven by surging demand for online video, social and radio inventory, core digital ad spending expanded 7.8% in November, according to a UBS analysis of the latest data from Standard Media Index.
While that represents a slowdown from the 11.0% rate of expansion core digital ad inventory experienced during the past 12 months, the UBS analysts said their "broader industry checks" remain positive — especially demand for Google and Amazon.

"Everyone has a story to tell, even if they don't know it," said Mike Castellucci, creator and producer of 'Phoning It In.'
The multiple Edward R. Murrow and Emmy Award-winning news series, which is now on its fourth episode, is shot with an iPhone — favoring creative storytelling over expensive broadcast equipment.
"I have got to the point where I don't even tell people that I've shot the series with my phone," Castellucci said.

Ever wonder why web pages look the way they do?
To answer that question, we need to look to the past — 1440 A.D., to be exact. When Gutenberg created the printing press, it was suddenly possible to print and distribute thousands of copies of written material, all typeset so that the letters lined up perfectly every time. Since then, the way we read text — including online — has changed very little. But that doesn't mean it hasn't evolved at all.

In the search for people willing to pay for online news, legacy news organizations and new media entrepreneurs alike are seeing promise in niche publishing with a local layer.
Deep coverage of one particular topic or category in a defined geographic area can be an antidote to dissatisfaction with the shallowness of coverage provided by legacy newsrooms still trying to do "everything" with depleted staffs.

A new article provides genome sequencing data that triples the number of plant species with available genome data. To date, around 350 land plant genomes have been sequenced; this article provides multiple data types for 760 plant specimens (689 species). This includes images, raw sequencing data, assembled chloroplast genomes, and preliminary nuclear genome assemblies — all freely available. Effectively this work is a digital representation of an entire botanical garden.

For gardeners, winter can seem very long. But the season offers its own joys: The gentle hush of a snow-covered garden can be exquisitely romantic. And winter is the perfect time to appreciate the structure you've worked so hard to create, when the shapes of trees, bushes and garden beds are more evident.
Here are some tips to make the view as appealing during the frosty months as in any other season.

West central Edina, Minnesota, is rambler country, where low-slung houses sprawl across spacious lots, shaded by mature trees. It's not the usual habitat of Juliet balconies or front entrances flanked by classic statuary — elements that make Brian Ellingson's home feel like it belongs along the Mediterranean rather than in Minnesota.
Even more surprising than Ellingson's stately villa is what hides behind it: a formal terraced garden.
