Mobile Minutes: Twitter's Explore tab; Yahoo hack; Pinterest grows with men; Periscope's Producer mode
Twitter tests replacing Moments with a new ?Explore? tab on
mobile
Twitter is experimenting yet again with the structure of its mobile app. This
time around, the company is thinking about replacing its Moments tab, first
introduced last fall to let users better track breaking news and other
prominent events, with a new "Explore" tab, according to Mashable.
This change, which is just in the testing phase for some iOS and Android users,
appears to be a mixing of old and new Twitter features. The Explore tab is said
to include both discovery features ? such as new accounts to follow ? as well
as the standard collections of daily Moments.
