Google Maps mit Newsfeed

Google Maps takes on Facebook with launch of its own news feed – People are getting frustrated that Stories are everywhere now, but Google Maps is keeping it old school. Instead of adding tiny circles to the top of the app’s screen, Google Maps is introducing its own news feed. Technically, Google calls its new feature the ‚Community Feed,‘ as it includes posts from a local area. However, it’s organized as any other news feed would be – a vertically scrollable feed with posts you can ‚Like‘ by tapping on a little thumbs-up icon.“

WordPress überall: 50% bis 2025

„Bis 2025 könnte die Hälfte aller Websites auf WordPress basieren – Die Prognosen für das CMS kennen nur eine Richtung: nach oben. Proprietäre Systeme wie Squarespace verlieren Marktanteile. – W3tech erhebt die Nutzung von Content-Management-Systemen und dabei zeigt sich ein klarer Trend: WordPress baut den Marktanteil weiter aus. So führt das Open-Source-System nicht nur die Spitze der Liste an, sondern wächst auch am schnellsten. Momentan basieren 39,1 Prozent aller Websites im Internet auf dem System. Die Steigerungsrate in den letzten Jahren beträgt im Durchschnitt 2,47 Prozent im Jahr – zuletzt mit steigender Geschwindigkeit. Hochgerechnet könnte im Jahr 2025 jede zweite Seite die ursprünglich für Blogs erdachte Plattform verwenden.“

Rebranding: Libra wird Diem

Libra Rebrands to ‚Diem‚ in Anticipation of 2021 Launch – The Libra Association put together by Facebook last year is rebranding in further efforts to distance itself from the original Facebook-led vision rolled out last year. … Levey believes regulators are warming up to the project, particularly through the changes and the implied distance from Facebook (which wasn’t named in Tuesday’s press release), which isn’t itself a member of the governing association, though its subsidiary Novi (formerly Calibra) is.“
