The platform makes it notoriously difficult to download a video that was posted on a tweet. So, if you want to share a video, usually that means you'll have to share the whole tweet along with it. Sure, you can always screen record, save the recording, edit it down to the clip, and save it that way. But that's quite a few steps, and it won't always leave you with the best quality. But there is another way.The next time a Stephen A. Smith reaction video posts to Twitter and you want to share it with someone on a different app or even just keep it for yourself in your phone's meme folder, it's simple to do — if you know the right steps. Here is how you can download Twitter videos to your phone or computer.Find the video you want to download A screenshot of…

Social media influencer and upcoming film/TV star Addison Rae’s debut as a red carpet broadcaster is not sitting well with some veterans of the trade. Proving once again that it’s not what you know, but who you know, Rae’s joking remark about needing only three months of school to land her job as a UFC correspondent has riled some on the Internet Rae, age 20, posted two photos of herself working as a UFC reporter on Twitter, along with the caption, “I studied broadcast journalism in college for 3 whole months to prepare for this moment.” The caption is an allusion to her three months studying at Louisiana State University before leaving to focus on influencer activities. She was a former guest star on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and is starring in an upcoming remake of the 1999 comedy She’s All That, reinvented as He’s All That. Her attempt at humor didn’t sit well with some. See below for details.

Twitter had re-launched its verification procedure a few months ago after it had been stopped since 2017. With the introduction of a new set of standards and restrictions, the microblogging site has made the verification procedure more accessible. However, a large number of individuals with a large number of followers have complained about their accounts not being verified on Twitter despite meeting all of the requirements. Twitter published a list of the actions that may be taken to get verified if you fall into one of the groups that are eligible to receive a blue tick on Twitter today. A large number of qualified Twitter users had claimed that the micro-blogging service had rejected their application form without offering any explanation why. However, in order to address this issue, Twitter has said that it would now include an additional explanation in emails to users who submit requests that do not fit their criteria. If your application is denied by Twitter, you will often receive an email as well as a message from the social media platform. No, you will be supplied with further information. In contrast, if you have been denied once, you can reapply within 30 days after the…

Ohio State and Penn State have done battle on the football field for years, and now it has gone to Twitter. Our friends at Nittany Lions Wire uncovered some barbs flying back and for between a 2022 Penn State commit and two OSU commits from the same class. It all unfolded in front of our eyes on social media. Ken Talley, a four-star defensive end and Penn State commit from Philadelphia, decided to poke the big, bad Ohio State bear, currently, the only Big Ten team ranked ahead of the Nittany Lions in 247Sports Team Composite Rankings for the 2022 cycle. After the commitment decision of Reading, PA running back Nicholas Singleton to James Franklin and Penn State, Talley started pecking away on Twitter, saying that no team is currently recruiting like the Nittany Lions. For some reason, he decided to take launch a trolling grenade across the bow of Ohio State in the process. No other school recruiting like us , Ohio state commits just committed there for fun not to actually have a chance to get playing time 🤣 — KEN “🃏” TALLEY (@KenTalley22) July 6, 2021 And we not done so sit back in ya seat and get ya…

July 9, 2021 | 1:24pm | Updated July 9, 2021 | 1:48pm Enlarge Image Donald Trump said Big Tech is "manipulating and controlling the political debate itself." AP Former President Donald Trump is defending his recently filed lawsuit against Big Tech companies, slamming platforms for being quick to moderate speech emanating from the US while excusing Chinese propaganda and threats to America from Iran’s supreme leader. In an op-ed published Thursday in the Wall Street Journal, the 45th president began by explaining, “The internet is the new public square. In recent years, however, Big Tech platforms have become increasingly brazen and shameless in censoring and discriminating against ideas, information and people on social media — banning users, deplatforming organizations, and aggressively blocking the free flow of information on which our democracy depends.” “No longer are Big Tech giants simply removing specific threats of violence,” the president continued. “They are manipulating and controlling the political debate itself.” Trump then listed a series of examples, including how social media responded in the wake of The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden in the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election, as well as the censorship of any content questioning the origin of…

Former Georgia receiver Demetris Robertson has decided to transfer to Auburn University for his final year of eligibility. #WDE🦅 pic.twitter.com/FaRupWN8CK — Demetris Robertson (@d_rob4) July 8, 2021 Robertson, once a five-star recruit out of Savannah Christian School in Savannah, Ga., transferred to Georgia from the University of California in 2018 after suffering a season-ending knee injury in his sophomore season. In 2017 Robertson was a Freshman All-American for the Golden Bears. With the offseason addition of LSU transfer Arik Gilbert and Dominick Blaylock back off injury, Georgia’s receiver room grew a bit crowded and Robertson’s playing time chances took a hit. Robertson ends his Georgia career with 42 catches for 443 yards and three touchdowns, adding 10 rushes for 161 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Twitter threads are a way to share your thoughts on a particular subject in an easy-to-digest format. The tweets are posted consecutively and provide information that is easily accessible, quick to read, and free of distractions from other content. It also saves people time because they don't have to click through different pages or videos to find the information they're looking for. Twitter Threads makes it easier for readers who prefer to consume one source of media at a time, like in an article for example, by providing them with all the information in one post. What Makes a Good Twitter Thread? Twitter Threads are powerful because they create a new type of narrative. Twitter users can use them to tell a story more engagingly and interactively than ever before. By telling the story through different tweets, you can convey emotion and connect with your audience on a deeper level. Ryan Steward, Managing Partner at Miami, FL.-based WEBRIS said that a good tweet is one that keeps followers engaged. "Let people know it's a thread, so they know what to expect from your tweet. This is a good way of keeping your followers engaged so they can be involved in your…

Updated July 7, 2021 at 2:37 PM ET Former President Donald Trump is suing Facebook, Twitter and Google's YouTube over their suspensions of his accounts after a mob of his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol in January. Trump filed class-action complaints in federal court in Florida, alleging the tech giants are censoring him and other conservatives — a long-running complaint on the right for which there is little evidence and which the companies deny. The suits call for the court "to order an immediate halt to social media companies' illegal, shameful censorship of the American people," Trump said at a press conference at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. "We're demanding an end to the shadow banning, a stop to the silencing and a stop to the blacklisting, banishing and cancelling that you know so well." The long-shot legal actions are the latest escalation in Trump's long-running feud with the social media platforms that he used prolifically before and during his presidency. After the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the companies kicked Trump off their platforms, citing the risk of further violence. Twitter banned Trump permanently, Facebook has suspended him for two years, and YouTube has said it…

A tweet from the official Duke Alumni account is under fire for seemingly implying the onus for reducing carbon emissions is on people living in Africa. “Replacing traditional wood-burning stoves in sub-Saharan Africa with cleaner technology could offset carbon emissions—if people would use them,” the tweet reads. “A Duke team is addressing obstacles that prevent people from changing their practices.” The tweet then links to a story on the Duke Global Health Institute website. As of 11:25 a.m. Wednesday, the tweet has been quote tweeted 730 times and has over 200 replies, with many users criticizing Duke for not acknowledging how much of carbon emissions come from the United States and other Western countries. The tweet has been liked only 23 times and retweeted three times—the high number of quote tweets compared to the small number of likes and retweets is referred to as being “ratioed.” “What impact would a cessation of the West's insatiable appetite for war have on slashing carbon emissions? How many tons of CO2 were emitted during the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq? Bombing of Syria?,” wrote one user. “Shaming people whose carbon emissions is far less than ours just isn’t it.” Others also noted Duke’s…
