Summary | Especially journalists are under a lot of pressure to build up their networks on Twitter. It is however really demanding to be successfully active on Twitter - it takes persistence and a lot of time. Many people are willing to invest this time so that they are even willing to sacrifice quality time with a friend to stay home and live-tweet their favorite TV show.

Summary | The iPhone has many features that you may not know about. You can create shortcuts to type your favorite emojis rather than search them manually on the keyboard. With a simple touch of the home button you can reorganize your screen so that when using your iPhone one-handedly even smaller hands can reach all content that would usually be at the top of the display.You can have Siri acoustically announce who is calling. To improve your selfies you can use the volume button on your headphones to take a picture from afar. Also, to avoid anxiety from lots of app notifications you can just deactivate those.

Summary | On emoji.ink users can build their own emojis, or rather, build pictures or scenes out of a large collection of emojis. A lot of fun can be had with this: one can design mosters with several heads or a scene of a penguin looking at a traffic sign. The creations can be saved and used later on. We have come quite far since the days of having to build a smiley emoticon out of three or more punctuation signs.
