Webmasters › Twitter Acquires London Based Chat App Sphere by iampeterben(op): 6:59am On Oct 22, 2021
Twitter announced Thursday that it has acquired a London-based startup chat app, Sphere.

It said the move is to build a community where every participant feels welcomed and can engage in conversation easily. It was not immediately clear how much the deal is worth.

The Sphere chat app is a group messaging service with a focus on the group aspects of chats.

The startup was founded by Nick D’Aloisio and Tomas Halgas. The former is a serial tech entrepreneur, having sold his news app Summly to Yahoo for $30 million at the age of 17.

The social media giant had in May rolled out audio feature Spaces, after reportedly making an effort to acquire audio platform Clubhouse. It has also proceeded to experiment with new functions to curb online harassment and promote online safety.

The team at Sphere in a blog post said it had been “watching and admiring Twitter’s growing investment in community-building with the release of Communities, Spaces and features that promote safety”.

“When we met the team, we were even more impressed by how seriously they are pursuing interest-based community and how much they believe in its potential impact,” it said.

“Today’s announcement means we have the opportunity to take what we’ve learned at Sphere and bring our efforts to a whole new level. While we’ll be winding down our standalone product next month, we’re excited for our team of 20 to continue onwards within the communities, direct messages, and creator’s initiatives at Twitter. We can’t think of a better home for this work and are beyond excited to get started,’’ the post added.

The company’s decision to acquire Sphere comes as it ramps up measures to expand its product offerings to compete with other social media platforms.

Webmasters › Facebook Reportedly Plans To Change Its Name Next Week To Focus On The Metaverse by iampeterben(op): 10:52am On Oct 20, 2021
Facebook is planning to rebrand the company with a new name to focus on building the metaverse, according to a report by The Verge.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg will unveil its new name at the annual Connect conference on October 28, but it could announce the new name earlier, as reported by The Verge.

Facebook, which has the ambition to be known for more than social media, announced Sunday that it plans to recruit 10,000 jobs in Europe for the next five years to help build the metaverse the company sees as a key component of its future.

The company also announced a month ago that Andre Bosworth, the head of AR and VR, will be promoted to chief technology officer. Facebook already has more than 10,000 employees who build consumer hardware like AR glasses that Zuckerberg believes will be as ubiquitous as smartphones.

In July, Zuckerberg said that Facebook’s future lies in the virtual metaverse, in which users will live, work and play inside.

The rebranding comes at a time when Facebook is facing criticism over a range of scandals, including a series of internal documents leaked by a whistleblower, Frances Haugen, who testified before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Facebook is still under antitrust scrutiny by the U.S. government.

“We don’t comment on rumor or speculation,” a Facebook spokesperson said.

Crime › 3 Kidnapped Seminarians Regain Freedom In Kaduna by iampeterben(op): 7:04am On Oct 14, 2021
Barely 48 hours after their abduction, the three Kidnapped Seminarians from Christ the King Major Seminary in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, on Wednesday, regained their freedom from their abductors.

The Chancellor, Catholic Diocese of Kafanchan, Reverend Father Emmanuel Uchechukwu Okolo, confirmed their release on Wednesday night.

Recall that bandits on Monday night, attacked seven seminarians at the school chapel. They succeeded in kidnapping three, while others escaped.

According to him, “with hearts filled with joy, we raise our voices in a symphony of praises as we announce the return of our Three Major Seminarians, who were abducted by armed persons from the Chapel of the Seminary at Christ the King Major Seminary, Fayit Fadan Kagoma in Jema’a Local Government Area, Kaduna State, on Monday 11 October, 2021.”

He said, barely 48 hours after their kidnap, the beloved three brothers were released by their abductors.

“We want to thank all those that have offered prayers and entreaties for the quick release of our Seminarians and others who are still in the dens of their kidnappers. We pray God to hasten the release of those who are still in the hands of their captors.

“All our priests are directed to kindly celebrate Mass of Thanksgiving to God tomorrow, Thursday, 14th October 2021, for the quick and safe release of our Seminarians.

“May Our Lady of Guadalupe intercede for us and all those that are still in captivity!” he said.

Mr. Falana the state is collapsing I think declaring a state of emergency is the best at this juncture. Cos Anambra is the beginning of South Eastern states, so if Anambra is not secure which is not right now then other states in the South East including the beautiful Enugu will be affected. I support the president move to declare a state of emergency.
