Two months after it debuted on iTunes App Store, Twitter brings its newly-acquired live video streaming service, Periscope, to Google Play Store.

Twitter acquired Periscope back in January and released the iOS version two months later. Fast forward to today, Android users can now join in on the act and livestream their experience using the app.

Along with the basic functionalities, Periscope for Android receives additional features that are not found on its iOS counterpart. These include Material design UI, Resume Notification so users can pick up where they left off after answering a call or responding to an SMS, and broadcasters don’t have to upload their streams as replays are saved automatically.

Periscope for Android can be installed on all smartphones running on Android 4.4 (KitKat). Hit on the link below to download the app for your Android device.

Twitter Rolls Out Revamped “Quote Tweet” Function

Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

Some people find it really challenging to express their thoughts on Twitter because they only have 140 characters (per tweet) to work with. Worse, sometimes when we retweet someone’s post, there’s just not enough room to fit our own comment.

That changed though today, as Twitter roll out an improved version of quote tweet function which allows user to embed the original tweet instead of including it (as well as the Twitter handle) in a user’s tweet in a text form.

The revamped retweet functionality is currently being rolled out to web and iPhone users. Android users, on the other hand, have to wait a little while for the function to be rolled on the Google version of the Twitter app.

5 Signs You Were Lonely Last Valentine’s Day

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

With the highlight event of February already done being celebrated last weekend, couples were scattered everywhere with their bouquet of roses and heart-shaped chocolates. In contrast there were also individuals that chose (or were just unlucky) to be alone during this day. Where did you belong? Here are 5 Signs You Were Lonely Last Valentine’s Day.

1. You checked your ex’s Facebook at least three times for the whole day (once after breakfast, lunch, and dinner)

If you noticed yourself clicking your ex’s profile at least three times a day last Valentine’s, then someone just hasn’t moved on yet (HINT: It’s not your ex). Yes, stalking her profile may satisfy your curiosity in finding out what she was up to, but what if you see her photo with her new date? Not so smart idea now, is it?

2. Uploaded a happy-but-secretly-sad post

Sure, you posted a selfie and captioned it saying that you’re happier like never before and “you feel a lot more free” not being in a relationship, but your photo sure looks like you’re still in pain from whatever she did.

3. (Really) Active on Dating Apps

We recently gave you 5 Dating Apps to Get Your Flirt On and if you enjoyed swiping left and right so much that you just ended up being on Tinder the whole day then you might be a bit too lonely. Remember, what good are those apps for when you can only go as far as chatting with people online? Go out and meet someone!

4. Did Physical Activities

No, not that kind of physical activity you do when you’re alone. We’re talking about going to the gym and telling people that you’re getting ripped for #Laboracay, or riding a bike with friends just to have a reason to go out of the house and get her out of your head. Basically, you spent your Valentine’s Day by making yourself look better (love yourself more than anyone else as they say!)

5. Faked a “romantic” post

Lastly, you definitely know you were lonely last Heart’s Day if you posted something that may seem to look like a sweet moment between you and your lover, but in reality is just a one-man effort.

Got more of these signs? Let’s hear ‘em and all have a good laugh!
