too see that twitter has made some changes to its user interface which looks

better than previous one.

 

Let us understand these changes.twitter has introduced new tab called activity

in which you can see your Friends activity.The activity tab includes Favorites,

follows, retweets, and more by people you follow.Many of us thinks that the

Retweet tab is replaced by activity tab which is wrong in the sense that you can

now view your tweets that were retweeted and more in @username tab.

  



@username tab includes your mentions, tweets that were retweeted and who have

listed you recently.

Experiments on Google+ and Twitter Influencing Search Rankings

The obscurity began on April 3rd when Google Realtime Search went gloomy. The next day I learned the basic cause to be Google loosing access to its special Twitter data feed.
