Twitter removes @ replies!

/in , /by

Twitter have gone a way to giving you more for your 140 characters – by removing the @username with replies. So as well as pictures not taking up precious space, or quotes, now @ names won’t either. With the name of the person you’re replying to appearing above the tweet. With more than 1 person appearing like so: “”Replying to @username and 2 others.” any others will have a “click to see more” tab.

If you wish to tag anyone else you will still have to type their name and use up precious space. You can add up to 50 people to a convo, but this has had people trolling the feature:

Mobile Ordering Macdonalds!

/in , /by

Available now, Mcdonald’s is offering, in select locations, to order and pay for their meal before they go into store!

Just install the app and one of the 22 supporting restaurants have been selected, users will be able to see a new “ordering” tab to build their order. Favourite products to save time when re-ordering and payment details can be kept right there in the app for even quicker ordering. Go to the store scan the QR code at the designated check in point. Then voila, collect your meal!

To keep orders fresh the meal will only start being prepared once you scan that QR code so I guess there’s an upside and a downside to this.

Only available to 22 stores at the moment, McDonald’s hopes to roll it out to all of its stores within 18 months.
