Twitter is experimenting yet again with the structure of its mobile app. Furthermore, this time around, the company is thinking about replacing its Moments tab, first introduced last fall.  Therefore allowing users a better way to track breaking news and other prominent events.

In addition, a new ‘Explore’ tab was added to Twitter, according to Mashable. This change, which is just in the testing phase for some iOS and Android users, appears to be a mixing of old and new Twitter features. The Explore tab is said to include both discovery features.  As a result, new accounts will follow, as well as the standard collections of daily Moments.

Finally, Twitter’s new mission appears to be focused on live events and commentary about those events.  it struck a deal to stream NFL games  Twitter had huge success recently live streaming the first two US presidential debates. In that vein, a new Explore option for its mobile apps could be used to steer users toward popular streams on its Periscope.  It’s video platform and other high-profile live event coverage on Twitter.

Tribe augments video chat with speech recognition subtitles and suggested links

https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/12/augmented-chat/

First of all, Tribe’s voice recognition video chat technology could make Snapchat and Facebook Messenger look outdated. That tech also attracted a $3 million seed round led by prestigious VC Sequoia, its first seed investment of the year.

Wednesday, Tribe’s one-touch video walkie-talkie app launches a huge Version 2 update on iOS and Android.  It is powered by access to some unreleased Google voice APIs. You still hold down on a friend or group’s tile to send them a short, asynchronous video message.  However, now Tribe automatically adds subtitles to your video chats. It recognizes you’ve said a “Magic Word,” Tribe will offer a helpful related link.

While Tribe is still video first, it’s also adding a text option.   Just in case you need to send someone something they’ll want to copy and paste, like a phone number or address. Tribe is also branching out from just being for personal contacts to allow Telegram-style public rooms.

Finally the big news, “Magic Words”, could be the key to monetizing messaging without annoying its users. Affiliate links to Amazon are one obvious way Tribe could make money. There are also opportunities for tie-ins with other apps, like pushing people to certain ride-sharing services. Paglino imagines that one day you might use Tribe to get per-minute legal advice or telemedicine from a doctor.
