WhatsApp's latest update lets you play YouTube videos directly inside the app, in picture-in-picture mode. WhatsApp for iOS is getting a new update that brings two important features, notably, a picture-in-picture mode for watching YouTube videos, and a better way of recording voice messages.

Even the greatest SEO strategy won't succeed if you can't implement it properly. Columnist Casie Gillette discusses common client obstacles and how to overcome them If you’ve been doing SEO for any length of time, you’ve undoubtedly experienced your fair share of failures. And in many cases, frustratingly, the SEO program itself was not the issue. While I’ve discussed meta topics such as management challenges, getting executive buy-in, and the need for flexibility in the past, I haven’t directly addressed the question, “What do you do if SEO isn’t your SEO problem?” As search marketers, we work our tails off analyzing data, search results, client websites and more, with the goal of providing recommendations that will move the needle. Unfortunately, the best recommendations in the world don’t matter if they aren’t implemented — and therein lies one of the biggest challenges of SEO. Let’s look at a few common obstacles that can hinder an SEO program’s progress a...

Cadbury chocolates maker Mondelez , Lidl, Mars and other consumer goods marketers have pulled advertising from YouTube after The Times newspaper found the video sharing-site was showing clips of scantily clad children alongside the ads of major brands. Comments from hundreds of paedophiles were posted alongside the videos, which appeared to have been uploaded by the children themselves, according to a Times investigation. One clip of a pre-teenage girl in a nightie drew 6.5 million views. The paper said YouTube, a unit of Alphabet subsidiary Google , had allowed sexualised imagery of children to be easily searchable and not lived up to promises to better monitor and police its services to protect children. In response, a YouTube spokesman said: “There shouldn’t be any ads running on this content and we are working urgently to fix this”. The UK arm of German discount retailer Lidl, Diageo, the maker of Smirnoff vodka and Johnnie Walker whisky, and chocolate makers Mond...

If the FCC is able to change the rules, service providers in the US will now have the legal sanction to throttle a Netflix and force you to pay more for accessing this data-intense service. The customer will no longer be king, the service provider will. America is headed for a bitter battle over who controls the internet after the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) decides this week to “stop micromanaging the internet” by repealing the path-breaking net neutrality rules set in place by the Obama administration. The 2015 rules were like the gold standard when it comes to defining net neutrality and if they are gone, the impact will be global and not just limited to the US. But what actually is net neutrality? Simply put, it is the rule that ensures all packets of data are treated the same. This means internet service providers cannot and will not speed up or slow down any packet for any reason. Internet service providers have many reasons to hate net neutrality, ...

A computerised brain training program reduces risk of dementia among older adults by 29 per cent, a 10-year study claims. The exercise is referred to as “speed of processing training”, “useful field of view training,” or “UFOV training”. It was developed by Karlene Ball of the University of Alabama Birmingham in the US and Dan Roenker of the Western Kentucky University in the US. “Speed of processing training resulted in decreased risk of dementia across the 10-year period of, on average, 29 per cent as compared to the control,” said Jerri Edwards, from the University of South Florida in the US. “When we examined the dose-response, we found that those who trained more received more protective benefit,” Edwards said. The study, published in the journal Alzheimer’s and Dementia: Translational Research and Clinical Interventions, enrolled 2,802 healthy older adults (aged between 74 and 84 years) and followed them for 10 years. The participants were randomised into a control ...

Young children are using the internet to search and find content more than they ever have before—but we can all understand some of the trade-offs that come with this technological advancement. Typical search engines (think Google, Bing, etc.) do not default to kid-friendly settings, and it takes a lot of adult monitoring to make sure that nothing is appearing and getting clicked on that isn’t age-appropriate. Luckily in recent years, more and more safe search engines for kids have been emerging. Today we are going to talk about four of the most popular safe and kid friendly search engines, and why they should be on your radar if you are a parent, teacher, or child development professional. 1.

Twitter has suspended its account verification exercise – a process that gives public figures on the micro-blogging platform a blue check mark next to their names. The announcement came after people criticised Twitter for verifying the account belonging to the organiser of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left one dead in August, TechCrunch reported on Friday. “Verification was meant to authenticate identity and voice but it is interpreted as an endorsement or an indicator of importance.

Jason Kessler, the organiser of the supremacist rally, was given the preferred status indicated by...
