Twitter’s New Terms of Service, themes and typography
Twitter keeps evolving, trying to serve and manage more information and getting more serious this time. Today there is update in Twitter’s Terms of Services saying more or less something like “Hey, you know what? It’s time to get serious.” Some of the new highlights from the new “Terms” include Advertising (we live in an Ad-world after all), Twitter APIs, which means more and better applications, Spam rules, and last but not least Ownership. According to Twitter, the Ownership part can be summarized to this:
Twitter means ditter is allowed to “use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute” your tweets because that’s what we do. However, they are your tweets and they belong to you.
In addition, Twitter added four new themes and in case you haven’t noticed it, the typography of the number of the followers and following links changed.
UPDATE: after some conversation with some friends, typography looks the same (according to them :P)
