Twitter on Android Updates photo function

Android's Twitter App has been updated, it includes an improvement on photo sharing. You will now have option to include applying pre-defined square or wide crops, as well as a little rotation magic.

If you upload a picture of people, it will remind you to mention your friends in the Tweet together with the photo. Twitter is also increasing the amount of recommendations that popup in your timeline.

The latest Twitter app will have you pull-to-refresh your feed as usual, but when there's no new tweets to display, it will pull down a panel showing more recommendations. These will include things like suggested people to follow, trending topics, and specific tweets.

Facebook aims at Twitter's hashtags

In a blog post Facebook said Wednesday that users will now be able to click a hashtag to see a feed of discussions about a specific topic. If you see a number sign in front of the word "Britney", that word will turn into a clickable link that leads to posts topics about "Britney."

Hashtags are used by Twitter and Instagram to identify topics being discussed and allow users to search for them.

Facebook said it will make the clickable hashtags available to users beginning on Wednesday.
