YouTube on Android TV gets darker background, thumbnail borders

We're not sure how widely YouTube has released this new user interface tweak for its Android TV app, but it certainly looks like a step in the right direction. The app seems to have a darker grey background as well as a border around highlighted thumbnails. Both features make it easier to read what's on the screen. The latter makes it quicker to differentiate what video is highlighted. Let us know if you've gotten access to the new feature. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Pinterest gets ahead of coronavirus misinformation with custom search results

Pinterest hopes to keep misinformation about the coronavirus (COVID-19) at bay with a new "custom search experience." The company's goal is that it gives you reliable information about the epidemic. When this experience is put in place, searching for terms like "coronavirus" and "COVID-19" will surface curated pins from the World Health Organization, like how to protect yourself and other questions and information you will need to know about the illness. 

The company also told The Verge it would remove any misinformation it finds about the coronavirus since it violates its health misinformation policy.

Twitter's take on Stories is called Fleets

The ephemeral posts that Snapchat made popular with its Stories have invaded most popular social platforms. Now, Twitter is somewhat ready to roll out its version. The company is calling it the Fleet, and it's being tested in Brazil. These posts that would last for 24 hours will appear in a separate timeline above your main timeline. There will be a new plus button that shows up at the top of your timeline, where the other fleets will be. When you tap on that button, you can type up text posts of up to 280 characters, add photos, GIFs, and videos. You know the drill. 

Fleets from those you follow and who follow you back will appear first, with the most recent posts showing up first. And then, you'll get to see posts from other accounts you follow. As expected, you will not be able to like or retweet these fleets. But you can react to them with the reaction emojis you might have seen recently introduced to Twitter's direct messages, or you can send the person behind the account a DM.
