Lytro launches iOS mobile app

Lytro is bringing more visuals into your life with its new Lytro Mobile App. The app is designed to let you view and interact what they call “living pictures” on your iPhone and iPad. You can even use gestures, such as tap to focus and tilt or rotate to change perspective, on 64-bit devices (iPhone 5S, iPad Air, or iPad mini Retina). It also lets you change the aperture of the picture with just a two-finger twist. It also lets you share your living pictures on Messages, Email, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest directly from the app.

Evernote for Windows Phone update lets you switch easier between accounts

Evernote recently updated its Windows Phone app to add a slew of new features including the ability to switch easily between accounts. You just need to press a button to move from your personal and work accounts. It is also easier to find notes and documents between the different accounts and your results will show which account name the file is attached to. The update also brings the option to sort your notebooks alphabetically and what your most recently accessed notebooks are.

Twitter will fill your timeline with people you don’t know

A few users have noticed it in the past few weeks that tweets from people they don’t know have started to crop up on their timeline. Now, it would seem to be an official policy that Twitter will be showing you tweets you haven’t really asked for. It would seem Twitter already updated its FAQ section to make it clear that you won’t just be getting tweets from people you follow. It is basically like the sponsored or promoted tweets you have been seeing on your timeline but without anyone being paid.

This is the section Quartz is pointing out about this policy: “Additionally, when we identify a Tweet, an account to follow, or other content that's popular or relevant, we may add it to your timeline. This means you will sometimes see Tweets from accounts you don't follow. We select each Tweet using a variety of signals, including how popular it is and how people in your network are interacting with it. Our goal is to make your home timeline even more relevant and interesting.
