Twitter rolling out personalized recommendation feature

Twitter wants to make your use of the social network “more personally relevant” with a new discovery feature that recommends Twitter handles you should be following and tweets you should know about. The new tool took inspiration from an experimental account called @MagicRecs, which examines Twitter users’s network and sends out occasional recommendations of accounts to follow via direct message. Mobile Twitter users, particularly Android and iOS users, will get recommendations through push notification.

Google Constitute: a tool for government creation and comparison

Google wants to do their part in country unification and government building with the introduction of a new site called Constitute. Built with the support of the Comparative Constitutions Project, the website features constitutions from around the world that can be searched by country or topics ranging from general themes, like “Foreign Policy,” to specific material, like “Judicial Autonomy and Power.”  

The internet giant hopes the site is used by drafters in creating and writing their constitutions and to help citizens become aware of their constitutions and those of other countries.
