YouTube Creator Studio is YouTube’s app through which creators can manage their accounts on the go. Now the company is creating a “Trusted Tester” program through which passionate Creator Studio users will be able to receive new updates to the app prior to their public release, and in return provide feedback and insights that will help YouTube improve the app.
Twitter has finally launched a version of its official Android client that is fully-optimized for the larger displays on tablets. The app has a multi-screen view for scrolling through tweets while reading links in an accompanying browser.
The app also brings a new Android home screen widget and illustrating of images that are to be shared via Twitter. Interestingly, the app is launching first on the Samsung 10.1-2014 tablet, with launches on other Android tablets to come in the future.
The announcement was made— naturally— by Twitter:

The folks at Fusible have been doing some sleuthing on the possibility of Google putting together a social network based on photos. They found that Google has trademarked the name Photovine with the following under the following areas:
Goods and Services IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G & S: Computer software
IC 038. US 100 101 104. G & S: Communication services, namely, transmission of visual images and data by telecommunications networks, wireless communication networks, the Internet, information services networks and data networksIC 042. US 100 101. G & S: Non-downloadable computer software
IC 045. US 100 101. G & S: On-line social networking services
Additionally, a company who uses MarkMonitor to anonymously register domain names has bought photovine.com from a private holder. Google is one of the companies that uses MarkMonitor.
Clearly that spells out a photo-sharing social network.
So, are Picasa/Picnik online services about to get more social under a new brand name? All signs point to ‘yes’.
