Making the Rounds
Meta’s Twitter alternative under construction, will be called Barcelona. Currently being described internally as “Instagram for your thoughts,” Barcelona posts will have a 500 character limit and use Instagram handles as usernames in the new app.
YouTube Music now has podcasts for U.S. users. Best part is, you don’t need a paid subscription to start listening. The real question is: what will happen to Google’s existing Podcasts app?
ChatGPT unbanned in Italy after making privacy concessions. The Italian Data Protection Authority rescinded the ban after OpenAI added age verification to prevent users under 13 from using the app, as well as an online form for Italians to opt out of having their data included in training sets.
