Check Out Twitter's New Look!

Wazzup Pilipinas!


Last year, we told you exactly who we are (Twitter is what’s happening!) and refreshed our brand. Today, with lots of feedback and ideas from you, we’re refreshing our product too and making it feel lighter, faster, and easier to use. We listened closely and kept what you love. And for the things you didn’t, we took a new approach to fix and make better.

These are some of the changes rolling out across twitter.com, Twitter for iOS, Twitter for Android, and Twitter Lite over the coming days. Here’s what people will see:

●       Profile, additional accounts, settings, and privacy – all in one place! A new side navigation menu and fewer tabs at the bottom of our app = less clutter and easier browsing. You told us you loved this change on Android last year and we’re excited to now bring it to iOS.

●       Links to articles and websites now open in Safari’s viewer in the Twitter app so you can easily access accounts on websites you’re already signed into.

●       We’ve refined our typography to make it more consistent, and added bolder headlines to make it easier to focus on what’s happening. Also, rounded profile photos make it clearer to see what’s being said and who’s saying it.

●       More intuitive icons make it easier to engage with Tweets – especially if you’re coming to Twitter for the first time. For example, people thought the reply icon, an arrow, meant delete or go back to a previous page. We switched to a speech bubble, a symbol most know and love. We also made the icons lighter for more seamless interaction.

DICT To Launch Top 3 Priority Projects

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Information and Communications Technology is steadfast in its aim to shape the country’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT) roadmap through initiatives that enhance government operations and online services, and projects that contribute towards the strengthening of telecom and public service infostructures in the country.

Pursuant to such endeavors and in celebration of National ICT Month, the DICT is holding an event focused on the Department’s three flagship projects —the launch of the National Government Portal (NGP), the unveiling of the National Broadband Plan (NBP), and the continuing of the refocused Free Wi-Fi Internet Access in Public Places (FWPP) Project. All three projects contribute to the single objective of providing ready and reliable communication and transaction channels between the government and the people. Together, these facilitate the development of a more efficient, ICT-enabled society, leading to accelerated and sustainable socio-economic growth.

The DICT thus invited us to cover the grand launch and introduction of these projects on 23 June 2017, 8 a.m., at a hotel in Manila.

Further news about the launch will be posted soon here at WazzupPilipinas.com

Relax Your Feet with ‘Zach Ebony’ from Banana Peel

Wazzup Pilipinas!
 

Dads are always on their feet, juggling between being a provider and making sure that quality time is spent with the family. How dads manage through their day exhausts one of the most hard working part of the body—his feet. Wearing comfortable footwear is essential in making everyday tasks easier. Being in comfortable footwear enables you to do more of what is important, and what you enjoy the most.

However, we easily neglect the importance of wearing proper footwear all the time. Poorly designed footwear can harm far more than your feet. They can cause pain throughout your body such as back pain and joint problems. You can avoid these, by picking the right footwear. The quality, style and fit must be all considered.

The quality used for your footwear should not irritate your skin. It should make your feet comfortable. More importantly, good quality footwear doesn’t easily get worn out.

In considering the style, you must look at how the arch support is shaped and how deep the heel cup is—in order to support you properly and have proper stability as you move.

And lastly you must highly consider the fit. Just like a car, you need to “test drive” the shoe by walking in them to see how they feel while moving. 

Just in time for Father’s day, Banana Peel introduces its new collection ‘Zach Ebony’ collection. These flip flops are layered with high-density EVA insoles and rubber outsoles to create a foot-bed that's firm on the ground but comforting for hardworking feet. This is perfect for fathers who put a premium in good footwear. Zach goes beyond the usual man flip flops as it offer more benefits like:

o    Arch support 

o    Easy on-and-off means it’s convenient to wear at any point

o    Even more breathability than slippers

Affordable, fashionable, and functional ‘Zach’ is the perfect flip flop gift you can give your father this Father’s day. After all, don’t they just want comfy footwear after a long and productive day, just like everybody else?
