Twitter may soon let users tweet beyond 140 characters

Twitter may soon let users tweet beyond 140 characters:
Twitter Inc. is building a new feature that will allow users to post tweets as long as 10,000 characters, well beyond its current 140-character limit.
Twitter may launch the service toward the end of the first quarter but has not set an official date.

The micro-blogging website, in an attempt to keep the current look for the Twitter timeline, is testing a version of the product that displays 140-character tweets but expands to reveal more content when users click on the tweet.

Twitter has come under increasing pressure to boost user growth and ad revenue. It had its slowest user growth in 2015 - it now boasts just over 300 million users - and was eclipsed by photo-sharing app Instagram, owned by Facebook Inc, which surpassed 400 million users last year.

Getting Started with YOLO object detection with sample code and detection

Image
Intro You only look once (YOLO) is a system for detecting objects on the  Pascal VOC  2012 dataset. It can detect the 20 Pascal object classes: person bird, cat, cow, dog, horse, sheep aeroplane, bicycle, boat, bus, car, motorbike, train bottle, chair, dining table, potted plant, sofa, tv/monitor YOLO is joint work with  Santosh ,  Ross , and  Ali , and is described in detail in our  paper . How it works All prior detection systems repurpose classifiers or localizers to perform detection. They apply the model to an image at multiple locations and scales. High scoring regions of the image are considered detections. We use a totally different approach. We apply a single neural network to the full image. This network divides the image into regions and predicts bounding boxes and probabilities for each region. These bounding boxes are weighted by the predicted probabilities. Finally, we can threshold the detections by some value to only s...

virtual mouse and keyboard

virtual mouse and keyboard Won second prize for this project at hackthon event conducted by SRM texus which included cash prize .Thanks to dibakar saha for inspiration.To check repository for this project CLICK HERE Virtual Keyboard A simple virtual keyboard created using OpenCV and Python which has 26 alphabets and a space bar. What have I done The secret here is the area of the yellow paper I am wearing on my fingers. When I bring the paper near to the camera, the area of the paper as seen by the camera increases. When it is moved back the, the area of the paper as seen by the camera decreases. This is the simple idea that I have used to detect the click. The position of the click determines the key press that is to be simulated. The keyboard creation is a bit complicated process. I hope that the code will be able to explain it. Requirements PyAutoGui OpenCV 3 Usage First run the range-detector.py to set the range for the mask for colour segmentation. The easies...

Subject Sentiment Analysis CODE for Twitter

Image
Why Sentiment Analysis ? Millions of messages are appearing daily in popular web-sites that provide services for microblogging such as Twitter , Tumblr , Facebook . Authors of those messages write about their life, share opinions on variety of topics and discuss current issues. Because of a free format of messages and an easy accessibility of microblogging platforms, Internet users tend to shift from traditional communication tools (such as traditional blogs or mails) to microblogging services. As more and more users post about products and services they use, or express their political and religious views, microblogging web-sites become valuable sources of people’s opinions and sentiments. Such data can be efficiently used for marketing or social studies.
