Apps like Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon are popular among Twitter users.

Here are some platforms that are increasingly finding their base among users who are quitting Twitter.

Since being bought by entrepreneur Elon Musk for a staggering $44 billion in October 2022, Twitter has been on a rollercoaster ride. On the other hand, Twitter's user base is steadily declining. The current turf war on Twitter has given many people a chance. Now, a plethora of rivals are vying for the diminishing user base of the microblogging service. Recently, a number of businesses introduced platforms that were designed after the social networking site run by Elon Musk.

Most users are looking into Twitter alternatives as the market becomes more competitive and in light of the constantly shifting restrictions. Here are a few websites that are gaining popularity among Twitter users who are leaving the service.

Instagram's Threads

Threads, the most recent clone of Twitter, is now the one that poses the greatest threat to Twitter. In fact, Threads has recorded over 100 million registrations within a few days of introduction, which is an astounding amount of users even for an established social networking site. It should be emphasised that despite being a site over two decades old, Twitter only has 450 million users, which is just four times as many as Threads.

A study shows that honey bees can make judgements more quickly and effectively than humans.

Using their primitive brains, bees can make quick, wise judgements, according to a recent research.

The humble honeybee is a subject that can never be adequately discussed. They serve a crucial role in many ecosystems as pollinators and even produce honey, which is a delightful and very nutritious meal that is enjoyed by many animals. These tiny critters have been "engineered" over millions of years to make quick judgements that minimise danger, according to new study.

According to Macquarie University, the study that was published in the journal eLife yesterday not only advances our knowledge of insect brains but also provides insight into how human brains have developed and how to create better robots. In addition to outlining the neural pathways in bees' brains that enable quick judgements, the study report presents a model of decision-making in bees.

“Decision-making is at the core of cognition. It’s the result of an evaluation of possible outcomes, and animal lives are full of decisions. A honey bee has a brain smaller than a sesame seed. And yet she can make decisions faster and more accurately than we can. A robot programmed to do a bee’s job would need the backup of a supercomputer,” said Andrew Barron, corresponding author of the study, in a press statement. Barron is a professor at the university.

Amazon challenges EU online content regulations as the first Big Tech company.

19 platforms and search engines were classified as extremely significant online platforms under the Digital Services Act (DSA), which went into effect last year and has more than 45 million users.

In a move that might inspire other internet titans to imitate, Amazon is contesting its inclusion in a group of businesses subject to strict European Union online content regulations.

Two weeks after German online retailer Zalando sued the European Commission over the same matter, a Big Tech corporation filed a challenge at the General Court in Luxembourg, the second-highest court in Europe.

First-ever decline in ChatGPT user numbers

 In June, ChatGPT's traffic, which includes both app and website traffic, declined by 9.7%.

A report by The Washington Post reveals that ChatGPT’s traffic decreased by 9.7 per cent in June, encompassing both app and website traffic. Additionally, data from Sensor Tower indicates a significant drop in ChatGPT app downloads on iOS compared to early June.

For the first time ever, traffic to OpenAI's ChatGPT, the generative AI model that swept the internet, has dropped a startling 10%. Similarweb data shows a dramatic fall in mobile and website traffic, which suggests that OpenAI is using less AI-powered products and services.

According to a report by The Washington Post, ChatGPT's traffic, which includes app and website traffic, declined by 9.7% in June. Additionally, according to Sensor Tower statistics, fewer iOS users have downloaded the ChatGPT app since early June.

The next big thing on the internet, ChatGPT, uses generative AI to produce replies that are human-like and can compose essays, develop computer code, and maybe even pass professional examinations. OpenAI even worked with Microsoft to popularise ChatGPT, resulting in a new version of the Edge browser that gives users free access to GPT-4, the most recent language model developed by OpenAI.

A bug in Google News stops fresh news from showing up in the stream.

You can't access Google News to view fresh content from your favourite websites and publishers. It's Google, not you.

One of the finest news aggregation applications is without a doubt Google News, however a recent glitch seems to be restricting stories from your favourite websites and newspapers.

All websites are now experiencing an ongoing difficulty that prevents them from being correctly indexed, according to Google's Search Status Dashboard, a portal that gives information on services that are part of Google Search. This appears to be preventing many people from viewing fresh content from their favourite websites and magazines and decreasing traffic for numerous businesses.

Many publications may experience a significant decline in traffic until the flaw is rectified because Google News is a major traffic referrer for websites on the internet. Google acknowledged the problem yesterday, although according to the Search Status Dashboard, it may have originated on June 21.
