#socialmedia: Twitter’s new Feature Now Let’s You Record Voice Tweets
If Twitter is your favorite social media platform, you know that there is one limitation to it—you can only keep your tweets within 280 characters.
Sometimes writing something down, sharing a GIF or even a video; doesn’t nearly express our true emotion as much as speaking it out would.
Well, Twitter’s new voice recording feature is here to deal with all these past limitations. You can now talk as much as you want at intervals of 140 seconds. When you are done, you just have to share tweet your voice tweet like you would any other tweet!
Want to know how to use this feature?

#COVID-19: Google Increases Its Ad Grants for Non-Profits to $1 billion to Offer Support During COVID-19
Now more than ever, if you run a non-profit, you need more financing to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

If your recipe has not been appearing as a rich, this is your chance to monitor the data using this new feature and make changes.
#seo: Google Repeats that ALL Links in Guest Posts Must Be Nofollow
Google has never been a fan of having Dofollow links in guest posts and the company has once again made that very clear. In 2017, Google’s John Mueller stated that all links in guest posts—whether paid for or not must be nofollow. Yes, even on those on the author bio!
A few days ago, Mueller repeated the same statement again: Nofollow links in guest blogs.
What now? Web owners are divided.
Some support the move, saying that lots of underserving content is finding its way on the SERPS. Article writers should focus on adding value to the user rather than beating the SERPS.
On the other hand, many people who guest blog for the links are not happy.
Is the significance of guest posting starting to dim? Is Google trying to penalize Dofollow guest posts?
