theysay We are classifying the Indian variant as a 'variant of concern' at a global level. So far, from the information we have, the public health and social measures work, but we need to work that much harder to control any virus variants that have demonstrated increased transmissibility. This is important. We will continue to see variants emerge. We will continue to see variants of concern around the world and we must do everything that we can at an individual level to really limit the spread. Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO technical lead, in a media briefing

Tweet, make a buck

Twitter has launched a "Tip Jar" feature, which allows users to send money to their favourite content creators. The rollout is currently limited to a few "creators, journalists, experts, and nonprofits" tweeting in English, for testing sake. This allows them to turn on the tip-jar icon, which appears next to the “follow” button on mobile apps. Followers can click on the icon and see links to whatever payment services the account holder added and go directly to those sites to finish tipping. Twitter takes no cut. While some appreciate this value-add, others are suspecting cybersecurity hiccups with payment information.
