"Twitter Is Experimenting With New Live Events Platform, “DVR Mode” For Using Twitter With TV & More" according to this article written by SARAH PEREZ >>> http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/26/twitter-is-experimenting-with-new-live-events-platform-dvr-mode-for-using-twitter-with-tv-more/
Twitter's CEO Dick Costolo leaves us to believe that there are possibilities for the addition of more advanced tools in the near future, geared towards the enhancement of its over 200 000 000 million users' social well being, particularly against cyber bullying. As a frequent user of Twitter I must applaud its management for taking such a proactive step to address this pertinent problem. I have witnessed many of my followers fallen victims of this monstrous behaviour. I have encountered it also, forcing the closure of my accounts at one time.
Cyber bullying is more dangerous than face-to-face bullying because the bully sits behind a computer screen and terrorizes his/her victim and gets high from the fact that they can witness you suffer mentally, emotionally, and socially without you knowing who they are. Only cowards engage in such psychopathic behaviour.
The thousands of people who were prematurely forced off twitter can now breathe a sigh of relief that - well I hope - it may be safe to return since the prospect for a permanent solution for cyber bullying begin to look up on the bright side.
I really think that all social sites, especially Facebook that is considered the most popular of them all, should point their compass in this technological direction.
I will suggest and strongly recommend that Twitter also demand that all users use their real pictures as their avatar, real names, and legitimate identification information when signing up to avoid impersonating others, and issue a red check to those with authentic identities - only a pipe dream since it's difficult to track millions. Well I guess anything is almost technologically possible these days.
Musical artists such as Miley Cyrus has decided to use her platform to assist Twitter with ideas in this experiment. Please take a look at the video below:
