About Twitter Profile Labels

Twitter uses visual identity signals like labels and badges on account profiles to help distinguish between various account types and to give more context about them. While some of these labels are generated by Twitter, others are the result of user activity. Here is a list of the labels and badges that are frequently seen on account profiles.

An in-depth look into Search Console performance data filtering and restrictions

The most commonly used data in Search Console is Google Search performance statistics, which is accessible via the Performance report and the Search Analytics API. This post goes over the data that is available and how Google processes it, including privacy filtering and other constraints relating to serving latency, storage, and processing resources. Have you ever wondered how these systems work? Let's take a closer look at them. Check out the introduction to Performance reports if you're new to Search Console.

Site names are being introduced on Google Search

In order to make it simpler to understand which website is linked to each result, Search has introduced site names on mobile search results today. We'll also show you how to use structured data to specify your preferred site name. In addition to English, French, Japanese, and German, site names will soon be made available for mobile Google Search results in new languages.   To determine the domain name of a search result, Google Search uses a number of different resources. You can utilise structured data on your homepage to tell Google what the site name should be by specifying your favourite option. Go to the Site name documentation for further details on how to do this. For the most recent best practises, we also advise going over the favicon documentation once more. As long as the icon is at least 48 pixels wide and complies with the current favicon rules, it will be displayed on Search. As always, please let us know in the Google Search Central Help Community if you have any qu

Project for Speech Accessibility

Collaborating to improve voice recognition To make speech recognition more inclusive of various speech patterns, the project is launching with unprecedented cross-industry backing from companies including Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft as well as charitable groups whose communities will gain from this accessibility endeavour. The variety of speech patterns frequently linked to disabilities are not always recognised by today's speech recognition systems, such as voice assistants and translation tools. This includes speech impairment caused by Down syndrome, Parkinson's illness, cerebral palsy, Lou Gehrig's disease, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. As a result, many people in these and other areas might not be able to take use of the most recent speech recognition technologies.  Source: ILLIONIOS
