My.com, launched a new, mobile only free
email service with the @my.com domain
name. Users can sign up for a new email
account address today via their iOS and
Android phones.
My.com said that registering the email ad-
dress in the new services needs an active
phone number and pin numbers will be sent
to activate the account for the first time and
upon log-in in the future.
@my.com email service does not require
users to create a password during regis-
tration -- an industry first in email security.
This also increases account security and
makes it hard to be hacked via traditional
methods.
Twitter is testing a new fea-
ture called “Significant en-
gagement” in its iOS app.
The company describes
these achievements as “Im-
portant or higher than usual
engagement with your ac-
count or Tweets.”
This is quite similar to
Achievement Bird, a Twitter
experiment that sends you
analytics via direct message.
