Facebook finally allows you to edit your embarrassing tyops, er, typos

DNP Facebook finally allows you to edit your embarrassing typos


If you've ever written "poo" instead of "pool" or "duck" instead of, er, "suck" in your Facebook status updates, then we've got good news for you. At long last, you can finally edit your post after it's been published, a feature that was previously only reserved for the comments. As you can see in the screenshot above, simply click on the downward arrow on the top right to reveal the Edit Post option. So far we're able to edit our Facebook posts on the web, and we hear that an update with the editing feature should arrive for the Android app today and the iOS one some time soon. The Android version also adds emoticons to status updates, a view of upcoming events on Pages and the ability to create and share photo albums on the phone. Don't think you can get away scot-free with the Edit option though, as an "Edited" link underneath will open a pop-up window of the post's edit history, so you still might want to be careful with what you post.

Slacker updates Android app with tiled home screen and MyVibes playlist


While those upgrading to iOS 7 may have gotten first dibs on the new Slacker app, the music streaming service hasn't forgotten about those on the Google side of things. As such, Slacker just released an update for its Android app that mirrors the look and feel of the one on iOS. In particular, it introduces a new streamlined interface designed to give you even quicker access to your favorite tunes. The home screen is now decked with quick-start tiles, a featured trending section and a shortcut to "My Vibe" playlists, which are curated based on select activities (examples include brunch, running or sleeping). Additionally, the last few stations you listened to can now be instantly accessed from the main hub. If that all sounds groovy to you, feel free to download it right now from the source link below.
