exchange info without seeing each other may not be conducive to film. What’s your favorite Internet film? Share your ideas at MAP’s Facebook page. Read the full Story >>

Twitter has a new feature, and, notes Mashable, it will probably sound familiar to you. Called Fleets, the new tool lets you write text, post photos, videos, or add earlier tweets into a little visual info-nugget that disappears after 24 hours — so, it’s pretty much the same as Instagram Stories, which itself is a rip-off of Snapchat Stories. Aside from their ephemeral nature, Fleets are different from normal tweets in other ways: They don't allow retweets, likes, or replies, but you can reply to them in the form of Direct Messages.
