Tech Trends- Feb 6-7<\/h2>\n

Twitter uproar, summoning a Tesla, wireless charging for driverless cars\u00a0and more in this week\u2019s Weekend in Tech Trends.<\/p>\n

Tech Trends 1) Rumors of Twitter changing their news feed causes uproar<\/h4>\n

Twitter may change, and people are not happy. Reports surfaced on Friday from Buzzfeed news that Twitter may be releasing their algorithm based news feed as early as this week. The timeline will reorder tweets based on what Twitter\u2019s algorithm thinks people most want to see, which differs from\u00a0the current feed\u2019s reverse chronological order.
\nAs soon as this hit the news, Twitter erupted. The hashtag #RIPTwitter began trending and people expressed their feelings over the new feed in a non-accepting sort of way. Jack Dorsey, Twitters CEO, then took to Twitter to address the hashtag, \u201cHello Twitter! Regarding #RIPTwitter<\/a>: I want you all to know we’re always listening. We never planned to reorder timelines next week.\u201d He also tweeted \u201cTwitter is live. Twitter is real-time,\u201d Dorsey wrote. \u201cTwitter is about who & what you follow. And Twitter is here to stay! By becoming more Twitter-y.\u201d and his last tweet read \u201cTwitter can help make connections in real-time based on dynamic interests and topics, rather than a static social\/friend graph. We get it.\u201d
\nSo as of now I think it\u2019s safe to say that your Twitter feed will remain the same for at least a little bit longer. But in the end, we could see some major changes to how our Twitter feed looks.

Tech Trends 2) Summon your Tesla with your Apple Watch<\/h4>\n

Awhile ago I wrote about the Tesla update that allowed people to summon their Teslas using their smartphones. Now, you can summon it using your watch. While the app is not an official Tesla App, it gets the job done. The third-party app called Remote S for Tesla<\/a> also allows Tesla owners to see some basic info including charging status, speed, position and temperature, and it also lets them perform some basic tasks, such as starting the car or unlocking it.
\nAccording to Wong’s release notes, you can use Summon even if your key fob is not near your car (normally, there’s a 39-feet range limitation). According<\/a> to 9to5Mac, this only works if you press the “Keyless Start” button before using Summon. Check out the video below to see it in action.
