A couple months following the feature’s debut, Pinterest is opening up about Guided Search. Simply put, “Guided Search takes a simple search term like ‘shoes’ and provides the users with a number of what Pinterest calls ‘tokens’ -- extra terms that further refine the search -- that users can tap on,” Buzzfeed explains. More than a mere convenience, searching sans typing is actually one of the feature’s great innovations, according to Jason Wilson, one of Pinterest’s lead designers.

Avos Systems, the brainchild of YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, has given up on Delicious. It’s selling the social bookmarking service to Science Inc., a tech investment firm run by former MySpace CEO Michael Jones. “The deal is effectively a bet by Mr. Jones that he can reinvigorate a company that has seemed like a perpetual fixer-upper,” The New York Times reports. Indeed, Avos bought Delicious from Yahoo, which bought itself the service in 2005.

After a standard “lockup” period, many of Twitter’s first shareholders were finally free to sell their stocks, on Tuesday -- and sell they did. Robert Peck, an analyst at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, tells The New York Times that upwards of 200 million newly released shares could soon enter the market. Naturally, Wall Street followed suit on Tuesday, sending Twitter’s stock down nearly 20%.

LinkedIn and Evernote have partnered up to help busy professionals organize their pile of business cards. “This effectively allows Evernote to become a take-anywhere Rolodex,” Fast Company notes. “Take a photo of the card, and, if your LinkedIn and Evernote accounts are connected, it will call up that person's job title, company, and other contact information from their LinkedIn account.” Not quite free, the service requires that users subscribe to a premium Evernote account, which costs about $5 per month.

Emboldened by weak growth and viewership trends, Twitter’s naysayers are naysaying louder than ever. Slate’s Will Oremus, for one, is on the company’s side. No, Twitter isn’t Facebook. “But Wall Street -- along with everyone else who’s down on Twitter because it has “a growth problem” -- is making a mistake by comparing it to Facebook,” Oremus believes. “It’s better described as a social media platform … and media platforms should not be judged by the same metrics as social networks.” 

Amid a broader shifting of staff and resources, CNN is reportedly trimming its digital division. It’s a “blood bath in Atlanta,” one source tells The Wrap. Companywide, “CNN cut or reduced 50 positions across multiple divisions … changing roles and reducing positions and salaries across the board.” The changes are being led by CNN President Jeff Zucker, who was brought in at the end of 2012 to whip the network back into shape.  

Short of an “unfollow,” there has never been an easy way to block another Twitter users’ endless stream of inspirational quotes, obscure inside jokes, “humble brags,” and namedropping. The network is now testing a sort of “mute button,” however. “In essence … the mute feature works as a kind of stealth unfollow -- you won't be seeing another person's tweets, but they won't know that,” The Verge reports. 

Continuing to struggle with wider user adoption, Twitter is considering a “whisper mode,” which would offer a more private communication alternative. “While the social network is public-first … it does have a direct message (DM) feature for one-on-one chats,” The Next Web reports. “This potential new feature isn’t likely to replace that, but rather allow users to pick a tweet or set of tweets and use them as a jumping-off point to start a DM conversation with one of their followers.”
