There seems to be mild drama between social networks. Just while ago Instagram took support for Twitter Cards away, and now Pinterest quietly added support for Twitter Cards. Twitter user Kelly Lieberman first noted these changes and shared the details in her blog. As Pinterest added support for Twitter Cards, this makes it look much better than only link to the site.

Watch This: Microsoft’s latest Internet Explorer 10 ad!
Micrsoft has released new Internet Explorer 10 ad to YouTube and i must say that it look awesome. IE10 ad is all about it to trolling back to IE10 hater. The guy in the video trolls IE10 by various methods, but IE10 always trolls back with clever comments, and that’s what makes this guy not happy. Internet Explorer is still the most used browser, according to NetMarketShare reports, but it’s share has been dropping. Decade ago Internet Explorer accounted around 80% of the browser markets, but that has been now dropped to around 50%. Maybe this is the new coming of the IE, who knows, we just have to wait and see when it launches.
