Original Article:
If you use Twitter on an Android device or with Tweetdeck, you may have been wondering why you can’t log in or have had issues sending and receiving tweets. Don’t worry. You’re not alone. Twitter appears to be having an outage for some users on mobile and Web applications, and is working to fix the issue.

Around 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, users who access Twitter on their Android devices were logged out of their Twitter account, prompting them to log in again. But when users tried logging back in, Twitter rejected their passwords, giving an error to “please try again later.” While it may appear something is wrong with your account, in reality Twitter is having a problem with letting users log in from some applications, including the official Android app, as well as  Tweetdeck. Some users, who are able to log in, are also having their current date appear as December 28 2015, instead of December 28 2014, making all posted tweets appear 365 days old, or more.

On its official status page, Twitter has made a statement, saying that it is aware of the issue and that its “engineers are currently working to resolve this [issue].” As this posting we’re still seeing log-in issues with Android users, while Tweetdeck users still see tweets appear 365 days old. Attempts to reset account passwords or interact prompt that Twitter is down for maintenance. However, Twitter service remains normal for desktop browser users.

Some Twitter Celebs, such as Wil Wheaton, are quick to poke fun at the bug.

We’ll keep you updated on when this issue has been resolved by Twitter and normal service has been restored.

Adobe Premiere mobile app is getting licensed music from Universal and Warner Music
On the editing side, there’s a bit of a restriction, as users can only add 60 seconds of a song to their video.

Adobe has just announced that it’s bringing licensed music from Universal Music Group (UMG) and Warner Music Group (WMG) to its Adobe Premiere mobile app. Thanks to the partnership, users will be able to search for and find music from these two giants right in the app.

For social media users, this partnership also solves a huge problem. When people post content with music playing in the background, it’s often flagged for copyright violations on social media platforms. Now, if they pick a soundtrack distributed by either Universal Music Group or Warner Music Group, they can simply add it to their videos and post them freely across social media for personal use, without having to worry about copyright strikes and takedown notices.
