Twitter has overhauled the search function for its apps on Android and iOS, allowing users to expand searches for people beyond just their names to include additional information and their profile picture, the microblogging network has announced.

This should make it easier to find friends, celebrities and acquaintances. To access the new search, users will have to upgrade their Twitter programme.

The update will also allow messages to be synchronised across devices, meaning an item read on a smartphone will be noted as such on a desktop. Until now, they would appear as unread on the one, even if read on the other.

But, to use this function, both users have to use the most up-to-date Twitter apps and programmes.

Feds say it's not too late for Medicaid expansion

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- The Obama administration reminded Florida lawmakers Wednesday that it's not too late to expand Medicaid to more than 1 million residents in the state.

Health and Human Services officials laid out many of their same talking points during a telephone conference with reporters. The state will receive more than $50 billion federal dollars and the feds will pick up the tab for the expanded Medicaid population for the first three years and 90 percent after that as part of The Affordable Care Act.

When asked the reason for the call, officials said they're encouraged by the dialogue in the state on Medicaid expansion and wanted to join the conversation. But when pressed to see if they've had substantive conversations with Gov. Rick Scott or key House Republicans, officials sidestepped.

"There is no deadline at least from our perspective. Any time that the state would like to accept the offer on the extended Medicaid, they're welcome to do that," said Paul Dioguardi, HHS' director of the Office of Intergovernmental and External Affairs.

State Democrats have tried to pressure Scott and Republican leaders, asking the governor to call a special session on the issue, and by holding town halls and circulating petitions. But any change is unlikely for now.

House Republicans aren't budging and Scott has said it doesn't make sense to call a special session unless they do.

Wednesday's call comes as hype is building around the federally run health exchanges, which are online marketplaces where individuals and small businesses can compare prices on health plans and purchase insurance. Enrollment begins Oct. 1.

But roughly 1 million Floridians fall into a gap and won't be able to get health coverage if Florida does not expand eligibility for its Medicaid program. They are people who make slightly too much money to qualify for regular Medicaid now, but are too poor to qualify for subsidies to help pay for health insurance through the new exchange. The federal law will not pay subsidies for those making below the federal poverty level, Dioguardi said.

"That's a group that will be stuck in the middle without access to coverage," he said.

Florida's current Medicaid eligibility cutoffs are among the stingiest in the country. Currently, the state spends about $21 billion a year to cover roughly 3 million patients.

Twitter co-founder's advice to Facebook

Twitter co-founder has suggested a business idea to Facebook to charge users a premium if they want to have an ad-free experience.

WASHINGTON: Twitter co-founder has reportedly suggested business idea to social media giant Facebook to charge users a premium if they want to have an ad-free version of the site.

According to Mashable, co-founder Biz Stone has said that since the Facebook ads are not 'particularly useful or engaging', the site should rather offer a premium option that would let users pay 10 dollars a month to have the site's ad-free version.

Stone further said that for $10-a-month, people who really love Facebook and can afford to pay could see no ads along with some special features and if 10% of Facebook is signed up, it would account for one billion a month in revenue, the report added.
