YouTube To Retire Trending Page Section A Decade After Its Debut, Will Remain Available Until THIS Date
YouTube Trending Page Feature
The feature, which was first created to show off worldwide viral content in real-time, has seen a decline in usage in recent years. 'YouTube has evolved significantly over the past 10 years, and so has the way users discover and consume content,' the company stated in its announcement.
YouTube is moving its emphasis to category-specific charts under the YouTube Charts section, replacing the general Trending section. With more categories anticipated to be added soon, users can now peruse carefully curated lists like Trending Music Videos, Weekly Top Podcasts, and Trending Movie Trailers. For more individualised discovery, the company also encouraged users to peruse content through the channels of individual creators, the subscriptions feed, and the Explore Page.
The Google-owned video sharing platform highlighted the increasing significance of its algorithmic suggestions, which present well-liked videos based on each user's viewing preferences and past viewing activity.
YouTube Studio's Inspiration Tab For Creators
It recommends using YouTube Studio's Inspiration tab for creators who want to keep up with the latest trends. This tab provides insights and content recommendations based on audience preferences and performance data.
In line with broader shifts in user behaviour and the platform's developing recommendation systems, the removal signifies a strategic shift by YouTube to concentrate on more individualised and category-based content discovery.
The original purpose of YouTube Trends was to showcase videos that quickly attracted viewers' attention. The trending tab showcased the most popular music releases, viral sensations, and news highlights. (With IANS Inputs)

Google turns Android phones into earthquake detectors, records 11,000 tremors on crowdsourcing
The Android Earthquake Alerts system prioritises scale over precision, leveraging the widespread use of Android smartphones, which collect motion data by default unless opted out read more Follow us on Google News Google utilised motion sensors in over two billion mobile phones from 2021 to 2024 to detect earthquakes and issued automated warnings to millions across 98 countries, revealed a Science journal analysis released last week. The analysis shows that Google's system recorded over 11,000 quakes, matching the performance of traditional seismometers. Independent earthquake researchers commend the system but call for greater transparency into Google's proprietary technology before public officials rely on it. Traditional seismometer-based alert systems exist in places like Mexico, Japan, and the US west coast. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In 2020, Google launched a crowd-sourced system using Android phones to detect early tremors. Data from its first three years, released recently, confirm its effectiveness and improvement. Google notes that annual earthquake deaths average thousands, but its mobile-based alerts have expanded access tenfold since 2019. 'It's very impressive: most countries don't have an earthquake early-warning system, and this can help provide that service,' Allen Husker, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology, was quoted as saying by Nature. However, he seeks more access to Google's data and algorithms. Google's scientists claim they're as transparent as possible, citing privacy constraints on sharing raw phone data. They told Nature that the Science paper aims to clarify the system's operations. 'That really is the origin of this paper,' says Richard Allen, a University of California, Berkeley seismologist and Google visiting faculty. 'I hope the community will recognise that and appreciate that.' How does Google's Earthquake Alerts system work? The Android Earthquake Alerts system prioritises scale over precision, leveraging the widespread use of Android smartphones, which collect motion data by default unless opted out. Google's algorithms analyse signals, accounting for regional geological and construction variations, as well as differences in phone motion sensors. Challenges persist in detecting major earthquakes. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The system underestimated two powerful 2023 Turkey quakes, sending 4.5 million warnings. After algorithm upgrades, re-analysis showed the system could have issued urgent 'TakeAction' alerts to ten million phones. 'This shows they have been working to improve the system since 2023, with tangible positive results,' says Harold Tobin, a University of Washington seismologist.

Farah Khan says she has shifted cook Dilip's kids to English medium with one of them even learning culinary skills: ‘Show chal pada toh maine shift kar diya…'
After Archana Puran Singh's house help Bhagyashree won the internet, it's Farah Khan's cook Dilip who's now stealing the spotlight–thanks to the filmmaker-choreographer's YouTube vlog. What began as a casual pastime has grown into a full-fledged content sensation, with Dilip and Farah's witty banter becoming the show's unexpected highlight. Their camaraderie has not only brought views but also transformed lives. Farah recently shared that the success of the channel has enabled her to shift all of Dilip's children to English-medium schools. One of them has even pursued a culinary diploma to work in a restaurant or hotel. In their latest episode, Farah and Dilip paid a visit to actor Shalin Bhanot's home. While waiting for them, Shalin joked, 'Dilip ke chakkar mein saare chotu star ban gaye aur stars bekaar ban gaye.' When they finally arrive, Dilip spots a fancy nameplate outside that reads: 'Shalin Bhanot and Family.' Inspired, he says he will install one at his own house in Bihar. 'Main bhi lagaunga na apne ghar pe mera naam. ( I will also put a nameplate outside my house).' Farah, feigning indignation, asks, 'Aur mera? (And me?)' To which Dilip smiles and replies, 'Aapka bhi naam laga dunga (I will put your name too).' Farah chuckles, 'Of course, after all, I helped you make it!' ALSO READ | Pratyusha Banerjee's dad gave her alcohol, their relationship was complicated: Rahul Raj Singh again attacks Balika Vadhu actor's parents As the conversation flows, Farah quizzes Shalin's cook Chotu about his personal life. When he says he's married with one child, she looks at Dilip and quips, 'Isko kya padi thi teen bachche karne ki? (Why did he have to have three kids)' The laughter continues as Farah shares with Shalin's mother how Dilip's dedication has come full circle: 'Because our show is working, I could put his kids in English-medium school. And I admitted one to culinary school so she doesn't have to work in homes—she can work in hotels.' She added warmly, 'Dilip has fed so many people… now karma is feeding him.' In a light moment, Shalin proposes a deal: Dilip can accompany Farah to male celebrities' houses, but he will take over when it's a female star. Farah teases him for backing out when she repeats the offer. Dilip then jokes, 'I want to accompany her because I need girlfriend.' But quickly corrects himself, 'No, Shalin wants. I am married. I don't need girlfriends!' Earlier in the vlog, Dilip had shared that he's been married for over two decades. 'Meri toh shaadi ho gayi hai, aur woh bhi mere ghar walon ne karayi thi. 2003 mein shaadi hui thi. (I am married since 2003. My family has arranged it for me.)'

Blinkit won't cede quick commerce market leadership under any circumstance, says Albinder Dhindsa
CEO Albinder Dhindsa pointed out that Blinkit's near-term margins appear to have stabilised. For the April-June quarter, Blinkit reported a 140% year-on-year jump in gross order value (GOV) to Rs 11,821 crore, effectively taking its annualised GOV run rate to around $5.5 billion. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Blinkit will not yield ground in the highly competitive quick commerce sector, its chief executive Albinder Dhindsa said on Monday, underscoring that long-term profitability was not a also pointed out that Blinkit's near-term margins appear to have stabilised. 'It feels like margins have bottomed out,' Dhindsa said. As roughly a year's worth of new dark stores begin maturing, he expects both percentage margins and absolute losses to said, he noted that margin gains won't be smooth. 'There could be some bumps along the way if the competitive intensity goes up again.'Dhindsa's comments come at a time when the 10-minute delivery space has seen the entry of multiple players, over the last year. The new entrants include larger, cash-rich ecommerce companies such as Walmart-owned Flipkart and Amazon India.'The opportunity in front of us is massive, which means that the competition in this space is also very high. We see an influx of new players in this segment every now and then, and we see varying aggression by existing competitors, depending on their balance sheet and near-term growth objectives. Under no circumstances, will we let go of our market position here, and lose sight of the size of the prize in the long term,' Dhindsa wrote in a letter to the shareholders of Blinkit's parent company, Eternal For the April-June quarter, Blinkit reported a 140% year-on-year jump in gross order value (GOV) to Rs 11,821 crore, effectively taking its annualised GOV run rate to around $5.5 the same time, the quick commerce company, which competes with Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, BigBasket, JioMart and others, reported adjusted operating losses of Rs 162 crore for the first quarter.'The long term profitability of the business is not a concern. Despite the investments in long term infrastructure and high competition, a large portion of our business is already profitable with some cities at over 2.5% adjusted Ebitda margin (as a % of net order value). Getting to these margins in some cities so early in this business, is a testament to the feasibility of our long term guidance of 5-6% margin,' Dhindsa noted, adding that in the near-term, loss margins have bottomed out.
