Following an after-hours tumble Thursday, shares of Google seem to have recovered. Let's look at the technology stocks to watch Friday:

Google. Shares are down 0.67% in pre-market trading, after the company reported third quarter earnings that showed a slowdown in its advertising business. Google also missed on earnings and revenue, reporting $6.35 a share off $16.52 billion respectively. Meanwhile, revenue growth from Google sites didn't grow as quickly as analysts forecast.

AMD. The chip maker is cutting 7% of its workforce, which the company says will save them $85 million in 2015, reports The Associated Press. AMD employs more than 10,000 people as of the end of the third quarter.

Twitter. The social network is introducing Audio Cards to help users easily share and listen to music and audio clips through their mobile devices. One of Twitter's first partners will be streaming audio service Soundcloud.
