Good summary from Social Media Examiner of the tools to use for clearing the cache of your social posts. Here’s a typical scenario: you write a blog postyou go to share it on social eg Facebook and notice there’s a typo in the descriptionyou fix it on your blog postbut when you share on Facebook (even hours later) it still has the typo This is because each of the social platforms keep...
Everything changes so quickly: The embrace of the app at this school is mirrored on scattered campuses across the United States, where students are forming TikTok clubs to dance, sing and perform skits for the app — essentially drama clubs for the digital age, but with the potential to reach huge audiences.And unlike other social media networks, TikTok is winning over some educators, like...
And so it begins…. in Australia. Facebook will start testing hiding Likes on posts.
They first mentioned this at the start of the month.
Will be interesting to see how this pans out – one can assume this will be the norm on all social networks in a year’s time. Well, except LinkedIn of course, give them another few years before they catch up.
If you ever need a definition of the word viral, in a marketing and adoption sense, here it is in a word: Zao
What an amazing app – the easy way to self deepfake face swap into movies and shows.
Such a cool idea, released and delivered well.
And of course, subject to all kinds of security and privacy scrutiny now.
First it was Instagram hiding likes, now Facebook itself is testing removing Likes (from the newsfeed at least). The idea is to prevent users from destructively comparing themselves to others and possibly feeling inadequate if their posts don’t get as many Likes. It could also stop users from deleting posts they think aren’t getting enough Likes or not sharing in the first place.TechCrunch...
It’s pretty easy – check what they do on weekends.
Further to my post last week, if they are engaging on weekends (ie replying etc, not the scheduled updates) then there’s a good chance they are actually managing it themselves.
But if all the engagement is on weekdays (and in business hours no less!) then chances are the marketing team (and likely an intern) is managing it.
This post by Seth is spot on. Social networks have amplified this desire, at the same time they simplified the execution. Now you can waste time and dignity instead of money. Who can you tear down? How much time can you waste? What’s it worth to you to have more followers than the others?It’s a lousy game, because if you lose, you lose, and if you win, you also lose.The only way to do well is...
How many highly effective leaders do you know that manage their own social profiles? Working with marketing managers, we are increasingly seeing the marketing department managing the personal social profiles (eg LinkedIn) of their company leaders (eg CEO). And often, someone junior in the marketing team. They post on their behalf, engage, and even answer DMs on their behalf. And yes...
I’m pretty sure the term ‘social infrastructure’ is going to be used to death now, given that Mark Zuckerberg used it at least 14 times in his latest Facebook manifesto. It’s a good post, or at least I think it is – I haven’t actually read it all, since it comes in at almost 6000 words. But thankfully Recode has a nice summary here. Would love to know how many...
Via VentureBeat:
App.net will cease to exist on March 14, citing an inability to generate meaningful revenue and failure to gain attention of developers and users.
Wow. I had no idea it was still going.
