Her finder du historier om eller fra de store sociale platforme, der har en enorm rolle at spille i kontakten mellem udgiver/afsender og modtager.

Er verden bedre uden Like-tællinger?

Både Facebook og Instagram eksperimenterer med at skjule antallet af Likes, og Twitter overvejer at gemme dem bag et tryk, så de ikke er umiddelbart synlige.

Wired samler op på tendensen:

“Yet the changes have been decried by some of the very users they were meant to aid, who view the metrics as an essential part of their experience. That’s left platforms in the awkward position of detoxing users from an addiction they initially introduced to users.”

Facebooks memo til redaktører er blevet lækket

Det indeholder blandt andet:

The Information:
“Editors will wait for two whitelisted media outlets—publishers who have qualified to be listed as official news sources on Facebook—to confirm a breaking news story if the story is based on an “unsubstantiated report.” How a report would be defined as “unsubstantiated” couldn’t be learned.”

Skuffende debut for Expressen på Facebook Watch

For Journalisten har jeg anmeldt Expressens premiere på deres nye daglige show, ‘Bara Nyheter’, der skal gøre hos Facebook – der også betaler gildet.

Journalisten:
“Jeg vil ikke sige, at jeg spildte min tid. Dertil er seks minutter trods alt for lidt til at gøre en forskel. Og måske er seks minutter netop alt for kort tid til at starte og køre en ordentlig live-sending, hvor folk kan nå at se med.”

Aside from critical information needs, 31 percent of stories categorized covered sports and 9 percent were obituaries.”

Twitter-algoritme får brugerne til at følge flere

OneZero:
“The average user with Twitter’s algorithmic timeline — now the default — follows 10% to 15% more people than those who have reverted to the old reverse-chronological timeline, the company told OneZerothis week in response to an inquiry. […]

I noticed in my own experience using Twitter that the algorithm had gradually changed how I thought about following people. I used to limit my follows to 1,000, and whenever I went over that number, I would go looking for people to unfollow. Now I follow more than 2,000 and don’t give it a second thought, because I know Twitter isn’t going to show me everything they tweet.”

Er Instagram næste mål for misinformation?

Axios:
“Disinformation is increasingly based on images as opposed to text,” said Paul Barrett, the author of an NYU reportthat’s prompted a renewed look at the problem.”Instagram is obviously well-suited for that kind of meme-based activity. […]

They’re keeping their main account and brand and being careful not to violate policies or get that account suspended, and using other proxy accounts to share screenshots. They have also the impact but not the accreditation back to the main account, so they’re circumventing the rules.”

It measures whether the ad is in view and duration of each impression, not the aggregate measure of all impressions that advertisers typically use. While the aggregate viewability measure has stood firm for several years, it fails to differentiate between ads viewed for one second or five.”
