🎧 Facebook lancerer hub til podcasts, livelyd og klip i USA
“Facebook is expanding its investment in audio initiatives with the launch of a new “Audio” destination in its mobile app in the U.S., where users will be able to discover in one place all the audio formats Facebook now hosts, including podcasts, Live Audio Rooms and short-form audio.
The company says it’s also making its Clubhouse rival, Live Audio Rooms, more broadly available to global users, and is beginning to roll out a new product called Soundbites, a sort of TikTok for audio offering short audio clips.”
📃 Her er 4.000 navne, du ikke må nævne på Facebook
“The Intercept has reviewed a snapshot of the full DIO list and is today publishing a reproduction of the material in its entirety, with only minor redactions and edits to improve clarity. It is also publishing an associated policy document, created to help moderators decide what posts to delete and what users to punish.”
🚨 Instagram vil fremover advare ved nedbrud
“On Tuesday, Instagram announced that it was testing a new feature that would alert users at the top of their Activity Feeds when the platform is going through some sort of outage or tech issue. And perhaps most importantly, it’ll let those users know when they can expect those problems to be resolved.”

Facebook’s failure highlights why email reigns
🇺🇸 Derfor er Facebook dårligt til lokalnyheder
“The combination of local news outlets being bought out by bigger media conglomerates and the ever-present influence of social media in helping spread news seems to have created a new phenomenon, according to a new study: Issues of importance to local audiences are being drowned out in favor of harder-hitting news pieces with national relevance.”
😬 Politikere annoncerer forkert på Facebook
“Flere kandidater til kommunalvalget målretter Facebook-opslag til folk, der slet ikke kan stemme på dem. Det viser, at det er ”amatørernes” valgkamp, siger ekspert Benjamin Rud Elberth. En af dem, det smuttede for, var tidl. CMO og byrådsmedlem Hanne Bjørn-Klausen (K).”
😕 Facebook blokerede “ligestilling” i annonce
“Det digitale bureau Abtion måtte ikke skrive ordet ”ligestilling” i Facebook-annonce, fordi det blev opfattet som politisk. Facebook beklager”
🤔 Twitter vil nudge os til bedre opførsel
“The changes are subtle. If you are about to berate someone in a tweet reply, the company may show you a pop-up asking you to reconsider your language. If you are about to retweet an article you haven’t read, it’ll nudge you to open it first. A separate pop-up alerts you if you’re about to retweet known misinformation. These are small tweaks meant to slow us down. Head of product Kayvon Beykpour calls them ‘speed bumps.'”
👀 Det skal blive lettere at opdage Twitter Spaces
“It’s been in testing for some time, and available to selected for the past few weeks. But now, Twitter is launching a broader roll out of its new Spaces tab in the app, which will help to improve Spaces discovery by highlighting in-progress audio broadcasts in the app.”
🇨🇳 LinkedIn lukker i Kina
“LinkedIn, in a statement Thursday, said that it made the decision after ‘facing a significantly more challenging operating environment and greater compliance requirements in China.'”
Del 2: Digitale tendenser
Her kan du læse nogle af ugens tendenser indenfor medier. Det kan være en ny metode eller tilgang, branchen forsøger at tage til sig.
🇩🇰 Forskning skal kigge på mediers brug af anbefalingsalgoritmer
“Flere nyhedsmedier i Danmark og i udlandet er begyndt at indføre en lignende model, hvor brugerne bliver præsenteret for nyheder, som de formodes at være interesserede i ud fra deres tidligere adfærd. […]
Spørgsmålet er, hvad de personaliserede nyheder betyder for vores nyhedsforbrug? Bliver vi præsenteret for mindre diversitet i nyhederne, og går nogle nyheder tabt, fordi vi blot får mere af det samme? Det skal forskningsprojektet ’Safeguarding Diversity in News Recommendation’ undersøge over de næste to år.”
📈 Se & Hør vil være blandt de største
I løbet af to til tre år vil Se & Hør gerne være Danmarks fjerde største nyhedssite efter TV 2, Ekstra Bladet og B.T., skriver Journalisten.

🎤 3 apps til at inddrage dine lyttere på lyd
“Podcasts and social audio apps like Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces often dominate when newsrooms think about audio storytelling, but they are far from the only players in town. Here are three other apps to consider, and some of the ways in which journalists can deploy them.”
📊 Spotify nærmer sig Apple Podcasts – og så alligevel ikke
“Spotify is closing in on Apple Podcasts and indie podcast apps are becoming less popular, according to new data released to Podnews by Podtrac today. Calculated from over a billion US podcast downloads in September, for monthly audience, Spotify is now less than three percentage points away from Apple. But, for monthly streams/downloads, Apple is more than seven times larger – and that number’s growing.”
Fra selve artiklen:
“It’s here that the difference between Apple and Spotify is most obvious. Spotify appears to be used by the occasional podcast user; Apple (and Overcast) by the podcast fan. This may be that Spotify users also use the app for music streaming; but it may also represent an opportunity for Spotify to significantly increase its market share overall.
It should be noted that this data will be affected by automatic downloads. Overcast downloads new shows until your phone fills up; by default, Apple Podcasts continues automatically downloading shows until it notices you’re not listening any more. On the other hand, Spotify (and browsers like Chrome) stream podcasts instead in most cases. This difference may explain some of this data.”
🥰 Chrome på Android forsøger at genoplive RSS
“Google now lets you “follow” sites within its mobile browser. The feature has a similar effect to following an account on Twitter or Instagram, except you get content updates through Chrome on the new tab page. The ability is widely available to anyone on Android running the latest version of Chrome 94 that was pushed out to the Play Store at the end of September.”
💌 The Atlantic vil hyre nyhedsbrevsskribenter
“The Atlantic is launching a newsletter offering that wants to bring writers under the Atlantic’s umbrella (and paywall) while letting them stay semi-independent.”

😎 HTC vil konkurrere med Facebook indenfor VR
“The Flow is HTC’s latest attempt to compete with Facebook in the consumer VR space. It’s something the company used to be quite good at: The original Vive was at one point considered the gold standard in PC VR, thanks in part to tracking hardware engineered by Valve that made it possible to operate a much larger playspace than what was supported by Facebook’s Oculus Rift.”
🧑⚖️ Apple appellerer Epic-afgørelse
“But the one area where Apple lost ground was in what sort of rules it can make for its own App Store. On this point, the judge sided with Epic Games, saying that Apple can no longer prohibit developers from pointing to other means of payment beyond Apple’s own payment systems. Now, Apple is appealing that decision and asking for a stay on the injunction the judge had put into place.”
