🤳 Instagram-algoritmen skal fokusere mere på originalt indhold

💸 Sådan vil Zuckerberg tjene penge på metaverset

🤔 Twitters ‘Edit’-knap får redigeringshistorik
Andet ville også være mærkeligt, kan man sige.
“So it looks like you will be able to access a full edit log for each tweet – which won’t eliminate the editing concern entirely (once people have re-tweeted something, they’re probably not going to go back and re-check it), but it could at least give people an out if they were criticized for re-tweeting a message that had later been changed to something else.”
🐦 Tre steder, hvor Twitter Spaces kan give mening for en redaktion
“The social audio feature has given news organisations like The New Statesman and Tortoise a way to chat with their audience about the stories they are keeping a close eye on. But the possibilities do not end there”
🧠 Analyser hitter på TikTok
“This style of commentary is gaining prominence among TikTok creators — influencers, trend forecasters, armchair media pundits, and celebrity analysts, to name a few. These “analysis creators” are a marked departure from the earliest days of the app when content was short, simple, and straightforward.”
💬 WhatsApp præsenterer ‘Communities’
“WhatsApp has announced a new Communities feature, which is designed to provide additional functionality for your group chats in the app, and includes a range of new features including file sharing, emoji reactions, group audio calls and more. “
🔮 Skal Twitter have ny ledelse?
“Today, let’s consider the weekend’s news about Elon Musk and his effort to buy Twitter along two dimensions: the practical considerations, and the theoretical improvements he could make to our favorite hellsite. Taken together, I’d say recent developments make it more likely that Twitter is going to see some kind of change in leadership.”

“Starting today, we’re expanding Video Podcasts on Spotify to all creators in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the U.K. Creators will have the ability to upload their video content to Spotify through Anchor as easily as they already publish audio.”
✋ Spotify vil stoppe spredningen af misinformation
“And today, some news: Spotify told us that they are improving things. They’re using some tools to prevent misinformation spreading, and one of those tools is “restricting content’s discoverability” — which should mean that if a podcast like, I don’t know, the Schmoe Schmogen Experience blathers on about how dangerous the SCHMOVID vaccines are, when the best science says something different, Spotify would restrict and limit how that episode could be discovered, making it harder for people to find.”

🙁 CNN+ lukker ned
“Whether CNN+ was successful or not is up to debate — the service had a reported 150,000 subscribers three weeks after its launch, with a goal of signing up 2 million in its first year. However, its launch coincided with the corporate merger of Discovery and WarnerMedia, and it became clear quickly that Discovery’s leadership had no interest in a separate news subscription service.“

🤔 Quartz går fra betalings- til registreringsvæg
Derudover bliver det fremover nyhedsbreve, man skal betale for. Interessant, mildest talt.
“With the new system – a registration wall – all readers, regardless of who they are, get to read four articles a month for free. After clicking on the fourth article, a non-dismissable email registration will pop up, asking the reader to sign up to their main, free newsletter, Quartz Daily Brief.”

It will launch with the strapline: time well read.'”
