Del 1: Sociale medier
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.
🤝 Så købte Elon Musk Twitter
"Twitter’s board accepted billionaire Elon Musk’s offer to buy the social media company and take it private, the company confirmed."
Hovedpersonen selv på Twitter:
"I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means"

"After the announcement, sentiment in the public Slack channels remained largely concerned and negative, employees told me. “I was kind of surprised how much people seemed like they were giving up,” one told me. 'Big bummer.'
But in one-on-one discussions, responses were more tempered. Some employees I’ve spoken with are open to the idea that a private Twitter run by Musk stands a better chance of improving the service than would a public company beholden to its shareholders."
Rådgiver: Twitter kan blive platform for mere rabiate udtalelser
MediaWatch / Ritzau
"Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal also applauded the deal in the release. 'Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world,' Agrawal said in an accompanying statement. 'Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important.'"
"The deal was signed Monday morning, Agrawal told workers, adding that Musk’s transaction to take the company private could take as long as six months to complete, according to two people with knowledge of the meeting’s details"

😬 Twitter talte sine brugere forkert
"Twitter didn’t have as many users as it thought — a predicament that may have encouraged the company to more seriously consider its acceptance of Elon Musk’s proposal to take the company private in a $44 billion deal."
📌 Instagram tester "pinnede" opslag
"As you can see in this example, posted by user Salman Memon, some Instagram users are now able to select a ‘Pin to Your Profile’ option on their IG posts, which enables you to then dock your chosen updates to the top of your post grid on your profile display."
🆕 Nye muligheder på din LinkedIn-profil
Social Media Today skriver om nogle nye ting, LinkedIn har rullet ud. Blandt andet muligheden for at linke til sit website (eller nyhedsbrev) – den indstilling kan jeg dog ikke finde.
Derudover har LinkedIn bl.a. også lanceret nye analytics til gruppe-posts, video-trimming i mobil-app'en og muligheden for at have sit nyhedsbrev (hvis man udgiver det igennem LinkedIn) under 'Featured' på ens profil.
📈 Engagement på LinkedIn vokser stadig
"And it seems that LinkedIn is faring pretty well, with Microsoft reporting a 34% YoY increase in LinkedIn revenue to $3.44 billion, while it’s also continuing to see ‘record levels’ of user engagement."
📲 YouTube udvider pre-publish-checks til mobil-app
"After first launching it on desktop last March, YouTube is now bringing its pre-publish checks tool to the mobile app as well, which will make it easier for those uploading their content on the go to ensure that it’s fully eligible for monetization before they post."
👻 Snap lancerer drone i USA og Frankrig
"Meet Pixy, Snap’s little flying companion. Pixy is a mini drone that can act as a camera sidekick when you can’t ask someone to take a video of you. It’s yellow, it’s cute and it’ll be available in the U.S. and in France for $229.99."

Del 3: Business
Her kan du læse nogle af ugens historier og tendenser indenfor forretningsudvikling i mediebranchen. Altså det, der handler om at tjene penge.
🇩🇰 Vækst i annoncer går især til Google og Facebook
"Den samlede digitale annonceomsætning i Danmark tog efter beskeden vækst på 3,3 pct. i 2020 et kvantespring på 19,3 pct. sidste år. Størstedelen af væksten tilfaldt Google og Facebook, viser den årlige rapport 'Online Markedsstatistik 2021'."

The big picture: The digital media market has been plagued by layoffs and job cuts in recent years, as firms tried to rally from growth challenges, many of which came to a head at the start of the pandemic.
🕹 Medier bør kigge på "newsgames"
Fra What's New in Publishing:
"Gaming is mainstream, and there are billions of people who chose to consume stories through the medium of video games. But even with some very high-profile newsgames and a demonstrable audience, few news publishers are making the most of the medium to share news. That’s a wasted opportunity – but hopefully things are turning around."
🇨🇦 Sådan går det med Canadas skattefradrag ifm. abonnementer
"Under the new tax provisions, Canadians can get reimbursed for 15% of what they spend on digital news subscriptions from outlets designated as “qualified,” up to $500. The digital subscription tax credit is worth a close look because — the thinking goes — it could encourage subscription habits that will allow news organizations to better stand on their own two feet without government assistance."
Del 4: Udvikling og tech
Her får du et kig på nogle af ugens historier indenfor den digitale udvikling og teknologi, der enten direkte eller indirekte kan have betydning for medier/udgivere.

🧹 Apple vil rense App Store for gamle apps
"Apple may be cracking down on apps that no longer receive updates. In a screenshotted email sent to affected developers, titled “App Improvement Notice,” Apple warns it will remove apps from the App Store that haven’t been “updated in a significant amount of time” and gives developers just 30 days to update them."
✨ Første offentlige beta af Android 13 er klar

👊 Sådan styrer autoritære magthavere internettet

🤖 AI-værktøj vil gøre det af med cookie-popups
