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.

📈 Facebook vokser stadig

Fra Social Media Today:

Despite ongo­ing pre­dic­tions of its demise, and count­less straight up dec­la­ra­tions of the same, Face­book is still going strong, and still adding users, despite the app now hav­ing been with us for 20 years.

🔖 Meta vil gerne have fælles mærkat for AI-indhold

Fra The New York Times

📲 Instagram tester feed-preview

Fra Social Media Today:

Insta­gram is cur­rent­ly test­ing a new option with some users that enables you to view how your feed posts will look on your pro­file grid before you pub­lish, so you can ensure that each update fits into your over­all IG aes­thet­ic.

🙅‍♀️ Meta vil ikke anbefale politisk indhold på Threads

Fra Axios:

Meta will not "proac­tive­ly rec­om­mend polit­i­cal con­tent from accounts you don't fol­low" on Threads, the com­pa­ny said in a state­ment pro­vid­ed to Axios.

🔖 Threads tester mulighed for at gemme opdateringer

Fra TechCrunch:

Insta­gram Threads is get­ting a high­ly request­ed fea­ture that puts it in clos­er com­pe­ti­tion with X/Twitter. The text-based social net­work­ing app is exper­i­ment­ing with the abil­i­ty to save posts, allow­ing users to book­mark favorite posts to revis­it them lat­er.

💡 Sådan fungerer Threads' algoritme

Fra Social Media Today:

Though there is a log­ic to it, with Meta recent­ly shar­ing an overview of its Threads algo­rithm, and how the sys­tem decides what posts get seen in the app, and how that dri­ves expand­ed reach.

🤔 LinkedIn slanker "Creator Mode"

Fra Social Media Today:

LinkedIn is get­ting rid of its “Cre­ator Mode” option as part of its broad­er shift away from hash­tags as a con­nec­tive tool, though it’s still keep­ing most of its Cre­ator Mode ele­ments as option­al tools for all users, even if you haven’t switched Cre­ator Mode on in your set­tings.

🎨 YouTube tester feeds efter farve

Fra 9 to 5 Google:

It seems like YouTube is look­ing at the thumb­nail (and maybe the full video) to deter­mine the pre­dom­i­nant hue (a la Mate­r­i­al You Dynam­ic Col­or). Maybe some users won’t mind brows­ing in this man­ner? (It reminds me of peo­ple who orga­nize their home­screens by app icon col­or.)

✨ Nu er Bluesky åben for alle

Fra The Wash­ing­ton Post:

Today, Bluesky is open­ing to the pub­lic after near­ly a year as an invi­ta­tion-only app, with Graber as its CEO. With a lit­tle over 3 mil­lion users, it’s mount­ing a long-shot bid to take on the com­pa­ny that spawned it — and to set social media on a course that no sin­gle cap­tain can con­trol.

Jeg er på Bluesky, men har dog ikke brugt plat­for­men siden slut­nin­gen af novem­ber. Men følg mig, hvis du er på Bluesky, så kan det da være, vi kan få gang i den her­hjemme 😉

Mere Bluesky:

For all that tumult, though, Bluesky has remained much the same. Unlike oth­er pop-up social net­works that come and go, Bluesky’s com­mu­ni­ty has remained active and grow­ing, while pre­serv­ing the essen­tial weird­ness that has always dis­tin­guished it. 

- Plat­former

After almost a year as an invite-only app, Bluesky is now open to the pub­lic. Fund­ed by Twit­ter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Bluesky is one of the more promis­ing micro-blog­ging plat­forms that could pro­vide an alter­na­tive to Elon Musk’s X.

😵 Er web ved at dø?

Fra Plat­former:

The death of dig­i­tal media has many caus­es, includ­ing the inep­ti­tude of its fun­ders and man­agers. But today I want to talk about anoth­er poten­tial rifle on the fir­ing squad: gen­er­a­tive arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence, which in its capac­i­ty to strip-mine the web and repur­pose it as an input for search engines threat­ens to remove one of the few pil­lars of rev­enue remain­ing for pub­lish­ers.

📧 Nyhedsbreve: Sådan undgår du spam-mapperne hos Gmail og Yahoo

Fra Media Mak­ers Meet:

Today (1st Feb, 2024), changes by Gmail and Yahoo will bring a par­a­digm shift in how emails are han­dled, aim­ing to enhance user expe­ri­ence, pri­va­cy, and secu­ri­ty. Media organ­i­sa­tions which fre­quent­ly con­tact their audi­ence at their Gmail and Yahoo email accounts, may risk their domain being list­ed as spam if the fol­low­ing advice is not con­sid­ered.

🤔 Analyse: Apples App Store efter EU-afgørelse

Fra Ben Evans:

The EU has final­ly made Apple redesign the App Store, 15 years after we start­ed argu­ing about it, and no-one is hap­py with the result. In the next few years there’ll be a lot of shout­ing and some giant fines, but in the end, noth­ing much will change.

🎱 8 tips til din prisstrategi

Fra The Audi­encers:

Price is the biggest lever for any sub­scrip­tion com­pa­ny, but most com­pa­nies don't have a pric­ing strat­e­gy... At least that's what Flo­ri­an Bauer says who, with his con­sult­ing com­pa­ny Voca­tus, has been help­ing com­pa­nies find the right prices and pack­ages for 25 years. Instead, deci­sion-mak­ers often trust their gut feel­ing, copy their com­peti­tors' prices or add a per­cent­age to their costs. In this episode of Sub­scribe Now, Flo­ri­an explains why none of these are good ideas and how you can do it bet­ter.

👩‍💻 JP lancerer forsidealgoritme

Fra Medi­aWatch:

Algo­rit­men er blevet udviklet i et samar­be­jde mellem medi­ets plat­form­steam og for­side-pro­duk­t­team og kom­biner­er forskel­lige bruger­da­ta med bl.a. en såkaldt redak­tionel vægt­ningss­core, hvor redak­tio­nen vil angive den ”redak­tionelle og pub­licis­tiske vægt” af en giv­en artikel på en skala fra et til fem.

😢 Google lukker web-cache

Fra Ars Tech­ni­ca:
