A year after his con­tro­ver­sial deci­sion to remove ver­i­fi­ca­tion from pop­u­lar Twit­ter accounts unless they paid a month­ly sub­scrip­tion fee, Elon Musk has thrown users anoth­er curve­ball.

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens ten­denser inden­for medi­er. Det kan være en ny metode eller til­gang, branchen forsøger at tage til sig.

📴 Yahoo køber Artifact — og lukker app'en

Fra The Verge:

Instagram’s co-founders built a pow­er­ful and use­ful tool for rec­om­mend­ing news to read­ers — but could nev­er quite get it to scale. Yahoo has hun­dreds of mil­lions of read­ers — but could use a dose of tech-for­ward cool to sep­a­rate it from all the internet’s oth­er news aggre­ga­tors. And so, the two sides are join­ing forces: Yahoo is acquir­ing Arti­fact, the com­pa­nies announced on Tues­day.

Read­ers must use the Sub­stack app or the Sub­stack site to see con­tent from writ­ers they “fol­low,” and writ­ers have no way of inde­pen­dent­ly reach­ing their “fol­low­ers” — where­as they can email their sub­scribers direct­ly, or, if they tran­si­tion to anoth­er plat­form, can bring those sub­scribers with them. 

🎂 Gmail rundede de 20 år

Fra The Verge:

Gmail rev­o­lu­tion­ized email with fast search and a whole giga­byte of stor­age. But where’s it head­ed next?
