📚 Københavns Biblioteker har det bedste ikke-kommercielle SoMe-team

Fra Mediet Markedsføring:

Københavns Biblioteker kom ikke sovende til sejren som årets SoMe-team. Det krævede tid, sved og en evne til ikke at tage sig selv for alvorligt.

🤔 Algoritme-feeds kom aldrig til at fungere for medier

Fra Fast Company:

Twitter and Threads aren’t meeting this news-driven moment—and Bluesky is showing the power of letting humans decide what they want to see.

✨ YouTube deler de største trends fra 2024

As 2024 draws to a close, the team is releasing its latest report, which takes a close look at the end-of-year lists across 12 countries. These lists, which include Trending Topics, Top Creators, Songs, and Songs used in Shorts, look at the moments, channels, and music that broke through on YouTube this year.

✨ …og det gør TikTok også

In 2024, we were very demure, reveled in brat summer, and adored a cheeky pygmy hippo, all while supporting businesses of all sizes that significantly contribute to the US economy.

🧹 Meta: Vi fjerner for meget indhold

‘Too often, harmless content gets taken down, or restricted, and too many people get penalized unfairly,’ says the company’s president.

🤳 Vil TikTok snart teste mini-apps?

Last month, in my outline of what’s coming next for the major social platforms in 2025, I noted that TikTok may look to implement “Mini Programs”, similar to what it already has in the Chinese version of the app (called “Douyin”).

🤔 Kan Bluesky rejse nok penge?

And while Bluesky is seeking to offer an alternative approach to social media interaction, which will eventually give users more control over moderation rules and parameters, at least for now, it’ll still have to abide by the same rules as everybody else. Which could pose significant challenges for the fledgling app.

🙁 Chikane af kvinder har aldrig været værre på X

Fra Vox:

In late November, a woman posted a photo of herself proudly holding her PhD thesis along with the announcement that she had successfully defended her dissertation. “Thrilled to say I passed my viva with no corrections and am officially PhDone,” she wrote. What followed was a case study in how the online right targets and harasses those who don’t fit into the narrow — and often conflicting — standards they’ve formulated for women.

LinkedIn has rolled out a new option to add an auto-revolving slideshow of images as the banner on your profile, which could be another way to attract more interest to your LinkedIn presence.

🎥 Medier har taget vertikal video til sig

Fra Nieman Lab:

News organizations are building vertical video carousels for their homepages and apps, embedding vertical videos in stories, and having their video journalists produce both horizontal and vertical content — as well as asking reporters to present their stories on camera. “Prestige TikToks,” The Atlantic’s Charlie Warzel called them last month.

BBC News has overtaken Apple News as the biggest news app in the UK in the year since Press Gazette’s last annual ranking.

Fra Fast Company:

At long last, Spotify Wrapped is debuting worldwide to users today, and it might just have pulled a page out of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour playbook. This year’s Wrapped is a bold, glitchy, techno-inspired romp—and it’s all about each users’ ultra-specific personal eras.

👀 OnlyFans er nu tilgængelig i Kina

Fra CNN:

News that OnlyFans is now accessible in China has been welcomed online. Users posting on social media platform Weibo are joking that the government is offering job opportunities for fresh graduates struggling in a grim employment market, suggesting they could start selling content on the site.

Under valgkampen i 2022 afprøvede Ekstrabladet.dk kunstig intelligens på en testgruppe af læsere. Resultatet blev, at de blev overeksponeret med artikler om højrefløjen. Problemets omfang er dog minimalt, siger AI-chef

🤝 Perplexity i partnerskab med 12 udgivere

Fra MediaPost:

Perplexity has pulled in a dozen new partners to its Publishers’ Program, claiming that it is contributing to a fair and open information ecosystem–quite a PR coup for the AI-driven search engine.

😬 ChatGPT har udfordringer ved at gengive medieindhold

Fra Columbia Journalism Review:

But while the company presents inclusion in its search as an opportunity to “reach a broader audience,” a Tow Center analysis finds that publishers face the risk of their content being misattributed or misrepresented regardless of whether they allow OpenAI’s crawlers.

💸 OpenAI overvejer annoncer

Fra Axios:

OpenAI’s potential plan to incorporate ads in products like ChatGPT is hardly surprising — but should still serve as a wake-up call for AI makers and users.

🧐 Derfor kunne du ikke få ChatGPT til at fortælle om David Mayer

Fra The Guardian:

ChatGPT’s developer, OpenAI, has provided some clarity on the situation by stating that the Mayer issue was due to a system glitch. “One of our tools mistakenly flagged this name and prevented it from appearing in responses, which it shouldn’t have. We’re working on a fix,” said an OpenAI spokesperson

😬 Se, hvad Google kan se i dine billeder

Fra Wired:

People can upload any photo to the website, which is then sent to a Google Cloud computer vision program that writes a startlingly thorough three-paragraph description of it. (Ente prompts the AI model to document small details in the uploaded images.)
