Instagram Follow Limit
I didn't know there was a limit to the number of accounts one can follow on Instagram.
Not that I'm likely to bump up against that. How about you?

COMMUNITY
1. a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.
2. the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common.
Keep the idea of community at the forfront of your mind with your communication.
Once you have helped others to feel this one idea; then you have a community.

Any "location" that becomes a popular posting location tends towards showing posts which do not seem to be about the location, but rather reflect certain aspects (mostly narcissism?) of human nature.
Is this unavoidable? Could the platforms do better? Should they do better?
What are your views?

Want your YouTube videos to be viewed off of YouTube?
You will have seen that social media platforms are adding links to Corona information for posts which "talk about" Covid-19: YouTube has been adding this Covi-19 chin.
One consequence, which might not be obvious, is that videos such as this will not play in the embedded player. People will need to click through to watch on YouTube, where the chin is visible.
So, unless your video is really about Covid-19 do not mention Covid or Corona in your video titles or descriptions. As doing so removes the external opportunity to see.

I recorded this video for the members of the English Cologne Telegram GROUP I manage, but I'm sharing it here because it's more of a social media discussion around how Telegram channel comments work with a connected group and how the discussion widget can be used with channel posts to surface group threads as webpage comments.
The video is a bit rambling and is unedited, but may help if you're not fully up to speed with Telegram channels and groups.
If you have any questions just ask 🤓

Can you name a better micro-blogging platform than Telegram?
Media sharing, text formatting, ephemeral posting, file sharing, voice chats ... the list goes on.

Messaging App Signal have their Facebook Ads account blocked after trying to run Instagram Ads which highlight to users the data that is being used to target them.
"Facebook is more than willing to sell visibility into people’s lives, unless it’s to tell people about how their data is being used. Being transparent about how ads use people’s data is apparently enough to get banned; in Facebook’s world, the only acceptable usage is to hide what you’re doing from your audience."
Signal blog link.
It's clear that most users are not aware of the detail of the advertising profile that Facebook has on them.

Social Profiles - Information Density
In my recent blog post "You are crap at social media ... and it shows" there is a section where I suggest looking to see how "information dense" a users social profiles are. So here is an example of how I have packed Twitter's relatively restrictive profile section with as much relevant information motion as possible.
My current social project, which these three profiles are involved with is "MyStadtKöln" so I have included the community hashtag.
I've also written up an article in English to try to encourage other community members who are engaging around the hashtag (so far daily on Instagram) to show their community support by also adopting the tag in their social profiles.
Does this example help illustrate profile information density?

A home for all of your YouTube Clips ✂️
Since I first wrote about YouTube Clips there have been a number of small updates.
With this latest update YouTube have added a Clips link to the main navigation which links to a page where you can see all the clips you have made.
👉 youtube.com/feed/clips
What's needed now is the option for channel admins to opt-in (or out) of Clips, both at a channel level and at the individual level.
