Something I've asked on Twitter.

Which do you think will win out? a
... And why?
YouTube's videos descriptions have moved

This may be an A/B test, but I'm seeing (on the Youtube desktop site) video description no longer expanding below thge video, but are now displayed to the right.

When the decription is long enough there is an aditional "More" button to expand the decription box further.

I understand the logic of this as the viewer can read the description while the video plays in place, but it feels to me like it's less connected to the videi itself.

Are you seeing this on desktop too?
Whay do you think?

- TWO QUESTIONS -

1: What do you expect from others on social media?

To clarify, I'm specifically asking about interactions. If you reply on Twitter or leave a comment to a video on YouTube for example; what is your expectation relating to that action. Did you do it just to make a thought concrete, or is your expectation that the person you are directing that thought towards will see and possibly respond to your communication.

2. What can others expect from YOU on social media?

For example personally I aim to be (as) available for discord across digital channels (as possible).
There are technical hurdles across platforms which make this more or less possible. For example Twitter replies or mentions come through as notificatons: I have NOT muted the App. But if people choose a direct message as their avenue to connect with me there then I am likely to be delayed because Twitter does not notify of DMs from users you are not following. But I do not restrict the natural available throughput from any App.

A different example would be that today a person applogised for not replying to me on Telegram because although they had communicated with me on Telegram they did not allow to App to notify them of responses. Relying instead on choosing to open the App to see if there was something there.

I suspect that most people choose their favourite app. Letting that app notify them and quieting others.

But I'm interested to hear both what you expect from others and what others can expect from you.

More YouTube layout tests

Last time I showed how YouTube was testing moving the video description from below the video to the right hand column. Now YouTube are also toying with moving the comments section too.

Accessing the description seems particularly difficult, with just a tiny clickable area to launch the description pannel. Comments gets a more visible clickable pill next to a new "subscribe" layout.

Thoughts?

Is anyone else seeing these A/B tests?

Instagram Favourites

"Today, we’re introducing Favorites and Following, two new ways to choose what you see in your feed."

My view: A half baked power user feature.

A maximum of fifty accounts can be favourited. That's an abitrarily low numer for power users, who are (mostly) the only users that will use this feature.

Your thoughts?
