Although the new menu item just takes people to the Revue site.

Tweets from followed lists showing in Home stream

This is new. The screenshot shows a tweet from a Twitter list showing in the users home stream.

To be clear the user is not following the person, the person is included in a list (made by a different account) that the user has followed and pinned.

This is sort of like tweets from Topics one is following, which can also appear in the home stream.

Watch on YouTube πŸ€”

I've this "Watch on YouTube" overlay, in the bottom left corner of some YouTube video embeds.

When clicked it opens the watch page with the variable "emb_imp_woyt" at the end of the URL.

I can't find any info on it and the overlay has now (for me) stopped showing.

Anyone know anything about this?

Geo-tag OR Hashtag?

YouTube currently seems to allow you to Geo-tag a video OR hashtag a video, but not do both.

Bizzarly it seems that although YouTube's instructions with hashags are to add them in your video title or description, it appears that inclusion on the hashtag landing page is dependant on the hastag showing in the video chin, the small space below the video just above the video title.

The chin is where any geo-tag you have applied to the video shows and applying a geo-tag prevents any applied hashtags from showing in the chin.

So, it's really a choice of either or and for me in this use-case I dropped the geo-tag so that the video does get indexed for the hashtag page.

I'll seek some clarity from YouTube about this, as it would be helpful to be able to geo-tag AND use hashtags.

Facebook - Instagram Live Rooms

To start a Live Room, swipe left and pick the Live camera option. Then, add a title and tap the Rooms icon to add your guests. You’ll see people who have requested to go live with you, and you can also search for a guest to add. When you start a Live Room, you’ll remain at the top of the screen when you add guests. As a broadcaster, you can add up to three guests at once or one by one.

Guests’ followers can also be notified.

YouTube is pushing Shorts on mobile

I see that the mobile view for channels is starting to heavily push "Shorts" which is still in beta.

To take advantage you just need to upload videos which are under on min long and in a vertical format.

This is quite an interesting article.
Prediction

Ephemeral drop-in audio chat, Γ  la Clubhouse, will come (soon) to Telegram channels.

Suggested Posts

Instagram putting suggested posts in the stream directly before you start seeing old stuff is extremely well thought out and affective.

I hate it.

YOUR Instagram Hashtags

It's something I assume everyone knows and then people's behaviour reminds me that they might not.

On Instagram hashtags you add to YOUR posts, or in comments on your posts, will return in search.

Hashtags others add in comments on posts which are not theirs do NOT return in a search for that hashtag.
