'Age-Restricted' - YouTube
YouTube is now flagging content as part of the upload process and the algorythim may be a little keen. I had my latest video automatically 'age-restricted' though I cannot see how or why it may have triggered the algorythim.
The communication I recieved states that "our team has reviewed your content" though that cannot be the case; it has to be algorythimic I'd say.
If you're over 18 and logged into YouTube you can view the video here. I'd be interested to hear your best guess; what do you think could have triggered the flag?

Social Media Potential
Telegram channels strike me as the most flexible, feature rich social media opportunity currently available.
First up I'm interested in whether you agree or dissagree?
Having spent a fair amount of time thinking of fun and interesting ways a channels could be used, the only thing I remain confused about is how and why the normal social media crowd seem to have totally missed Telegram as an opportunity. 🤔

Let's talk about replies on Telegram
Why?
Well, there are a number of reasons but mostly because people seem to think that a message is a reply when it comes after a previous message. This is not the case.
Sometimes you may not need to think about your response as a reply.
For example, this channel post; if you respond with a comment your comment is a reply automatically. It's a reply in the connected group. It just looks like youve responded with a comment.
If you respond to a previous comment, by leaving a following comment chronologically, that comment is not technically a reply to the previous comment is is another reply to the channel post (in the connected group).
When communicating in large groups, unless your message is totally new you should always respond with a relpy. If you don't then the context of your message can be lost to others. That might not be obvious to you as you are seeing messages displayed chronologically, but any public message can be viewed in an isolated fashion, or as part of a "discussion" thread: but only where people have actually used reply.
Of the people I communicate with on Telegram many of them claim to understand how replies work, but none of them actually implement replies. Either they do not understand, or they have not paid enough attention.
Do you use reply?

Do they see what I see?
Most social media professionals don't see ....
Branding.
Attribution (optional).
Text formatting.
Text hyperlinks.
Post Editing.
Much more ....
Possibly most interestingly, non-algorythmic message delivery.
Meaning subscribers will be notified by default. Consider that one point in comparison to whether followers on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc will see any post a brand makes.
If you want to examine the post the screenshot is from you can find it on the @InsideFord channel here.

Telegram (left) - Twitter (right)
It's my last full week working for Ford Europe. Today I've handed over ownership of the @InsideFord Telegram channel and my expectations are that it will most likely be left to stagnate.
Why would that happen? Basically I failed to help others see any opportunity. Not sure how much that is down to my faliure or other people's general dissinterest.
Try to see how these two updates, which look basically the same, differ from one another.

Twitter's live audio feature "Spaces" is rolling out to more users.
Anyone can join, but only a small sample of iOS users can currently create a Space.
Here's a help page.
Hopefully this'll knock Clubhouse on the head.
There are more features coming for Spaces apparently. Currently Telegram is ahead as far as features go, but that has been largely ignored by the media.
Are you excited about getting access to Twitter Spaces?

After my final day for Ford Europe yesterday I have removed @InsideFord and @TeamFordzilla from the My Telegram Channels list.
Maybe those channels will be well used in by my former collegues the future, maybe they won't.
In terms of my community experimentation my focus is now mostly on the German language project @MyStadtKoeln + @EnglishCologne
Should I be able to pursuade enough people to get involved with that it could then grow into something interesting.
Let's see!

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.
