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.

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."

It's clear that most users are not aware of the detail of the advertising profile that Facebook has on them.
