Was momentarily excited to see my first follower on Google Maps 🤔

Yes, it's what you think.

Will Maps ever be interesting from a social perspective?

Why is Twitter so crap at local?

If you've ever clicked on the location a Tweet was made from, for example Germany/Cologne, you'll know that what you get is not realtime and not comprehensive.

I'm not going to spout on about how easy this would be to fix, it would likely be a ton of work.

But should Twitter decide to make improvements how do you think it should work?

I'd suggest that it should be implemented in a similar way to how Instagram does locations.

places/Country/City/Neighbourhood/Business

Where any part of the URL would show current Tweets for that place: be it at the country, city or neighbourhood level.

What do you think?

Most businesses these days seem to only have, or at least promote, Facebook social channels on their website. WHY?!

It's easy yes, but Facebook's history of first showing and then reducing the
visibility of content to your channel followers makes it clear that they are essentially paid channels only.

Surely one would wish to maximise non-paid exposure for ones business?

What have you been trying recently that's new on social media?

Are your shared links fugly? 🤪

I've just uploaded a short "How to Hyperlink text in Telegram Messenger" video on my YouTube channel.

Click or tap the hyperlinked text in this specific channel post to watch it 👍

Don't share 🤢 ugly 🤮 links. HYPERLINK your text and share 😍 beutiful links 😍 instead.

STRATEGY

The most overused and least understood word in the digital space.

I discovered this agency while walking around @MyBelgischesViertel which I am launching today.

I looked up their website and discovered their Twitter handle, which is pretty new and was not visible enough for me to have previously found for inclusion on the list of Cologne agencies I have built for @EnglishCologne

I'll say hello on Twitter, see if they respond. See if they follow the list maybe, or if they are just crap at social media.

Making short, under a minute, videos specifically for YouTubes expanding #Shorts program can get you a big bump in reach.

But, get the video hook in early. There is a more rapid attention drop-off.

#YouTube

A huge percentage of websites I have visited recently seem to have only Facebook and Instagram listed as social channels. So ... Facebook. 🤪

I can't judge whether they have given up with anything else or that they are unaware of anything else.

Why would businesses promote just their participation of channels with the worst organic reach possible?

Replies to comments on Telegram channels

Because most of my comment interactions are with comments on my channels it's taken a while for me to experience a reply to a comment I have made on a channel where I'm not owner or admin of the connected group in which the channel comments are hosted.

It basically all works as I had expected.

A"Replies" chat showing replies to comments I have left on channel posts, where I am not a member of the connected group.

Do you like observing when numbers seem special?

After just a short run Twitter's Fleets feature is being axed according to the Verge.

Surprised?

YouTube Clips Goes Mainstream

We first spotted clips being tested a while back, then a place for your clips was integrated into the menu.

Now we have a proper feature lanch video with fancy graphics and details of how channels can opt out of their content being clipped.

Satisfied? How else could this feature be improved?
EDIT: Why you don't have this feature yet.

Reddit - Near You

If you're a Reddit user you may have noticed the "Top Growing Communities" card which will show top growing communities for topics you might be interested in.

One of those topics is location with a list of top growing "Near You" communities.

This is a neat feature and if you manage a subreddit that is at all connected with a particular location you'll want to make sure you have updated your your community settings to indicate the location your subreddit is related to.

It's under:
Mod tools > Community Settings > Get discovered by local redditors
