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

I've made a video about how Telegram comments are REPLIES in a CONNECTED GROUP.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/AzT9o0KstAo

These are I think the most illuminating screenshots from the video. From left to right: the channel post, eight comments, eight replies in the connected group.

This might be the easiest way to see and understand that there are in fact no such thing as channel comments. Channel comments are a threaded discussion view of REPLIES in the connected group.

Once understood it's a pretty simple comment solution that has some interesting benifits.

What are your most recent social media frustrations or revelations?

I've started writing a blog post titled: "How Twitter Works"

As far as user confusion goes what one point would you like to see covered in the article?

Details of the YouTube Shorts Fund

A new video details how creators on YouTube could be offered payments of between $100 to $10000 each month, for creating popular and unique #Shorts

The most interesting thing here I think is that it's open to all creators, including those outside the YouTube partner program.

YouTube has new pop-out cards on the desktop site.

Why use REPLY on Telegram?

I've tried to keep the explination simple.

Post PRETTY messages 🙏

Text looks so much better when ugly links don't get in the way.
Don't you think?
