Twitter edit history ...

So ... if you reply to a tweet before it's edited your reply still references. the older version, with an edit link in the old tweet which then shows the newer version.

I'm guessing embeds, of the pre-edited version will work in the same way 🤷‍♂️

New Facebook (pages in the mobile App) requires you to switch back to your personal profile before opening an external link and allowing you to leave Facebook. 🙄

Presumably for tracking.

Are you involved in the party scene in Cologne?

If you've been sent here via a link it's because I would really like to talk with you to understand how you are currently using Telegram, and (probably) make some suggestions as to how to better utilise the App.

Feel free to ask me any related questions in the comments. 🙏
Twitter appears to be working on a "Super Follows" community feature.

This would make sense from Twitter's perspective. Super Follows is a paid feature, and they need to move as much revenue generation as possible away from advertising.

It will also be easy to "manage" as the use-case is relatively small but high profile.

If true this would hopefully also imply permanence for the standard community feature.

In this blog post I dive a liitle deeper into how Twitter's community hashtags are different to hashtags outside of a Twitter community.

And give a couple of examples of how one might strategise that difference.

YouTube starts rollinng out Handles

"A YouTube handle is a new way for people to find you and connect with you. Unlike channel names, handles are unique to each creator, making it easier for you to establish a distinct presence on YouTube."

Learn more and set yours up.

Why would anyone "protect" their tweets?

Originally asked on Twitter.

This might at first seem like a dumb question, but ...

When you "protect" your tweets:
You can reply to anyone on Twitter, but those accounts will not see your reply.
You can mention any account in a Tweet, but that account will not see or be notified of your mention.

So .... especially now everyone has Twitter Circle, why would anyone protect their tweets? 🤔

Remember video responses on YouTube?
.... Which were dumped way back in 2013.

Well it seems #Shorts have brought back a way to respond, at least for videos 60 seconds and under: use cut.
Though you can only use around five seconds from the Short you are responding to.

Easy? Try it out and let me know 👍

Twitter's community manager for their Community feature has been laid off.

The future of the community feature? Unknown at this point.

Should I use mine?

Who sees REPLIES to Twitter Circle tweets?

It's not clear to me who sees replies to Twitter Circle tweets. Are they like replies to protected tweets, which are public (when the accounts tweets are public). Or do replies to a Twitter Circle tweet have the same visibility applied as the Twitter Circle tweet?

I guess I could test this, but does anyone already know?

Seeing stuff like this makes me want to pull my hair out.

But can you see why?

#Twitter
On April 1st all Twitter's "legacy" verification check marks are set to disappear.

Are you bothered?
Currently when you publish on Twitter it is possible to change "Who can reply" from "Everyone" to "People you follow" or "Only people you mention".

It seems to me that it would make much more sense for the middle option to be "Your followers" instead.

Thoughts?

Which social media platform is best understood by its users?

If any 🤷‍♂️
Not sure when this changed but a hashtag search on Twitter now returns standard search results alongside the hashtag results.

If that isn't clear for example this hashtag search returns results which contain the text "not Instagram" alongside hashtag results.

As a secondary thought it also looks like search results are available only to logged in users.

#Twitter
Instagram stops allowing you to see "Recent" hashtagged photos. Now you have the option to see "Recent top posts" instead.

I guess this is to combat hashtag spam, but the question is will it show all genuinely tagged images? 🤷‍♂️

When did Facebook last innovate a new feature themselves, rather than copy or steal?
