On the mobile App Twitter's Tweets & replies tab has started showing tweets from other accounts which the profile has replied to.

To be clear the replies have always shown, what's new is that the parent tweet from a different user is now showing above the reply.

Worth remembering when responding to tweets which you might not want displayed on your profile.
Twitter has improved how "attached" or quoted tweets are displayed, especially when they contain images.

This might allow for some new creative opportunities.

When you add translations to YouTube you are generally best choosing the base language.

This means you are not restricting the translation to a geography. So here for example anyone who had their YouTube language setting set to German would see German. Not just people in Germany.

Add additional variants of a language, where differences occour like "Austrian German" after adding the base language if required.
Some very useful updates to Telegram on Android. Especially the location based updates.
Today is Ford Puma tease day .... Some teases are better than others.

TL;DR: when tweeting video ...
Remember to add a custom thumbnail so you dictate what image is used.

Remember to give the audience further options to interact. Include a LINK so they can find out more, hand-raise, buy etc. Serve a wider audience by using a SmartLink sending users to a page more relevant to them.

This is what YouTube's Premiere option looks like to users if you set an upload to "Premiere".

To make the most of premieres you should set it up well in advance and promote the video page across all your available channels getting as many people as possible to set a reminder.

1 » Reply, really early, to the tweet of somebody famous.

2 » Be lucky enough to be retweeted by somebody famous.

3 » Be someone famous.

4 » Pay.
Most "Best time to publish" information you will come across is pure rubbish as it is not relative to your audience.

There's an exception to that rule though. Twitter's insights in the media studio is relative to you. It shows when your audience is most active on the platform, providing valuable data to help you schedule posts and get seen by your followers.

On Twitter polls think well before you click.

You can't undo your vote afterwards if you change your mind or made an error. 🤔
YouTube community image posts will now preview as square, regardless of what ratio the original image is.

TL;DR - only use square images.

It is now more important than ever to organise related content into consumable playlists.
