Twitter testing swipe to like

• Like Tinder
• I think I’d prefer some consistency across channels like double tap to like
• And I’d just love reactions

Twitter testing conversation tools

Instagram demotes some edgy content

• “We have begun reducing the spread of posts that are inappropriate but do not go against Instagram’s Community Guidelines”
• Will still be seen in feed but you will need to scroll further to see it
• sexually suggestive, but doesn’t depict a sex act or nudity
• considered in bad taste, lewd, violent, or hurtful

You can only follow 400 people a day on Twitter now

• Used to be 1000
• That’s still a lot of work
• Cut down on bot follows and spammers

New privacy settings for WhatsApp Groups

• Avoid getting added to groups you don’t want to
• Choose who can invite you
• Going to be more important as businesses adopt
• Doesn’t look like you can ban specific people yet though

LinkedIn allows you to upload presentations and documents

• To the feed
• Share slides from a conference, eBooks, undated brand building content
• Create stuff that doesn’t need an explanation
• Create just for this format on LinkedIN
• Takes up a chunk of space on the page
• Desktop only

Facebook testing double tap reacting and commenting

• Making it more relevant for Instagram people
• A sign of further merging of platforms
• Quicker to leave your feedback feedback
• Do Facebook want to own this gesture?
• Can we expect more engagement?
