Have a hashtag in your Instagram bio?
If you want it to be a clickable link both in the mobile App and on the webapp you will need to use all lower case.
People often use Camel case for hashtags to make them more readable, but if you do so for hashtags in you Instagram bio the hashtag will NOT be clickable on your profile when viewed using a web browser.
Most people are not aware of this because they use Instagram just with the mobile App.

Twitter is working on adding audio "Spaces" to Communities.
Sounds like Admin only. Hopefully the admin will be able to also divvy out this option for moderators too. Otherwise it'll have pretty sparse usage I feel.

What public Telegram channels (with comments activated), do you subscribe to?
I'm interested specifically in seeing ones which have good engagement levels.
Obviously I'd prefer to see ones not related to bitcoin or sex etc.
Know any? Share in the comments!

Visibility, for your Twitter Circle tweets, is retroactive.
Meanig any new account you add to your Twitter Circle can see any / all past tweets you have published to your Circle.

"Twitter Circle is a way to send tweets to select people ..."
No. No it's not. It's a way to share tweets with a select group of people.
"Send" implies a tweet is sent-to a person, perhaps alerting that person that they have received a message.
"Share with" would be better. No?

What has Instagram got against capitalisation? 🤷♂️
I dunno, but if you have any hashtags in your bio or link to a hashtag results page anywhere on the web, then you should be aware that Instagram does not play well with capitalisation.
Any link to a hashtag page with a capital in the URL will return a not found / error page when being accessed on the web.
Example:
......explore/tags/MyEhrenfeld
Will fail in a browser.
......explore/tags/myehrenfeld
Will work in a browser.
I guess it's not a huge issue for most people, just an irritation for those this might affect.
Any idea why Instagram hates capitalisation?

Who to add to your Twitter Circle 🤔
Twitter gave all Twitter users access to Twittter Circle at the end of August. You can add up to 150 accounts to your Circle. And when you share a tweet with your Circle only those accounts can see it or respond.
Sounds simple right?
But think a little deeper: you can add any account to your Circle: but unless they are following you what's the point?
Your Circle tweets are private, if people aren't following YOU then these private (non-public) tweets will not be in their Twitter stream, so there's practically zero channce that they will ever see these private tweets.
Should you add your "friends" to your Circle?
Well again, uless they follow you and are a very active Twitter user what would be the point?
There is no notification, "X has shared a private Tweet with you". How are these private tweets ever going to be seen?
Maybe, if you are wanting to use Twitter's Circle feature, you should consider. pinning your first Circle tweet to the top of your profile and then add all your future Circle tweets as part of one long private thread ..... That way at least. people in your Circle have some chance of seeing these private tweets. If, they happen to visit your Twitter profile.
For me it's hard to see a clear use case for Twitter's Circle feature. It seems poorley thought out. The only thing Twitter seems to have thought clearly about is the concious removal of analytics for Circle tweets. So it's impossible to have any understanding as to whether any of the people in your Twitter Circle have seen any of your private Tweets 🤷♂️

Curretly Instagram hashtag pages, on web, are only showing a three-by-three grid of the "top posts" tagged with that hashtag.
Not sure if this has anything to do with yesterday's issues. It'll probably be a while before anyone else notices 🤷♂️

WTF YouTube?!
Not sure why YouTube thinks when a user clicks or taps on a hashtag that they want to see completely unrelated search results 🤷♂️
Google's ability to be really dumb is often surprising.
EDIT: I've take a closer look and it seems that YouTube has completely given up on hashtag pages. If this was communicated anywhere please link me to it. Thanks
EDIT 2: Some hashtags go to the hashtag page. Some, it seems like most, redirect to a search page.

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.
