Didn't know Twitter does that πŸ€”

Twitter prompts new profile image sharing.

... I don't change my profile image that often πŸ€—

A home for all of your YouTube Clips βœ‚οΈ

Since I first wrote about YouTube Clips there have been a number of small updates.

With this latest update YouTube have added a Clips link to the main navigation which links to a page where you can see all the clips you have made.

πŸ‘‰ youtube.com/feed/clips

What's needed now is the option for channel admins to opt-in (or out) of Clips, both at a channel level and at the individual level.

Twitter starts offering users the ability to earn revenue by selling tickets to their Spaces

I see this as a feature suitable only for the Twitter elite.

Or am I wrong?

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.

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.

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

What do you think?

#YouTube #Feature
Not sure how new (or useful) this is, but you can now search a person's tweets from their Twitter profile.

Introducing: Twitter Reply downvotes

[ Privately downvote low value replies. ]

Nice idea, but will Twitter users take action frequently enough to provide useable data.

Will I? πŸ€” - Will you?

YouTube's videos descriptions have moved

This may be an A/B test, but I'm seeing (on the Youtube desktop site) video description no longer expanding below thge video, but are now displayed to the right.

When the decription is long enough there is an aditional "More" button to expand the decription box further.

I understand the logic of this as the viewer can read the description while the video plays in place, but it feels to me like it's less connected to the videi itself.

Are you seeing this on desktop too?
Whay do you think?

Twitter Communities

This seems like a pretty new Twitter feature.

Are you using Twitter communities?

Instagram Favourites

"Today, we’re introducing Favorites and Following, two new ways to choose what you see in your feed."

My view: A half baked power user feature.

A maximum of fifty accounts can be favourited. That's an abitrarily low numer for power users, who are (mostly) the only users that will use this feature.

Your thoughts?

You can now choose up to three posts or Reels to pin to the top of your Instagram profile.

Had you heard of Twitter Circle before?

Twitter Communities now have separate hashtag pages.

A strange move? From the platform where hashtags started, community hashtags only return results from within the community.

This is how hashtags work in Telegram channels and groups.

Maybe useful for large groups in the future, but also reliant on user behaviour. Useful or not?

Twitter - Leave this conversation

This feature started rolling out earlier this month. This is the first time I've personally used it.

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?

#Twitter #Discussion
It wasn't clear to me previously, nor does it state on Twitter's Circle help page, but the same visibility is applied to replies.
