Her finder du historier om eller fra de store sociale platforme, der har en enorm rolle at spille i kontakten mellem udgiver/afsender og modtager.

 


? TV 2 Østjylland deler erfaringer med Facebook-grupper

Det er altid, altid, altid fedt, når nogle vil dele ud af deres erfaringer.

Under overskriften “Vores første (og bestemt ikke sidste) erfaringer med Facebook-grupper” fortæller TV 2 Østjylland om deres erfaringer med at skabe mindre, mere aktive communities.

 


? Facebook hyrer Spiegel-chef: Skal styrke relationer med udgivere/medier

 

That lack of communication with news publishers is one of the areas Doub’s team will focus on, according to people close to the situation. Doub will also aim to be more of a bridge to the U.S., ensuring Facebook’s local European teams are apprised of all forthcoming product and algorithm changes that will affect news publishers, giving publishers more notice and context around why changes are being made, and informing publishers how they can make the most of tools and updates.

? Facebook-advokater: Vi er udgivere

Det her er der sikkert en hel del, der har glædet sig til at høre:

Facebook has long had the same public response when questioned about its disruption of the news industry: it is a tech platform, not a publisher or a media company.

But in a small courtroom in California’s Redwood City on Monday, attorneys for the social media company presented a different message from the one executives have made to Congress, in interviews and in speeches: Facebook, they repeatedly argued, is a publisher, and a company that makes editorial decisions, which are protected by the first amendment.

? Facebook har delt brugerdata med store virksomheder

 

I dokumentet, som er på over 700 sider, kommer det blandt andet frem, at Facebook gennem partnerskaber delte brugerdata med 52 teknologiselskaber, deriblandt en række store aktører som Apple, Microsoft og Amazon, i tillæg til asiatiske selskaber som Huawei, Lenovo og Samsung.

? Hvordan Facebook kom til Myanmar – og skabte kaos

But Facebook’s sprawling bureaucracy and its excitement over the potential of the the Myanmar market appeared to override concerns about the proliferation of hate speech. At the time, the company had just one Burmese speaker based in Dublin, Ireland, to review Burmese language content flagged as problematic, Callan was told.

[…]

To critics of the social media company, the early response to the Mandalay riots were harbingers of the difficulties it would face in Myanmar in the coming years—difficulties that persist to this day: A slow response time to posts violating Facebook’s standards, a barebones staff without the capacity to handle hate speech or understand Myanmar’s cultural nuances, an over-reliance on a small collection of local civil society groups to alert the company to possibly dangerous posts spreading on the platform. All of these reflect a decidedly ad-hoc approach for a multi-billion-dollar tech giant that controls so much of popular discourse in the country and across the world.

? Ups: Facebook-blokering deaktiveret for 800.000 brugere

 

Facebook blames the unblocking glitch on a bug that lasted from May 29 to June 5. This is the second bug confirmed by Facebook in less than a month.

? The Guardians erfaringer med video på Instagram

Two months ago the Guardian started tracking and analyzing its Instagram audience data on a more granular basis, to test what formats and topics it should develop and evolve and what should be scrapped. The upshot: video drives more new followers than static posts, but time and resources spent on creating polished Instagram videos, specifically for Stories, simply aren’t worth the pay-off.

? Få musik på din Instagram-story

 

Instagram Stories are about to get even busier, with the addition of licensed music. Starting today, users will be able to add background music to their posts on their Stories, with thousands of songs offered directly in the app (including actually popular music by artists like Bruno Mars, Demi Lovato, and Maroon 5). Instagram says new songs will be added daily.

? Se, hvem der betaler for Twitter-annoncer

Først gjorde Facebook det, og nu gør Twitter det også. Øger transparensen omkring annoncer på platformen.

Anyone — whether they are a registered Twitter user or not — will be able to see all of the campaigns that an advertiser has run within the past 7 days by searching for that advertiser’s Twitter handle. A Twitter spokesperson told VentureBeat in an email that “given this is our first iteration of this, you can imagine we will look into this and see if we need to adapt [the length of time] in the future.”

Men tiltagene er dog ikke helt nok, skriver VentureBeat også.

?‍? Sådan fungerer Twitter og Facebooks nye annonce-transparens

“Goodbye, dark posts” skriver Digiday:

The transparency centers are part of the companies’ efforts to appease the world (read: government regulators) following Russian trolls using Facebook, Twitter and other online platforms to manipulate U.S. voters during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Both Facebook and Twitter launched new policies for political advertisers, such as registering to run political ads, in May. Here’s what marketers need to know about this step.

Whether you’re a seasoned journalist or just fresh out of uni, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of information you can find through this platform. When I first used Tweetdeck, I knew what I wanted to find but could not make sense of all of those individual search columns.

↔️ Algoritmen bestemmer, derfor lavere YouTube’ere længere videoer

 

YouTube has frustrated digital video creators for not always displaying their videos to the people who subscribe to their channels and for sometimes pulling ads from their videos that people do see. So YouTube stars are increasingly responding by extending the lengths of their videos in order to curry favor with YouTube’s watch-time-minded recommendation algorithm and to be able to feature more ads per video.

? TV 2 Nord vil udfase nyheder uden levende billeder

MediaWatch har talt med Mikael Justesen, direktør for TV 2 Nord i forbindelse med deres artikelserie, ‘Sommer 7’eren’. Her siger han blandt andet:

Vi skal have knækket koden for, hvordan en tv-station med de allerbedste kompetencer inden for det område skifter karakter og bliver en indholdsproducerende enhed med leverancer til alle platforme. […] Vi vil blandt andet i løbet af kort tid udfase rene tekstnyheder på vores hjemmeside og i stedet fokusere 100 pct. på historier, der også er levende billeder til. Det er ikke nogen let øvelse – men vi gør det nu alligevel for at fokusere entydigt på det, vi er bedst til: indhold baseret på levende billeder.

? Halvdelen af Telemundos digitale VM-seere følger med på mobilen

The NBCUniversal broadcaster, which has Spanish-language rights to air every World Cup game in the U.S., said between 48 and 51 percent of its live digital viewers consistently watch the games on their smartphones.

? Podcast-firmaer skal lære af meditations-apps

 

Calm and Headspace are, in purpose and presentation, meditation apps. But strip them down to their technical components and you’ll see that they’re effectively on-demand audio platforms built on strong subscription-first business models. I’d argue they’re the most successful on-demand audio apps in the marketplace right now.

So now, more than 20 years later, VR is coming back to screens. It’s still a symbol of the future, and it’s still the realm of fantasy. But in two new shows, VR’s treatment suggests that society may not have the same appetite for those things as it once did.

? Vil Facebook og Google virkelig hjælpe med at skaffe abonnenter?

 

These initiatives are long in coming, but it’s too soon to pop the Champagne just yet. Both are limited to a handful of publishers — Subscribe with Google rolled out in Aprilwith 17 publishers, while Facebook has been testing its subscription tool with a dozen publishers. Neither has given a time frame for when those tools will be available to all publishers.

? Status på mobildesign anno 2018

Her taler vi ikke om design af mobiltelefoner men om, hvordan du kan designe dine produkter og interfaces, så de fungerer bedst muligt på mobiltelefoner.

Hvis du er inde i det, behøver Luke Wroblewski (der er Product Director hos Google) ingen nærmere introduktion.

? Hvordan kan vi redde internettet?

Internettet skulle gøre verden mindre centraliseret, men det modsatte er sket. I en ‘special report’ sætter The Economist fokus på internettet og dets problemer.

Report’en består af seks artikler:

  1. How to fix what has gone wrong with the internet
  2. The story of the internet is all about layers
  3. Blockchain technology may offer a way to re-decentralise the internet
  4. China has the world’s most centralised internet system
  5. How regulators can prevent excessive concentration online
  6. There is no single solution to making the internet more decentralised

Hvis vi vil forstå, hvad der er galt med internettet, skal vi kigge på Ebay, skriver The New York Times.

 


?? Efter GDPR: Nogle US-medier blokerer stadig EU-brugere

Los Angeles Times fik en del…opmærksomhed, da deres website efter implementeringen af persondataforordningen ikke længere var tilgængeligt for EU-brugere. Det er det stadig ikke:

Major U.S. news sites including the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune are still blocking European visitors more than a month after the enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation.

I øvrigt ser fremtiden ikke alt for lys ud for Los Angeles Times, skriver Nieman Lab.
