ℹ️ Hvad er det her?
Hver uge udgiver jeg en opsamling med noget af det bedste indhold, jeg er faldet over i ugens løb indenfor medier, teknologi og det, der ligner.
Tilmeld dig nyhedsbrevet, så sender jeg dig en fin mail, håndskrevet til lejligheden, når der er nyt at læse her på siden:
Bemærk: Du får ikke en mail, så snart, jeg har udgivet nyt – i stedet samler jeg op og sender hyppigst en gang om ugen. Hvis du vil følge med og vide det, så snart, der er nyt skal du følge med via RSS-feed’et.

? The Wall Street Journal slår udviklingsteams sammen
Washington Journal har lagt deres grafik-team og deres interactive-team sammen, så de nu er ca 30 og kalder sig bare “Graphics”. Der skelnes nu mellem et Core team som tager sig af den daglige nyhedsdækning og et Enterprise team, som er dedikeret til større projekter afkoblet fra nyhedsmøllen.

? 3 og andre udbydere må ikke blokere annoncer
Adblocking centralt fra internetudbydernes side strider mod gældende EU-lovgivning, fremgår det af de netop offentliggjorte retningslinjer for netneutralitet fra EU.
Dermed sættes foreløbigt en stopper for flere teleselskabers annoncerede tiltag om at tilbyde adblocking til deres kunder, uden at de skal installere særlige programmer på mobilen.

? Hønen og ægget i web-tv
De kommercielle forventninger til web-tv bliver ikke indfriet, men hvem er det, der hænger i bremsen? Er det annoncørerne, der er for lang tid om at omstille sig, eller er det medierne, der mangler at generere nok trafik til, at formatet bliver interessant for annoncører?

? Ny Facebook-algoritme sender falsk historie til tops
Earlier this year, Facebook denied criticisms that its Trending feature was surfacing news stories that were biased against conservatives. But in an abrupt reversal, the company fired all the human editors for Trending on Friday afternoon, replacing them with an algorithm that promotes stories based entirely on what Facebook users are talking about. Within 72 hours, according to the Washington Post, the top story on Trending was about how Fox News icon Megyn Kelly was a pro-Clinton “traitor” who had been fired (she wasn’t).

Overall, 87 percent of news organizations monitor website metrics like page views or unique visitors, according to the survey of 525 editors and directors from U.S. newspapers, television and radio stations and news websites.

? AP klar med ny app
The free app lets users personalize their news experience in a big way so they can stay on top of breaking stories of special interest to them. They can do this by customizing their news feed, choosing to follow specific topics and newsmakers as they appear in developing stories— whether it’s Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan or Beyonce— and setting up news alerts by subject.

? Mød The Telegraphs ‘Roboblogger’
Der har længe været snak om at bruge robotter i journalistik, oplagt til at rapportere fra sports-events som fodboldkampe. Nu er britiske The Telegraph i gang – her kan du se en kamp dækket af deres Roboblogger.
? Bots fungerer bedre uden samtale
At Kik, we remain bullish on bots, but we’ve noticed the same thing everyone else has: so far, there has been no killer bot. This is not yet the world that the early hype promised. But then again, we’re only four months into this. The bot ecosystem is at an earlier point now than the App Store was before Apple introduced in-app purchases. The game lasts longer than the first pitch.

? Er der overhovedet penge i native advertising?
I have long wondered whether native advertising would do what advertising is supposed to do: drive sales. What is the efficacy of replacing five-word banners with 500-word stories? Perhaps we are beginning to find out.

? Prøver Apple nu igen at være sociale?
Google og Apple er gode til vidt forskellige ting, men de har det tilfælles, at ingen af dem er sådan rigtig gode til det sociale. Nu prøver Apple angiveligt igen:
Sources told Bloomberg that Apple is working on a video recording/editing app that would be similar in functionality to Snapchat, though there’s no mention of disappearing or self-destructing content in the report. Instead, the app is supposed to be easy to use with one hand for video recording, and users will be able to swipe between various filters or add drawings.

? Insider-tip: Sådan bliver du ansat hos Google
Here at Google, we’ve intentionally broadened the number of schools where we actively recruit, from 75 a few years ago to 305 today. We’re as interested in English or philosophy majors as we are in computer science degree holders. We don’t really care if you have a 4.0 GPA, and we’re not interested in whether you can figure out how many golf balls fit inside a 747.

? Hvorfor siger folk op? Og hvornår?
En af de vigtigste opgave for en leder er at forhindre, at de ansatte forlader firmaet. Ny forskning har kigget på, hvorfor folk forlader en virksomhed [Harvard Business Review]. De umiddelbare årsager bør ikke overraske nogen:
In general, people leave their jobs because they don’t like their boss, don’t see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a better gig (and often higher pay); these reasons have held steady for years.
Der er dog også faktorer, som arbejdsgiveren ikke er herre over, såsom de ting, der sker i personens liv, for eksempel stiger ‘job hunting’ med 12% umiddelbart før fødselsdage og med 16% efter skole-‘reunions’.

Whether you work as an illustrator or graphic designer, web developer or 3D modeller, new design tools are being released all the time, many of them free.

⌚ Hvordan var det at arbejde på Apple Watch med Ive?
Apple quietly acquired Messerschmidt’s startup in 2010 (after Messerschmidt sent Steve Jobs an unsolicited email, but that’s another story). Afterwards, Messerschmidt was placed on the Apple Watch team, where he led a group charged with architecting new sensor technologies for the device. The heart rate sensors on the Apple Watch we know today are the creation of Messerschmidt and his team.

? A/B-test direkte i AMP
Det er smart at teste et nyt design eller feature via en såkaldt A/B-test eller split-test. Her kan man teste flere forskellige variationer og se, hvilken der er mest populær hos brugerne.
Denne funktionalitet er nu direkte integreret ind i Googles Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP), og det lyder rimelig smart. Læs om det på den officielle AMP-blog. Der er også en teknisk dokumentation [AMP Project], du ikke bør snyde dig selv for.

Recommendations are formed around uncachable resources, poorly set headers and large resources. Now that we’ve started on this engine, we’re excited at the further analysis we can bring you in the future.

? Bruger du web-fonts? Tjek ‘font-display’
Web-baserede skrifttyper (som for eksempel Google Fonts) er virkelig smart; du kan få tekst i en masse skrifttyper, og dine besøgende/brugere behøver ikke have disse skrifttyper installeret.
Men web-fonts har også en svaghed: De kan være lang tid om at loade. Og hvad skal der ske i ventetiden? Skal teksten være usynlig? Skal den vises med en anden skrifttype og så udskiftes? Eller..?
Det kan du nu styre i CSS med ‘font-display’, som du kan læse mere om hos Web Designer Depot. Bemærk, at det endnu ikke er alle browsere, der understøtter det – det kan du læse mere om i artiklen.
? 8 smarte ting du kan med CSS-funktioner
