The Social Skinny

Chelsea Blackstock January 2, 2018

Social Media is always changing, and staying on top of news and trends is one of the only ways to stay relevant in this industry. To help with that I have compiled the latest in social news.

Here's the skinny: The Library of Congress has admitted defeat on the attempt to archive all public tweets after Twitter upped the platforms character count. Several different reporters have used this as evidence that Twitter is irrelevant. Instagram will now be adding to your feed recommended posts. This is the first major change to the feed since Instagram changed to an algorithm in 2016. Instagram hopes that this change will help users find and follow more users on Instagram. Snapchat is fighting so hard to continue to stay relevant. They are rumored to be considering a web browser version while also looking at adding options to share content outside of the platform. OKCupid usership is tanking since they made the decision to switch to real names.

Bittersweet goodbye to my favorite Chick-fil-A. Thanks Woodlawn Square for allowing me to grow, learn, and teach. Thank you for being a second home / safe haven and bringing together lifelong friends. Only 6 more days until demolition so make sure to say goodbye to the Christmas angel that is definitely still in the ceiling somewhere, the magician who is also in the ceiling, the outdoor playground, all the trays we broke while sliding down the playground slide, the basement that sometimes floods when it rains, the cabinets that we hid in while playing sardines, the sketchy basement stairs that definitely had snakes, the other basement stairs that I broke my toe on, all the backdoor sunset pictures, the Christmas lights that are probably still on the roof, the freezer where my cow took breaks, all the ice we stocked, the outdoor shed that never locked, and so much more. Woodlawn, you have been good to us. #ChelsfilA #cfaonjf
