Mapping the Social Media Landscape [Infographic]

While Facebook is the dominant player in the social media space, it’s worth noting the major influence that Chinese social apps also have in their respective regions, which we’ve seen expand more recently via various apps – primarily TikTok – posing a level of threat to Facebook’s gold on the market. Of course, Facebook – now Meta – is making a play to control the next stage of digital connection, in the theoretical metaverse that will provide all-new ways to facilitate interaction and engagement. If and how that comes to fruition will be a key element to watch, but it’s interesting to consider the broader social media landscape, and where things are placed in the final stages of the year.

How Many Instagram Hashtags Should You REALLY Use?

One of the most important steps in building trust in a relationship is consistency. …someone should probably mention that to Instagram. The folks over at Instagram’s HQ have been shaking things up as of late. The corporate-backed Instagram Creators account recently recommended that it’s best practice to only use 3 to 5 hashtags per post.Source: @creators Let me repeat that: Three! To! Five! While this seems like an innocuous hot tip, it’s a perplexing thing to hear directly from a platform that allows you to use up to 30 hashtags in each post. This revelation from someone we trusted just begs so many questions: Was this a test? Are you tricking us? If 3 to 5 is the amount you actually want us to use… why give us the freedom to use 30 tags in the first place? But though the g...

The Basics of NFTs [Infographic]

If you use social media, basically at all, you would have definitely noted the rising interest in NFTs, or ‘non-fungible tokens’, as a vehicle for buying and selling digital artworks.

It’s become a form of in-crowd credibility, even prestige, in some respects. But for those on the outside looking in, it can be difficult to wrap your head around how NFTs actually work, and how they apply to the broader digital connection space.As a basic definition, ‘non-fungible’ means unique, a token that can’t be interchanged for something else.

Why Piggybacking on Your Brand’s Social Posts is Great for Your Career

Did your boss send you to this blog to try and turn you into an employee advocate? Don’t worry, we’ll make it worth your while.

If your organization has an employee advocacy program, they probably told you to get on board because it’s great for the company—and whatever is great for the company is great for you, etc, etc. But you’re probably still on the fence because, let’s be honest, it’s yet another thing piled on top of your already full plate. What do you get out of sharing company-approved social media posts anyway, right? It turns ou...

WhatsApp Adds Option to Speed Up Voice Message Playback

Here's a quick one, which could come in handy for those who communicate via voice messages - and in particular, long voice messages. Today, WhatsApp has added new variable playback speed control options for audio replies.It's pretty straightforward - now, when you get a voice message, you can play it regular 1x speed, or you lean slightly more towards Chipmunk-style voices by cranking the playback to 1.5x, or even 2.0x regular speed. Which, as many have noted, alternative messaging app Telegram has actually enabled its users to do since 2018. Telegram, and another messaging app, Signal, have both gained traction over the past few months due to WhatsApp's controversial privacy policy update, which will enable it to share some data from user transactions with businesses in WhatsApp a...

Twitter Adds Spaces Access via the Web as it Continues to Develop its Audio Social Platform

Twitter has taken another steady leap forward in the evolving audio social sphere by adding Spaces access via the web, meaning that you can now tune into Twitter Spaces from your desktop PC.It's not perfect as yet. I tried to tune into a couple of Spaces and got as far as this screen, which remained stagnant for as long as I waited.But early teething problems aside, the ability to access Spaces on the web is a significant advance, as it not only opens up the option to even more users, but it also enables hosts and speakers to use their PC microphones and audio set-ups, which will lend itself to more professional sounding, higher quality Spaces streams.As you can see in the image above, when you go to join a Space on your PC, you'll first get a preview of the Space, similar to th...

The Complete List of Social Media Holidays (2021 Edition)

Organic reach is pretty hard to find for brands in 2021, with the rare exception of social media holidays. When coupled with the right hashtag, these holidays provide businesses with an occasion to reach a like-minded crowd. Who makes social media holidays up? Some days are the byproducts of marketing campaigns. Some were declared by official organizations such as the United Nations. Others seem to have been manifested by the sheer absurdity of the Internet. Some days have multiple holidays, such as May 7, which happens to be National Beer Day in the United States and World Health Day. Some days are about serious issues, other days are National Just Because Day (August 27). Some are strictly social media holidays, while many are holidays off social media, too.

How The Clubhouse Phenomenon Could be Utilized as a Marketing Strategy

If you don’t happen to be familiar with the unique audio-based social network, Clubhouse, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many haven’t had the chance to use it because they’re either not on an iOS device or they haven’t received an invite. However, it’s likely that marketers will soon wake up en masse to the potential of this platform as a unique opportunity to win new leads and leverage fresh conversions for their business. Despite launching in May 2020, by the end of the year Clubhouse was enjoying having over 600,000 registered users, despite a lack of presence on Android devices and online. (Image: Backlinko) As we can see, in early 2021 Clubhouse downloads have spiraled past six million thanks in no small part to Elon Musk’s advocacy of the platform. The growth of Clubho...

Snapchat Rises to 280 Million Users, Reports Strong Take-Up of TikTok-Like ‘Spotlight’ Option

Snapchat has posted its latest performance update, showing solid increases in both usage and revenue throughout Q1 2021. The numbers will certainly raise some eyebrows, and likely get more social media marketers considering their options on the app. First off, on usage - Snapchat is now being used by 280 million people every day, a 22% increase in year-over-year performance, and the app's biggest increase in its YoY usage growth in more than 3 yearsAs you can see here, while Snapchat usage increased in all regions, the app once again saw its biggest growth in the 'Rest of World' segment, which is largely due to the company's ongoing investment in more localized content and improved language support options.Snap has seen particularly strong growth in India of late, with its Android...

Do Photos With People Perform Better on Instagram?

No matter how religiously you follow updates to the Instagram algorithm, getting your posts in front of people isn’t going to do you much good if they don’t actually like what they’re seeing. Social media is ultimately for people, not robots — which means getting true engagement requires appealing to what people like. We already know that visually beautiful or interesting content performs best here. (You’ve been trying out our tricks for taking and editing good Instagram photos, right?) But beyond composition or graphic design, is there a type of photo that people like more? Well, the hunch of many a social media manager is that pictures of people perform better than those without. (Sorry, landscape photogs.) But why rely on a gut instinct, when we have a whole special column here...
