"Forget the calendar invite. Just jump into a conversation. That’s the idea powering a fresh batch of social startups poised to take advantage of our cleared schedules amidst quarantine. But they could also change the way we work and socialize long after COVID-19 by bringing the free-flowing, ad-hoc communication of parties and open office plans online. While “Live” has become synonymous with performative streaming, these new apps instead spread the limelight across several users as well as the task, game, or dis...

2018-09-1027 minInside PRYes to greater transparency and more balanceInstagram released some information about how its algorithm determines what we see. Every individual has a unique feed. But all of us gain some insight from Instagram’s disclosure. A praiseworthy step toward greater transparency is how the social media sausage is made.
Last October, Facebook de-emphasized news in the Facebook Newsfeed. The bottom dropped out of many publishers’ traffic. New data from Chartbeat suggests that the system is returning to a healthier mix in which traffic to publishers from Google Search and direct has increased to provide a more balanced flow of traffic. Balance is good, in t...

The Buyer's JourneyFacebook's Newest Tactic in the Fight Against Fake News - May 02, 2018Today's Commexis Cast discusses Facebook's latest tactic in the fight against fake news. Now, articles Facebook deems to be inaccurate will appear significantly smaller on the Newsfeed and appear next to fact checking links.
Tech Crunch's Josh Constine reported on the announcement which took place at the Fighting Abuse @Scale Event in San Francisco.
Facebook's previous attempts to fight fake news have been particularly ineffective. Originally, the social network flagged content it believed to be false. However, that only increased the likelihood of it being shared, I suspect because of individuals who didn't appreciate those sites being labelled as "false"...
