Ever since the launch of Instagram's long-form video platform IGTV almost a year ago - and the subsequent slow take-up of the option - Instagram has maintained that it has options, it has other ways it could tap into to boost IGTV viewership. And with a billion users on its platform - and 2.38 billion on parent company Facebook's network - it most definitely does have the scale to raise awareness of IGTV content. But recent additions would suggest that it may well be running out of ideas, and ways to get more people across to its still relatively new video showcase.

As TikTok slowly encroaches on its 'cool kids' turf, Snapchat is reportedly looking to establish new rights deals with major music labels, which would enable Snap users to add popular songs to their snaps.

As reported by Variety:

"[Snapchat] has been in negotiations with music companies including the big three - Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group - to license song catalogs for the Snapchat app, according to two industry sources familiar with the talks."

TikTok, through previously negotiated deals with musical.ly (which TikTok replaced), already enables users to add songs to their clips, while Facebook also has deals in place with various labels, enabling it to utilize popular tracks in various ways. According to Variety, Snap is not seeking to build a music-streaming service to compete with Spotify or Apple Music, and is only looking to enable music clip sharing via Snap, providing more tools for users, and more exposure for artists.

As noted, TikTok has been taking away some of Snapchat's youth shine in recent months - despite Snapchat seeing a rise in attention of late with its baby and gender swap Lenses.

New details have emerged on Facebook's planned cryptocurrency, with several outlets reporting that The Social Network is finalizing plans to launch its own 'GlobalCoin' option early in the new year.

As per BBC News:

"Facebook wants to create a digital currency that provides affordable and secure ways of making payments, regardless of whether users have a bank account. The social networking site, which owns WhatsApp and Instagram, is hoping to disrupt existing networks by breaking down financial barriers, competing with banks and reducing consumer costs."

To mark Pride Month 2019, Instagram is adding a new rainbow color ring for Stories which include a Pride-related hashtag.
Spotted by reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong, the new option, as noted, will be activated by relevant hashtags, turning your Stories activation border in a multi-colored circle, as opposed to the generic Instagram color tone one. Stories can also appear with a green color ring when shared with close friends only (also visible in the second screenshot above).

The feature is likely one of several Instagram will roll out for Pride Month. Last year, Instagram added a new rainbow background in Stories Type mode, rainbow versions of mention, hashtag and location stickers, and a rainbow heart to be used in Instagram Live.
The new Stories ring hasn't officially been announced as yet, so it may be part of a larger feature release coming this week.

Technical SEO 2016 Wiring Websites for Organic Search

Ask ten people what SEO is, and you’re likely to get ten different answers. Given the industry’s unsavoury past, this is hardly surprising. Keyword stuffing, gateway pages, and comment spam earned the first search engine optimisers a deservedly poor reputation within the web community. Snake oil salesmen continue to peddle these harmful techniques to unsuspecting website owners today, perpetuating the myth that optimising your website for Google or Bing is an inherently nefarious practise.
Needless to say, this is not true.
Broadly speaking, today’s SEO industry is split into two related fields: content marketing and technical optimisation. The ability to create content that resonates with audiences and communicates a brand identity is vital to the success of any website, and articles exploring every intricacy of this art can be found on the web with relative ease.
When it comes to the latter field, however – technical optimisation – the waters are often muddied by misinformation. This extraordinarily rich discipline is the key to realising the organic search potential of your content, and despite being listed as a skill on many developers’ resumés, it is also one of the most frequently misunderstood areas of modern web development.
Today we’ll be exploring some of the fundamental principles of technical SEO, including crawl efficiency, indexation control, link profile maintenance, and more. By the end, you’ll be armed with a wealth of techniques for organic search optimisation that are applicable to almost all established websites. Let’s get started.


Crawl Accessibility
Search engines use automated bots commonly known as spiders to find and crawl content on the web. Google’s spider (‘Googlebot’) discovers URLs by following links and by reading sitemaps provided by webmasters. It interprets the content, adds these pages to Google’s index, and ranks them for search queries to which it deems them relevant.
If Googlebot cannot efficiently crawl your website, it will not perform well in organic search. Regardless of your website’s size, history, and popularity, severe issues with crawl accessibility will cripple your performance and impact your ability to rank organically. Google assign a resource ‘budget’ to each domain based on its authority (more on this later), which is reflected in the regularity and depth of Googlebot’s crawl. Therefore, our primary goal is to maximise the efficiency of Googlebot’s visits.
ARCHITECTURE & SITEMAPS
This process begins with the basic architecture of your site. Disregard hackneyed advice telling you to make all information accessible within three clicks, and instead focus on building a website in accordance with Information Architecture (IA) best practices. Peter Morville’s Information Architecture for the World Wide Web is required reading (the fourth edition is available since September 2015), and you can find a good introduction to the basic principles of IA as they relate to SEO over at Moz.com.
Site structure should be crafted following extensive keyword research into search behaviour and user intent. This is an art in itself, and we’ll not be covering it here; as a general rule, however, you’ll want a logical, roughly symmetrical, pyramid-shaped hierarchy with your high-value category pages near the top and your more-specific pages closer to the bottom. Click-depth should be a consideration, but not your foremost concern.

I admit I stole this title. Part of being productive is to piggyback on the shoulders of greatness. So I decided to write down what six things I do every day that help me with productivity. They make work for you. Or not. They work for me, although I always need to improve.

About six years ago I would say I was 100 percent unproductive. Everything I did would cost me in either well-being or money. By “well-being” I mean, competence, good relationships, and freedom. So when I say “cost me well-being” I would do things to specifically hurt the above three.

So what is “productive”? Things that either increase my well-being: my feeling of growth or competence in a field I love (for instance, writing), my relationships with others, and my sense of freedom (which could (but not always) involve money).

Using that filter you can easily decide what is productive and what is not. For instance, do you respond to that negative comment on the Internet? No. Never. That person is dealing with his issues. Maybe he or she needs help from people who love him. But you don’t have to give that help. That would be unproductive.

Freedom can also come from needing less, so then you need less money. As an extreme example, if I don’t need to own my own private jet then that’s $100,000,000 less I need to feel comfortable with what I have.

Important to note that these three items of well-being are not goals. I will never be “competent.” And my relationships are never finished. And freedom is about my choices right now, not my choices in the past or the future.

A day is productive if I grow in competence. If I grow in my relationships. If I grow in my feeling of “choosing myself” – my freedom to make my own decisions in life instead of catering to the decisions and tastes of others.

My six things (please help me and add to my list):
Reading

Reading is maybe the most productive thing you can ever do. Here’s what happens: when you die at the age of 100, you’ve just lived one 100-year life.

But when I read a book in a few days time, I just absorbed an entire life, curated, of someone I admire or respect. It’s like every book I read is a mentor. How many mentors do I have? 1000s.
Sleeping

I used to admire people who say, “I only need three hours of sleep a day.”

Only later do I find out that most of these people are borderline mentally ill. Think about the people in your life who say they only need three hours of sleep. Be honest. Maybe they are a little… (fill in the blank).

Why is sleeping productive? There’s brain science about rejuvenating neurons, etc. I read that somewhere. There are all sorts of studies that people who sleep more get sick less, have more willpower, are less at risk for cancer, etc.

But there’s something else. Dan Ariely, a guest on my podcast, says that the brain’s peak performance happens 2-4 hours after you wake up. So here’s what I do. I wake up at 5. I’ll read (or take a walk), until 7 a.m., and then I’ll start writing. Writing is the activity I love most. I’m a little kid again when I write. So I want my brain to be at it’s peak. So I’ll write from 7 – 9 a.m.

Then, I do a trick. Many days (when I can) I’ll take a 1-2 hour nap around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Then I know that two hours later my brain again will be peaking. Maybe not as much as before. But enough. So I’ll write again. This is why I do my Twitter Q&As at 3:30 every Thursday because I know my brain is supercharged then.

I know that if I do the activity I love most when my brain and body have the most energy then that will create the most value, create the most opportunities for me, improve my competence and improve my freedom (because of the opportunities generated).
Eat at Home

I don’t like to eat out. It takes so long. And then you have to wait for the bill. And I always feel bloated and I hate salads in restaurants.

So we make simple meals and we are done in about 10 minutes, two meals a day. I probably save an hour or two by not eating out or not eating junk that will bloat me and make me less productive.
Throw Stuff Out

A few months ago, my wife and I threw out almost everything we owned. What do we really need? I like reading on the Kindle. How many sheets do we need? We never have guests. How many clothes do I need? I was storing clothes I hadn’t worn in forever. Our house was totally empty. It was really nice. I felt like a breath of fresh air was going through my head.

Einstein says (as an insult), “if a cluttered desk means a cluttered mind, then what does an empty desk mean?” I’m okay with that, Albert! I don’t mind having an empty mind.


It makes room for new things, new connections between my memories, new things for me to enjoy. Fewer things to obsess over. Cleaning the outside and cleaning the inside reduce stress. Every day I try to throw things out. It makes me feel good.

It also makes me feel like I need less. Throwing things out tells my brain, “you don’t need this anymore,” so my brain stops wanting things.
No News

Someone asked me a few weeks ago to comment on “the situation in Greece.” I guess they are going to default on their debt. So what? This gives TV people something to argue about. I’m happy for them.

People are wired to notice lions much faster than they notice apple trees. That’s why we are alive.

Since there’s no more lions chasing us down Main Street, the news tries to find other ways to trigger that fight or flight reflex.

No TV. No news. No web surfing. No books about current events. No talking to people about current events. No conferences about what’s going on in the world. I don’t need to fight or flight in order to improve competence, improve relationships with people, or improve my freedom.
No Meetings

I never went to a meeting where someone gave me a check at the end. I’ve never traveled to a meeting where it resulted in me making money or being happier. Most meetings can be summarized in a two-line email.

I’ll go to a meeting if it’s with my friends. That’s fun and improves my relationships. But I never go to any other meetings.

What if you are an employee and you have to go to a meeting? Try to get out of it. Or go for part of it. Or insist you only go if there are no chairs at the meeting (meetings will be faster then). Or find a job where there are fewer meetings. Or show your boss there’s evidence that company’s with fewer meetings make more money.
No Phone

I talk on the phone maybe once every other day. Again, the two-line email thing works in most cases.
Email

I like Neil Strauss’s approach. He has one hour a day scheduled for emails. His wife has his password so he can’t even log on to email before that hour.

I don’t email for an hour. My emails are mostly to readers with quick questions or to people I am inviting onto my podcast. I don’t email anyone else. I do use texts, though, because they’re faster. And I can text answers to people’s questions in my spare time while riding a cab or waiting for my kids or whatever. My phone number is 203-512-2161.

Again, if you’re an employee somewhere you might be in the habit of responding quickly to email from, say, a boss. But try to cut it down to end-of-day when your brain is moving a bit slower and you don’t need it as much. Only do the thing you love most during your peak productive hours.

Hmmm, I just realized I gave eight ways to increase productivity. Since I’ve broken the rules (nothing wrong with that) I’ll add a ninth.
Experiences

We’re the sum of our experiences and not our material things. Experiences stay with us forever and build us into who we become. They add to our well-being. Material things get lost or thrown out or lose their usefulness.

A good experience for me is: where I meet friends, where I learn something new, where I learn something new that can increase my freedom.

When I do something I know will be unproductive my gut reaction is saying “Ugh, I can’t believe I have to…”.

Here’s my trick: if I always change “I have to…” to the words “I get to..” then I can usually turn the experience into something productive.

Today I have to take my kids to dance recital rehearsals. But then I get to see them dance.

The Six Things The Most Productiv

Data related to Google’s “Right to be forgotten” (RTBF) removal requests was just torn from the source code of its very own transparency report.
The Guardian reports that “less than 5% of nearly 220,000 individual requests made to Google to selectively remove links to online information concern criminals, politicians and high-profile public figures.”
What this means is that the vast majority of requests (95%) are indeed coming from regular members of the public looking to remove pieces of personal data from the web, rather than from criminals and corrupt politicians as a common narrative seems to have been. In several countries (France and Germany among them), the amount of requests related to private personal information requests hovered above 98%.
The released data also shows the percentage breakdown of the separate categories of requests. For instance, though the “granted” rate of private personal requests stands at 48%, the rate of approval is much lower (18%) for requests regarding serious crimes. In general, Google grants about half of all of the requests that it processes.
After releasing its transparency report last October detailing basic information on the number of RTBF requests received and granted, Google faced backlash for not revealing more details on the nature of the requests being approved and rejected.
In May, a group of 80 internet scholars penned an open letter to Google detailing their desire for them to release more data:
Beyond anecdote, we know very little about what kind and quantity of information is being delisted from search results, what sources are being delisted and on what scale, what kinds of requests fail and in what proportion, and what are Google’s guidelines in striking the balance between individual privacy and freedom of expression interests.

As more countries continue to adopt RTBF laws, an increase in transparency from Google is only going to grow more essential.
The data collected by The Guardian has since been removed from the source code of Google’s transparency report. Google was not immediately available for comment.
Update:
In a statement, a Google spokesperson told Social world tips
“We’ve always aimed to be as transparent as possible about our right to be forgotten decisions.  The data the Guardian found in our Transparency Report’s source code does of course come from Google, but it was part of a test to figure out how we could best categorise requests.  We discontinued that test in March because the data was not reliable enough for publication.  We are however currently working on ways to improve our transparency reporting.”

The Billion Dollar Food Delivery Wars


Over the past 12 months, food and grocery delivery has been one of the hottest VC sectors. More than $1 billion was invested in 2014 – an almost fourfold increase year-on-year – with a further half a billion dollars invested in Q1 2015, according to CB Insights.

Since the successful IPOs of Just Eat and Grubhub/Seamless a year ago, almost every week has brought fresh news of large-scale funding announcements for existing players, or the launch of a new service, making it one of the most competitive sectors currently.


However, competitive does not mean saturated: with online penetration at roughly 1 percent,food and grocery delivery remains one of the largest markets still overwhelmingly offline, and its transition to online/mobile in the coming years will create a wealth of opportunities for entrepreneurs.

As a board member at Deliveroo, I have had the chance to watch the space’s evolution over the past eighteen months, and have come up with three thesis, and three predictions, as to how the current “food delivery war” may play out.

Netflix Hits Record High

After reporting strong subscription growth and better-than-expected second-quarter profit, Netflix went on a tear today, spiking around 18 percent in regular trading. The company is also up after hours.

Let’s do a chart, just for fun:




That’s got to feel good.

It’s been a very busy week for Netflix, which managed an earlier record high ahead of its stock split and earnings. Off the back of that, Netflix cut its shares into sevenths, lowering its price to the roughly $100 mark. Then it rocked the earnings report and took flight.


Netflix ended the day worth $49.51 billion, or roughly as much as Uber.

Related ArticlesNetflix Hits A New All-Time High Ahead Of Its Stock Split And Q2 EarningsNetflix Passes 50M Subscribers As It Reports Better Than Expected Q2 Revenue Of $1.34BNetflix Beats Expectations With 4M New Subscribers, Earnings Of 86 Cents Per Share

In related news, Google also reported better-than-expected earnings, sending its shares up 10 percent. Oh, and Intel did damn well itself, picking up a 6 percentbump from investors for its earnings.

So far we are off to a very strong cycle of technology earnings from a variety of companies. Most majors have yet to report, let alone the smaller public tech firms, but signals, so far, are positive. That fact may keep the NASDAQ around 5,000, if not a touch higher.

The party is still on, y’all.

Reddit is taking a firm stance against bullying, harassment, and content that encourages violence, and will hide the worst content from its site. Today new CEO Steve Huffman announced a new slate of moderation policies and is now holding an AMA to discuss them, which is important considering they’re rather vague to begin with.

What’s new is the NSFW tag, which stands for “Not Safe For Work”, which will now be applied to content that “violates a common sense of decency” in addition to pornography as Reddit did before. To view content with this classification, users will now bed required to be logged in, must opt in to seeing the content, it will not appear in search results or public listings, and it will generate no revenue for Reddit.

Huffman also reiterated the site prohibits spam, anything illegal, sexually suggestive content featuring minors, and publishing people’s private information. Most relevant to today’s changes are that it continues to ban:



Anything that incites harm or violence against an individual or group of people



Anything that harasses, bullies, or abuses an individual or group of people (these behaviors intimidate others into silence)

Huffman explains that this just reinforces Reddit’s existing policy, noting “This is basically what we have right now. I’d appreciate your thoughts. A very clear line is important and our language should be precise.”

On what Subreddits will be banned or hidden, Huffman says “/r/rapingwomen will be banned. They are encouraging people to rape. /r/coontown will be reclassified. The content there is offensive to many, but does not violate our current rules for banning.” The former violates Reddit’s policy banning people from inciting violence, which Huffman details as including “death threats, inciting rape”. The latter will be classified as NSFW and will have its visibility restricted.

For example, regarding what will get banned Huffman says “It’s ok to say, “I don’t like this group of people.” It’s not ok to say, “I’m going to kill this group of people.”

London— Social Word Tips Mobile network Three is set to acquire Britain's second-largest mobile provider O2 from Spain's Telefónica in a £10 billion deal.
The move would create the UK's biggest mobile group and reduce the number of major operators in the UK from four to three.
It would also make Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing, Asia's richest person whose firm Hutchison Whampoa owns the Three network, one of the biggest foreign investors in the UK.
Hutchison said its offer includes £9.25 billion ($13.9 billion) in cash plus up to another £1 billion ($1.5 billion) in interest payments after the deal is completed, depending on how O2 and Three perform once they are combined.
The company cautioned that the deal still needs corporate and regulatory approvals and the talks "may not result in any transaction."
The news has worried consumer groups who fear that the price of phone calls and mobile internet access could increase, and will likely face intense scrutiny from competition regulators in Brussels.

However, Hutchison Whampoa have pointed to deals in other countries that were approved. "The European Commission has taken a positive view of four-to-three consolidations of mobile in three cases now...and we believe that the precedents that they have set in those transactions will apply for this transaction," the group's finance director Frank Sixt said.

Social Media share Instagram links anymore
Twitter has a message for its top users: Stop sharing Instagram links.
Twitter social network sent out prompts Thursday to a batch of its high-profile users, nudging Twitterm not to tweet links to Instagram photos, and instead post photos directly through Twitter, according to a copy of Twitter prompt obtained by Social Word Tips
Twitter prompt (screengrabs of which you can see, below) was sent out to a group of notable users in media, entertainment, sports and oTwitterr categories, according to a source close to Twitter. That same source characterized Twitter prompt as an educational effort to show Twitter service's celebrities and influential users how to use Twitter native photo function to boost engagement.
Twitter move comes a little more than two years after Instagram first disabled support for displaying images in tweets, which was around Twitter same time that Twitter introduced native photo-editing and filters. Since Twittern, Instagram continued to increase in popularity, thanks in part to its acquisition by Facebook, and likely recently overtook Twitter in monthly active users.


Many Twitter users have continued to share links and screengrabs of Twitterir Instagram photos as a workaround, but certain celebrities simply tweet links to Instagram posts without any images

Microsoft  Office 2016 Microsoft Office announced on Thursday that it will be releasing its next big Office suite this year.
It's called Office 2016, and the announcement comes on the heels of Microsoft Office's big Windows 10 event on Wednesday. Microsoft Office has been focusing more on optimizing Office for mobile, but Office 2016 is best for desktop computers, according to Microsoft Office. It will be available in the second half of


"We will have more to share on Office 2016 in the coming months, but this suite will remain the comprehensive Office experience you’re long familiar with, best suited for a PC with keyboard and mouse," wrote Julia White, general manager for Microsoft Office's Office Product Management team, in a blog post.
According to White, the platform will include "compelling new experiences" that will be highlighted more in the coming months. Microsoft Office declined to offer any more details to Mashable, so for now all of the details surrounding Office 2016 remain vague. It probably isn't too far off from what we're used to, though.
Office 2016 is different from the unified Office for Windows 10 that Microsoft Office highlighted on Wednesday. The touch-friendly Windows 10 app suite is designed to work across different platforms, so it's optimized for both desktop computers and smaller screens (those under 8 inches).
The Office apps are automatically included on Windows 10 build of phones.

The 2015 Apple Watch While it's been well reported that the Apple Watch will likely need recharging every day, a new report suggests we could see it have about 19 hours of "mixed" battery life.
According to 9to5Mac, Apple is aiming to get 19 hours of both active and passive battery use out of the device.
When active — whenever one is actually using the watch — users will get between 2.5 ("heavy" use, for things like games) to 4 hours of application. The rest of the 19 hours is allotted for background tasks on the watch.
9to5Mac noted the watch can stay on for about two to three days in standby or other power-saving modes.
Unfortunately, the Apple Watch battery life doesn't sound much better than already-available smartwatches. One of the big drawbacks of smartwatches is their short battery lives.
Speculation about the watch's battery life has been buzzing since the wearable was announced in September. Reports began circulating almost immediately that Apple was unhappy with its battery life, which was said to be at "about a day.
Tim Cook admitted in October that users are "going to wind up charging it daily", but he declined to go into specifics.
9to5Mac noted a few more details about Apple Watch's processor and software, too. It is reportedly running a "stripped-down" version of iOS that's (for now) codenamed Ski Hill, and it's equipped with Apple's S1 chip. That's close to what's inside of the current-generation iPod Touch, the Apple A5 processor.

Sony has postponed its quarterly earnings report by a month and a half due to the cyberattack on Sony Pictures in November 2015, the Sony announced Friday
In an application filed with the Financial Services Agency of Tokyo JAPAN (FSA), Sony asked that the earnings report deadline for the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015

As for the reasoning behind the request, Sony claims the "highly sophisticated and damaging cyberattack" on Sony Pictures caused "a serious disruption of
SPE’s network systems including the destruction of network hardware.As a result, most of Sony Pictures' financial, accounting and other tech applications won't be functional until early Feb. 2015.

The Sony will hold a conference for the press and analysts on Feb. 4, 2015, but with a caveat that the actual earnings report will be far from finished at that date. Still, Sony currently believes that the impact of the cyberattack on its financial results is "not material."

The cyberattack on Sony Pictures has exposed a bevy of corporate data to the public, including emails from high ranking Sony officials, unfinished movie scripts, projected movie earnings and more.


The attack and the subsequent threats of violence from the hackers prompted Sony to pull The Interview, a comedy about a fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, from its planned December theatrical release. Still, the movie was released online in Dec., raking in $15 million in the first four days of availability.
