If you guys are working in social media, I know keeping track of accounts and passwords can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you're moving from client to client or if you have multiple clients you're managing at the same time. Keeper makes that easy. Keeps them all in one place for you, locks down, and gives your clients the assurance that those passwords are secure. I highly recommend you check them out, guys. Link is in the comments below. Let's go. I get it. It's Wednesday, not Tuesday. I'm sorry. I need to get a calendar right in front of me when I get going on this. I just get so excited first thing in the morning that I want to get this done. Regardless, let's get down to it, guys. Social media updates today. We're looking at Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Twitter has acquired Chroma Labs, and this is kind of a big deal. Simply because Chroma Labs is known for making stories a little bit sexier. That's right. So if you've ever been on Instagram or Facebook, any of the platforms that provides that daily update story kind of feed, Chroma Labs is all about making that shine. It looks like Twitter might be making a play into that style of content to add into their platform, which is really exciting for me. I'm a huge advocate for Twitter and I love that idea of stories being included to add another little flavor to your profile. So keep your eyes on that. Stories may be coming to Twitter sooner than you would think. And it looks like Twitter's not the only one looking to buff up your profiles. LinkedIn is going to add a highlighted reel kind of section to your profile. And essentially what this is gonna do is it's gonna highlight different pieces of content that are performing well for you that have trended for you. It's gonna highlight a whole bunch of different affiliations or jobs that you've had in the past on your profile so that when people visit, it's actually going to showcase the best of the best of who you are, which is pretty cool considering how the platform originally started as a way to showcase your professional profile. So I love this move, I love where this is heading. Let me know what you guys think though. Do you want LinkedIn automatically deciding what's showing front-facing on your LinkedIn profile, or would you rather still have full control? Let me know down in the comments below, guys. And Facebook is back at it again, trying to fix their layout, trying to fix the user interface. They're constantly changing and updating and altering. So Facebook's changed again. They're trying to fix the chronological order of things in the feed. So if you choose to see things chronologically, that it doesn't seem so scattered. It's still not quite where they want it to be, and hopefully these new changes make things pop up the way that you would like if that's how you prefer to see your content on a timeline. Hopefully this fixes the problem. That's what they've done the past few times in trying to fix problems like this, and it just seems to be recurring. I, I think there's just so much data that Facebook has a hard time organizing it effectively. But suffice it to say, they are making efforts. Hopefully for those of you on Facebook that this has just been grinding your gears, that you cannot get a proper chronological feed, this is the answer you've been waiting for. Fingers crossed. Getting us started on our content today, our good buddies over at BeLive have dropped a fantastic tutorial with the help of Stephanie Liu to help you understand how to better go live.
