Ep. 103 - SOCIAL IN SIX [017]

Theo and Eve are back with Social in Six - a breakdown of the top social media headlines and what you need to know. This week, we discuss the updates to Messenger that are seeing SMEs and users through lockdown, including livestreams from Messenger Rooms and a new ecommerce and customer service plugin. We also discuss the latest from Twitter’s proposed paid subscription model, and reveal the features you could soon be asked to shell out for. Next we talk Snapchat as its latest feature is the last in a long line of music licensing deals for all the major social media players, but it’s not necessarily the attack on TikTok that most headlines assume. And finally, on TikTok, we discuss the latest in its campaign against Facebook’s monopoly - a pledge to open its algorithm and moderation processes for evaluation. Want to be on Social Minds?
