Big Changes Coming to LinkedIn Stories!
After almost an entire year in the wild, LinkedIn is pulling its Stories feature and sending it back to the shop for upgrades. If you’re not familiar, Stories are LinkedIn’s way of allowing its users to share videos and images for a specified amount of time (usually 24 hours) before they disappear. This is a more basic version of what other social platforms are doing with this kind of transient content. Instagram most famously uses this feature and is killing it with its multitude of features and ways to create a Story for your account. I reviewed Stories last year when LinkedIn first introduced them and it seems that some of my concerns were shared by others who provided feedback to LinkedIn, and now they are pulling the feature at the end of September. Check out this notice that I received in my inbox this morning from the LinkedIn Stories Team.

How To Get More Likes On Your IG Account
Working With The App, Rather Than Against It Understand this: things aren’t as straightforward as they appear when it comes to varying digital apps. While you should be able to post something that’s engaging, interesting, and popular, then see that post go viral, this isn’t always the case. For a variety of reasons, some ideological, some related to business, posts don’t necessarily rise “organically”.

LinkedIn Testing Conversational Features. Top Story - August 2021.
In recent weeks and months, LinkedIn has been making changes and testing features that would encourage and amplify the discussion and community aspect of the social platform.

Hop down below to read more about what I mean.

Lena had a strict rule: no being “friends” on social media with people she was dating. It seemed like every time she met someone new, they wanted to “friend” her on Snapchat or Facebook. Even allowing someone to follow her on Instagram seemed invasive when they just met, but many prospective partners seemed absolutely flummoxed when she wouldn’t accept their friend requests. The funny thing was, she always made a point to tell potential sweethearts that this was her policy. She would gently explain that it wasn’t personal, but that she felt that friending someone on Facebook was akin to inviting them to a family wedding – a lot of attention would be paid, and she wasn’t willing to go through that until they were further into their relationship.
