We Are Social 'Headline of the Day' Podcast

The We Are Social 'Headline of the Day' tells you the one story you need to hear each day in the world of social media from Monday to Friday. This podcast will be a trial run for the first part of 2017, we'd like to get your feeback on the content on twitter @wearesocial.

    Friday 27th January 2017

    Today’s headline, courtesy of Techcrunch, is that Twitter’s Moments feature, which allows users to tell stories through a collection of tweets, is no longer going to be front-and-center in the Twitter application. Instead, Twitter will replace the Moments section with a new tab called “Explore.” This area will serve as the home for finding out what’s happening on Twitter, including trends, Moments, search, and featured live video streams. This will be the last in We Are Social’s headline of the day series for a few months. It’s been interesting experimenting with Voice Tech on the amazon echo and seeing how the content worked as a podcast. But we’re going to take what we’ve learned and be going off air to plan a bigger and better broadcast later in the year. But you can still keep up to date with the biggest social stories with our Monday Mashup blog series on wearesocial.com. Keep an eye out on twitter @wearesocial for updates.

    Today’s headline, courtesy of The Telegraph, is that Facebook is updating its "trending" feature as part of its bid to clamp down on fake news. Facebook's trending list will now consist of stories being covered by several publishers, rather than the stories attracting the biggest number of shares or comments. Facebook also will stop customising trending lists to cater to each user's personal interests. Instead, everyone located in the same region will see the same stories.

    Today’s headline, courtesy of The Verge, is that Snapchat is rolling out a new design which features a search bar and new guidelines for publishers using Discover. Snapchat will now restrict publishers from using images or headlines that lack editorial value. This move is part of an effort by Snapchat to make Discover a more serious news source, and to cut down on clickbait or outright fake news.

    Monday 23rd January 2017

    Today’s headline, courtesy of CNN Media, is that The New York Times is investigating an apparent hack of one of its Twitter accounts. The newspaper's video account, @nytvideo, sent a tweet at 9:40am on Sunday about a missile attack from Russia against the United States. The tweet was quickly deleted, but subsequent tweets soon popped up claiming to be from OurMine, a group that has hacked high-profile social media accounts, including Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

    Friday 20th January 2017

    Today’s headline, courtesy of AdWeek, is that Snapchat has now signed a deal with Oracle Data Cloud to arm marketers with more intelligence. This means that Oracle's treasure trove of data will let advertisers serve ads in Snapchat based on offline purchases and loyalty reward programs. Snapchat already lets advertisers target its 150 million daily users based on their behaviour in the app, but this is the first time that it's used a third party to target ads.

The security and intelligence organisation has launched the competition as part of a plan to recruit more female spies, dubbed ‘Jane Bonds’, to its ranks.
