Keith Coleman, the VP of product at Twitter/X, and Jay Baxter, the founding ML engineer, are the minds behind Community Notes. Here they reveal how a small, scrappy team built the most trusted crowdsourced information system on the internet—one that's changing the way we understand truth online. What you'll learn:1. How Community Notes actually works—a deep dive into the groundbreaking algorithm that rewards “bridging agreement” instead of majority rule2. The seemingly crazy yet brilliant way this idea survived multiple CEO changes—from Jack to Parag to Elon3. How this project started with a dumpster fire GIF (literally)—the untold backstory of its early launch4. The secret to running ultra-fast, high-impact product teams—no OKRs, no Jira; just one Google Doc5.

Les actionnaires de la plate-forme patientent depuis déjà plusieurs années et maintenant ils veulent des sous ! Pour rassurer, Jack Doresy à mis les petits plats dans les grands et à fait un paquet d’annonces.Niveau business : Twitter promet une croissance annuelle de 20 % sur trois ans pour atteindre 315 millions d’abonnés. Twitter a aussi promis qu’il doublera son chiffre d’affaires en 2023.Côté fonctionnalité et bien là aussi, beaucoup de nouvelles choses.Communities : Les Groupes TwitterCommunautés est une fonctionnalité semblable à celle des groupes Facebook qui permettra aux utilisateurs de Twitter de se rassembler en fonction de leurs intérêts. « Nous travaillons à créer une expérience produit qui permette aux gens de se former, de découvrir et de participer plus facilement à des conversations plus ciblées ».Le chef de produit chez Twitter, Kayvon Beykpour, explique que les communautés seraient également en mesure de définir et d'appliquer leurs propres règles «au-delà de nos conditions de service».Inspiré des groupes Facebook, Twitter lance sa nouvelle fonctionnalité : « communities»On le sait c’est une tendance importante en social média ces dernières années, les audiences dérivent sur des parties privées des plates-formes et en plus petit comité.Twitter n’échappe pas à cette tendance. Comme sur Facebook vous pourrez créer des groupes autour de sujets spécifiques ou centres d’intérêt commun.On a vu, il y a une petite semaine, à quoi ça allait ressembler :C’est encore une fois la chercheuse Jane Manchun Wong qui grâce à ses talents de reverse engineering a découvert tout ça !Aperçu classique avec une photo de couverture, le nom de la communauté, la description, le nombre de membres et le bouton rejoindre !Ensuite vous avez un onglet avec le flux de tweets postés par les membres et un onglet « about ».Et là, c’est très intéressant parce qu’on comprend mieux les manières dont seront protégés ces groupes.Dans l’exemple qu’on a pu voir seuls les membres du groupe peuvent tweeter et répondre à un tweet.Cependant tout le monde pouvait voir les tweets, les liker, les citer ou les partager.Donc ce n’est pas vraiment un groupe privé mais il faut en faire partie pour pouvoir interagir dessus.Ensuite si vous faites partis de certains groupes, lorsque vous allez publier un tweet vous aurez alors le choix avec un petit menu déroulant de l’endroit où vous souhaitez le poster. "Pour tout le monde" donc sur Twitter classique, ou dans un groupe duquel vous faites partis. Au final on retrouve le principe de ClubHouse qui vient pour moi souligner une tendance forte sur les plateformes sociales.C’est officiel, on ne cherche plus le maximum de visibilité mais plutôt la qualité des liens qu’on créé.Là c’est l’exemple parfait ! On va donner accès à plus de choses à certains utilisateurs qui paient, et donc créer avec eux un lien plus fort, plus prononcé. Plutôt que de concentrer ses efforts sur le plus grand nombre !La confirmation aussi qu’on passe du one to many au one to few.—Super Follow : Twitter s’inspire de PatreonPour suivre des créateurs et avoir accès à du contenu exclusif en échange d’un abonnement mensuel.Twitter veut permettre aux créateurs de proposer à leurs followers de devenir de super followers. Moyennant un abonnement mensuel, ceux-ci auraient accès à du contenu exclusif : badge, newsletter, promotions, échange avec la communauté etc. Comme Facebook et YouTube il y a déjà quelques temps, Twitter s’inspire ici de Patreon pour permettre à des utilisateurs reconnus d’être payés directement par les consommateurs. Twitter pourrait prélever une commission pour accroître ses revenus.TweetDeckOn en a parlé dans un Youpi c’est lundi, Twitter est en train d’apporter de profondes modifications à TweetDeck.On pense maintenant que cette application va devenir le business manager de Twitter.La refonte va être autant dans la partie visuelle que dans ses fonctionnalités.Et dans le même temps Twitter cherche à développer une forme d’abonnement sur sa plate-forme.Les créateurs de contenu devraient pouvoir proposer un abonnement de 4,99 dollars par mois.Les personnes qui vont souscrire cet abonnement auront donc accès à du contenu exclusif comme par exemples des newsletter…C’est un nouveau moyen pour la plate-forme de créer aussi des revenus et d’être moins dépendant des revenus publicitaires.Il est un petit peu une inspiration Twitch avec ce type d’abonnement et ses abonnés privilégiés.NewsletterOn n’en parlait, les newsletter sont une nouveauté maintenant intégrée à Twitter.Si dans le menu vous allez dans plus, vous verrez un bouton newsletter.Vous pourrez alors créer gratuitement une newsletter grâce à revue :RevueVous pouvez donc rédiger et programmer des newsletter, intégrer à l’intérieur des tweets, importer des listes d’adresses e-mail, analyser l’engagement autour de chaque newsletter et gagner de l’argent en proposant un abonnement à vos lecteurs.Voilà comment Twitter vend cette fonctionnalité.—Spaces : le concurrent de ClubHouse à la sauce TwitterLa fonctionnalité, lancée en bêta privée en décembre dernier, initialement accessible qu’à un nombre restreint d’utilisateurs, cette limite est en train d’être assouplie et Spaces sera accessible à tous.Avec Spaces, Twitter promet de concurrencer sérieusement Clubhouse, qui a tout récemment dépassé les 10 millions de téléchargements sur l'App Store. Twitter, a récemment déclaré que la société envisageait de créer un moyen d’enregistrer nativement les conversations audio dans Spaces. Dès le mois de décembre 2020 Twitter lancait une version bêta de Spaces pour les utilisateurs iOS.Si Clubhouse n’est pas encore arrivé sur Android, Twitter a déjà lancé en mars sa version bêta sur Android.De ce que j’ai pu voir c’est vraiment un copier coller de ClubHouse.Mais Twitter avance vite et est en train de développer sa version pour desktop.La version desktop ressemble énormément à celle présente sur smartphone, mais du coup avec quelques avantages en plus.On a vu beaucoup de personnes parfois en galère pour pouvoir streamer sur Clubhouse, si vous avez accès à Spaces depuis un ordinateur ça devrait simplifier des choses !Et on imagine tout de suite beaucoup plus de possibilités en tout cas…——Compte d’entreprise : Twitter s’inspire d’ InstagramTwitter a annoncé le lancement courant 2021 des comptes entreprise.C’est une fonctionnalité qui ressemble beaucoup à ce que propose Instagram. Les profils entreprises Twitter sont très proche des profils perso à quelques subtilités près. Le type d’entreprise est indiqué (commerce, restaurant), ainsi que des informations de contact, des indications sur les horaires d’ouverture, l’adresse de l’établissement et un bouton pour s’y rendre facilement.Twitter précise que « chaque type de compte aura des attributs et des fonctions différentes ». Les comptes Twitter actuellement tenus par des sociétés pourront sans doute être convertis sans problème en comptes d’entreprise.——Des nouveautés dans les FleetsLancée fin 2020, les fleets continuent de se développer.« Parfois, 280 caractères ne suffisent pas et la voix donne aux gens un autre moyen de participer à la conversation »Twitter vient d’annoncer le lancement des stickers dans les fleets.Pour l’instant les stickers sont seulement de l’habillage pas de logique d’interaction comme sur Facebook ou Instagram.une collection d'autocollants animés et d'emoji créés par Twitter. Et si vous recherchez quelque chose dans la barre de recherche en haut de l'écran, Twitter affichera des GIF provenant de Tenor et de GIPHY qui appartient à ….

Packy is a self described "narrative investor" and so does not do anything remotely close to objective analysis. But his is still a nice recap of what Twitter has done recently and could continue to do.You can catch Twitter's Revival, Pt. 1 with Kayvon Beykpour, Twitter's head of consumer product, here. Audio Source: https://www.notboring.co/p/how-twitter-got-its-groove-back---How Twitter Got Its Groove Back2020 was a good year for Twitter. Since Elliott Management and Silver Lake took board seats in March, $TWTR is up 94%. As of Q3, the company had 187 million monetizable Daily Active Users (mDAU) up 29% from the previous year. For context, Facebook grew DAUs by 12% over the same period, albeit off a much higher base. At the start of the pandemic, Twitter decided to prioritize its revenue products, and after a slow Q2 due to the pandemic, the company roared back. Revenue grew 14% YoY to $936 million in Q3, smashing estimates. Twitter has mostly focused on brand advertising to date, but aided by the rebuild of its ad server, it has started rolling out direct response ad formats, and will launch a new Mobile Application Promotion offering this year. It's also working on tools to let SMBs better self-serve ads, overhauling what has traditionally been an absolutely terrible product. It might be working, too. Last night, @nongaap highlighted a few ads during the Super Bowl that seem more targeted, timely, and relevant than anything I've ever seen on Twitter. If Twitter finally gets ads right, that's a huge tailwind, but the most exciting thing about Twitter is that it's started making moves against the Fantasy Jack Twitter Roadmap. Verification. After nearly four years of letting verification languish, shrouded in uncertainty, Twitter announced in November that it's bringing back its verification program. It will keep its focus on organizations and influential individuals for now, and isn't moving all the way towards verifying all real people and companies, but it's a step in the right direction that shows it's listening to users. Subscription Products. While Twitter hasn't launched any subscription products yet, it has publicly announced that it's planning to, and that it's being more thoughtful about it than the Prof. At the Oppenheimer Technology, Internet, and Communications Conference in August, CFO Ned Segal said: When we think about subscription, I wouldn't want you to think too narrowly about the opportunities. There could be subscription opportunities for advertisers. There could be subscription opportunities for consumers. There could be -- whether they are people who use the service a lot to create content or those who tend to be viewing content more or those who are somewhere in between. We don't feel constrained when we think about these opportunities, and I wouldn't want you to think so either.Notice that he didn't mention Kim Kardashian's 69 million followers once, but he did highlight Creators. Products for Creating, Sharing, and Monetizing Ideas. This is where Twitter has gotten most aggressive recently. Let's break it out. In If I Ruled the Tweets, we suggested that Twitter should build or acquire products for newsletter creation, podcast consumption, and audio-only rooms, among other things. After years of soporific product development, they're actually starting to make moves! In December, Twitter acquired social screen-sharing app Squad and announced the launch of Spaces, its answer to audio-chat unicorn Clubhouse. Spaces lets Twitter users host conversations directly within the app, and the Squad team will work on the product. In early January, Twitter acquired Breaker, a social podcasting app, to help build Spaces. Then, two weeks ago, on January 25th, Twitter acquired newsletter platform Revue. Combined, these moves point to a more confident Twitter, that, election behind it and Trump out of its hair, is focused on the future. It is going to build Creator-focused products and diversify its revenue streams. The pieces are starting to come together. Twitter's Creator BundleWith the launch of Twitter Spaces and the acquisition of Revue, Twitter is building a Creator ecosystem in which it keeps some of the value it creates. It's competing with two hot, a16z-backed startups, Clubhouse and Substack, to own the conversation and the associated monetization opportunities. I think it will win the newsletter wars, which will give it a leg up in the audio wars. When Twitter acquired Revue, Ben Thompson wrote about the acquisition, calling it “the smartest thing Twitter has done in ages.” I agree. In If I Ruled the Tweets, I used Twitter's relationship with Substack to show how much value it gives away, writing of the fact that most Substack discovery happens on Twitter:Who's capturing the value here? The writer captures value in the form of a new free or paid subscriber.Substack captures value in the form of new paid subscribers and new writers. Twitter captures almost zero value. You could argue that it captures a little in the form of increased engagement that it can sell ads against, but when one of its users sees a Substack post and clicks the link, she leaves Twitter and gives her attention to Substack. Substack is in a tricky position. For writers to stick with Substack when they get big despite the 10% fee Substack charges, it will need to help them drive growth. The most effective tool that Substack has built for discovery, though, is a tool that helps people find Substacks by people they follow on Twitter! Twitter can make the whole newsletter discovery experience more seamless and integrated by doing it all within the app, as Thompson lays out well here:Personally, I'm watching closely and would love to switch to Twitter Newsletter as I learn more about the company's plans for the product. It's where I promote Not Boring anyway, and connecting with Twitter would allow me to find new readers more easily, and connect with and learn more about all of you.For new writers, Twitter is trying to make it as easy as possible to start a newsletter, already highlighting it in the “More” menu on the web version of Twitter. At the same time, Twitter is preparing to do battle on the audio-room front with Clubhouse via its Spaces product. It's still in limited beta, but one of the early testers, Chris Cantino, wrote a good breakdown in Twitter Spaces: A Bright Future.Like Substack, much of Clubhouse's growth has come on Twitter's back. The product initially took off when a small set of influential users shared screenshots of the app on Twitter in the spring, creating FOMO and demand, and still today, Twitter is the main distribution channel for Clubhouse. When Elon Musk went on Clubhouse last weekend, he let people know… on Twitter.Elon Musk @elonmuskOn Clubhouse tonight at 10pm LA timeJanuary 31st 202114,010 Retweets219,395 LikesThe conversation about the conversations in Clubhouse also happen on Twitter. When I woke up the morning after Elon's appearance, my entire feed was Tweets about what Elon said, or when he brought Robinhood's Vlad Tenev on-stage. Clubhouse hosts even take audience questions on Twitter. Twitter should be able to close the loop - go live, join the conversation, ask questions, and tweet about the conversation, all in real-time, in one place. Record snippets of public conversations and tweet them directly. DM other participants. Critics argue that, yes, a theoretical Twitter could do that, but actual Twitter, the one that acquired and squandered Vine, can't figure out search, and let DMs turn into a complete warzone, cannot. Twitter can't build product, they say. I'm more optimistic about Twitter's potential here

Amazon is working on a new robotAmazon has more than 800 employees working on a new Alexa powered home robot, with the code name VestaThere's not a huge amount of detail on what the robot may do, but it is described as being about “the size of two small cats” that roams around the house & will have multiple cameras and screens Internally, the project has caused some grief due to delays and redesigns, with some worried the device will have limited “mainstream appeal” - or even worse, become another complete dud, like the Amazon Fire Phone Pete Evans Is Back On Facebook, Which The Company Says Is FineCelebrity chef and expensive lamp seller Pete Evans is back on Facebook In November, Facebook banned the page “Chef Pete Evans” for continually breaking the platform's rules on spreading covid and vaccine misinformation. Evan's new page is there to support Evan's senate race, and is called, Pete Evans – Senate – Great Australia Party'“Facebook has a recidivism policy that prohibits people from creating new Pages that are similar to ones that were removed for violating the platform's rules.” But in this case, Facebook seems to think Pete Evans Potential senator is very different to Pete Evans Chef.

Twitter has a new product manager, the wake of a large re-org of the company announced this week. The changes will see Twitter dividing its business into groups including engineering, product, revenue product, design and research, and more, while also bringing on Kayvon Beykpour, the GM of video and former Periscope CEO, as product head. Beykpour will replaceEd Ho, vice president of product and engineering, as Ho steps down into a part-time role.
In January 2016, Periscope co-founder and CEO Kayvon Beykpour announced more than 100 million broadcasts have been created since Periscope’s launch in March of 2015. Not only are lots of people using Periscope on their phones to easily broadcast videos, but even more people are watching them. According to TechCrunch, 350,000 hours of video is streamed daily, while FastCompany says people are watching 40 years worth of live video every day! As services like Periscope, Blab, and now Facebook begin rolling out their livestream platforms, now is the time to understand the best ways you can use these tools to connect and keep the attention of prospects long enough to turn them into long-time customers. Monique Johnson, CEO and founder of Ehm Ooo Media, produces videos for businesses and brands that tell their unique story. In a recent webinar I hosted for her, she provides a wealth of information on recent livestreaming developments, and best practices for planning, selecting the right platform, and syndicating your videos to get more eyeballs on them.
The live mobile video streaming revolution may have just gotten what it needed to go mainstream. Apple TV now offers a Periscope app, allowing millions of users to watch user generated live streams from the comfort of their own couch. Of course, the writing was on the wall when Periscope first launched “Couch Mode”, a clever way of auto-playing similar streams without the need to select. Then there was the move to landscape mode. Two moves that allow the app to be powerful features on that big screen at home. Here are my three quick conclusions for Apple TV and Periscope: This “partnership” may open up the TV space to other social platforms. Apple will own third party experiences and user generated content. Apple has leverage to negotiate with cable companies for their seemingly inevitable live streaming TV service. The Brand Boost Podcast mission The Brand Boost podcast is the show for brands looking to create the ’start-up sexy’ marketing ideology all while commanding total brand appeal. About Periscope Periscope is a live video streaming app for iOS and Android developed by Kayvon Beykpour and Joe Bernstein. Periscope lets you broadcast live video to the world. Going live will instantly notify your followers who can join, comment and send you hearts in real time. The more hearts you get, the higher they flutter on the screen. Beykpour and Bernstein came up with the idea for Periscope while traveling abroad in 2013. Beykpour was in Istanbul when protests broke out in Taksim Square. He wanted to see what was happening there, so he turned to Twitter. While he could read about the protests, he couldn't see them. They started the company in February 2014, under the name Bounty. They raised $1.5 million from Founder Collective, Scott Belsky, Maveron, Google Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Bessemer, Stanford – StartX and Sam Shank in April 2014. Periscope was acquired Jan, 2015 by Twitter before the product had been publically launched. One investor source says the acquisition amount was "sizeable", above $50 million. Another says it fell between $75 and $100 million. A third says the deal was "smallish". The acquisition was officially announced in a tweet from Periscope and retweeted by Twitter CEO Dick Costolo on March 13 after the rival video streaming app Meerkat was a breakout hit at South by Southwest 2015 (Mar 13-17). Meerkat became the talk of SXSW partially due to Twitter cutting Meerkat off from its social graph just as the festival was starting.[8] Periscope was launched on March 26, 2015.[9][10] Later, on May 2

Deze week bespreken we de volgende onderwerpen: Facebook Messenger Facebook maakte deze week bekend dat het mogelijk wordt om binnen Facebook Messenger apps aan te bieden die de chatdienst verrijken. Het wordt bijvoorbeeld mogelijk om via een ingebouwde Giphy-app gifjes uit te zoeken en te sturen aan vrienden. Met de verandering wordt Facebook Messenger een heel eigen platform, in plaats van een kale chatdienst als alle anderen. Hoe verandert dit de positie van Facebook op de mobiele markt en wat betekent dit voor Whatsapp, de andere chat-app die in handen van Facebook is? Periscope Twitter lanceerde deze week de livestreaming-app Periscope, waarmee het bedrijf de concurrentie met het plotseling populair geworden Periscope aangaat. Mede-oprichter Kayvon Beykpour van Periscope vertelt over de overname van zijn startup door Twitter en de ambities van het sociale netwerk met de videodienst.
