5 New Social Platform Features You Need to Know About(Technology and Data trending new)
Almost every day, there’s something new in the social media space . With so many platforms now (there are more than in existence), and billions of users across the world, there’s also an increasing need to innovate and evolve in order to stay ahead of the competition. Some of these features are major – Twitter announcing the pending closure of Vine, for example – yet there are also a lot of smaller updates, trials and tests that can go under the radar, but are important to know about and stay on top of. Even if not all of these features materialize from such tests, they provide an interesting indicator of where each platform is looking, at what pain points they’re seeking to fix or tools they're looking to facilitate in future. As part of our ongoing effort to provide you with the best coverage of the latest social media news and insights, we feel it’s important to cover all of these updates and tests, but sometimes they’re not worthy of a their own individual post. So to keep you up to date on these smaller changes and features, here’s a rundown of five upcoming or “in test mode” features that are currently being trialed by some of the major platforms - starting with Twitter, which is looking to roll out a new option to tackle on-platform abuse. 1. Twitter Filters Twitter’s battle with trolls and abuse has been well-documented – it was even cited as a key reason that some potential buyers (including Disney) walked away from making a bid for the platform recently. How Twitter goes about resolving that issue, no one knows for sure, but it is a major problem that the platform needs to resolve – and it’s only a matter of time before we see another high profile case of on-platform abuse that once again shines a light on the issue and brings more bad press for the company. Recently, Twitter introduced a new “Quality Filter” option which utilizes an AI-powered algorithm to detect and eliminate questionable tweets from your timeline, including threats and offensive or abusive language. And recently, some people were given access to Twitter’s next option on this front – a new tool which enables users to mute specific words and hashtags from your timeline.
