I was today years old when I learned that you press and hold the send arrow on Teams mobile to schedule a response 👀

In a week of horrendous news, can we spare a moment for New Zealand’s Dept of Conservation on TikTok for their ‘Knobs of New Zealand’ It’s the content I needed to close out the week.

I have been mistaken for a librarian twice today. That’s fine, right? Bookish is cool 🤷🏻‍♀️

Please can someone round up all the people posting bonkers conspiracy theories in the comments of brand accounts? We need a word with them. Thanks - Community Managers

Thought-provoking morning at the CharityComms Social Media Network, chaired by @helenolszowska.bsky.social, discussing the bin fire that is X, how social media teams can look after their wellbeing (by @socialaf.bsky.social) & whether Bluesky is the alternative - presented by @madlinsudn.bsky.social

Car wouldn’t start this morning. That means the rest of the week can only get better, right?

Enjoying some LinkedIn strategy work for one client, And some pretty nice LI company page month end stats for another. Sorry @bsky.app, your time will come.

So much shifting for businesses and charities at the moment. It’s hard to know what next year might look like. What are your predictions?

It’s acceptable to do interviews in a woolly hat today, right? Very eye-opening to talk to the Good Things Foundation about the impact of digital exclusion.

Obligatory snow post…

I can’t decide whether this should be a charity and good biz marketing… …or Mr Pudding fan account?

"Bluesky is the future of social media—thanks to the ability to choose your own algorithm and control what you see." www.newscientist.com/article/2456... I think we're all fed up with Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and especially X deciding what content we see in our feeds.

Great session with SARSAS this morning to kick off an audience journey project.

Should BlueSky be part of your charity or good biz audience journey? It’s growing fast! According to the BBC BlueSky is adding more than 1 million users a day. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8dm0ljg4y6o (1/9)

If feels like the entire left-leaning world just mass migrated to @bsky.app 😳

Enjoying this trend. A lot.

Take a moment. Then we go again.

Saying this now because it’s true whatever the outcome: the UK govt and others will face a big choice on regulation of Twitter before the next major election. Are we comfortable with public debate being censored and manipulated to support one party in an election? 1/n

Erm…thanks Spotify 🍁 😢

I've been on bsky as my primary social network for a while now but I just ran this twitter follower bridging app again and found a bunch more people that I'd formerly been following, so worth doing again periodically as lots more people have been arriving! chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-f...
