An article from You likely already know this - or at least, you probably suspected. But a new report from ToolTester has shown that Instagram is the social media platform that’s seen the most outages over the past year. The report, which utilizes info from Downdetector.com, highlights the online platforms that have experienced the most outages over the previous 12 months, with gaming-based platforms Discord and Steam leading the way. On the social media front, Instagram is out in front, with 192 total outages in the US and the UK, while Twitter (54 outages) and Snapchat (48) came second and third, respectively. Of course, most of these errors were rectified quickly, so people haven’t had to go too long without posting updates and scrolling their feeds. But it’s interesting to note the challenges at IG, which has continued to add new features like Reels, IGTV, Stories, etc. Could it be getting too overloaded, or is it just a matter of increased usage – which is a good problem to have?

An article from With Christmas now only 100 days away, Instagram has today launched a new guide to help brands maximize their promotional efforts on the platform, specifically focused on the use of Instagram’s Shops and other eCommerce features. The new ‘Holiday Szn’ mini-site provides a range of pointers on key promotional and eCommerce tools, with links to more in-depth overviews and explainers on each. The guide also includes usage insights and tips on elements like product details, ads, shopping tags and more. The main overview is fairly brief, pointing off to other areas for case studies and tips. But still, it could help to guide your Instagram marketing approach, or alert you to elements that you may not have considered. Like, say, product tags in Reels. Instagram is still working to promote Reels usage wherever it can, even testing a new Reels-specific element in hashtag search for some users (via @SMTSsocial). Given that focus, it could be worth considering testing out Reels for your promotions this holiday season, and the guide provides specific pointers on this, as well as tagging products in all the platform’s shopping surfaces. Many of these overviews have existed for some time, but the guide…

Boards are notorious for group think and spinelessness. In Facebook’s case, a board could make a difference.Documents reported by the Wall Street Journal earlier this week revealed a secret system at Facebook to coddle the posts of politicians and celebrities, as well as internal stats on the full extent of psychological harm that Instagram causes teen girls. Both issues were long suspected. Both are now backed by startling evidence.What they boil down to is this: Facebook, like the oil and tobacco companies of years ago, has been far too secretive about the impact of its products on human life.When U.S. Senators asked Facebook last month about Instagram’s impact on teen mental health, the company did not answer. The reason is likely because its internal stats looked so bad: A third of teenage girls who already felt negatively about their bodies felt worse when they went on Instagram, according to the Journal’s reporting, which cited documents from a person seeking federal whistleblower protection. Facebook has also deflected public questioning of XCheck, the internal system that allowed more than 5 million elite users like celebrities and politicians to skirt Facebook’s content rules.  » Read More
