Back in March, the actress donned a sheer Christian Siriano butterfly-embellished crop top and tulle ball skirt from the designer's pre-fall 2021 collection for a backyard photo shoot, proving she doesn't need a red carpet to make a major fashion statement.

Looking to get a better understanding of the Instagram algorithm, and how it decides what content to show each individual user - and how you can use that to your own advantage? You're in luck - this week, as part of its Creator Week event, Instagram is providing some extra insight into its internal processes via series of explainers, with the first focused on the infamous feed algorithm, and how it actually dictates content reach in the app. As explained by Instagram: "We want to do a better job of explaining how Instagram works. There are a lot of misconceptions out there, and we recognize that we can do more to help people understand what we do. Today, we’re sharing the first in a series of posts that will shed more light on how Instagram’s technology works and how it impacts the experiences that people have across the app." The post covers a range of key elements that can help to facilitate more understanding, and improve your planning in the app. Here's a look at the key points. There's not one, all-encompassing algorithm Instagram first notes that its processes are not defined by a single algorithm, so the idea of…

TikTok has announced that applications for this year’s ‘Support Black Businesses’ are now open to black-owned small businesses.All small businesses were tragically affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but small black-owned businesses felt more of a struggle, as more than half of them saw their revenue drop – compared to 37% of white-owned businesses.TikTok is stepping up again to show support and provide means and tools for the black-owned business community with the next cohort of the Support Black Businesses initiative.Launched last year, Support Black Businesses gives black entrepreneurs access to an online hub where they can find community support, inspiration, exposure, and patronage. Over the last year, the initiative also saw a donation of half a million dollars to the Accion Opportunity Fund last summer, which offered some relief for black-owned small businesses at the peak of the pandemic.This year, TikTok is partnering with Vimeo to help provide skills, tools, and support, in the hardest-hit communities to help businesses advertise in the digital space, drive sales, and rebuild their businesses.“Video is the most engaging medium available to businesses large and small to communicate, collaborate and connect,” said Harris Beber, CMO at Vimeo.“What we have learned from the pandemic is that using video…

working together getty LinkedIn pages aren’t a great standalone marketing tool, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have potential to make an impact. They may not be a lead generation tool, but are a great way to support your employees, encourage them, and help increase their success on LinkedIn. Corporate pages don’t typically garner high engagement rates, or gaudy numbers of followers, but that’s only because of the way most users interact with LinkedIn. They typically are following 10x more people than companies. I always joke that nobody wakes up in the morning and wonder first thing what a specific corporation has shared on LinkedIn. Social media is about people, hence the word “social.” Once you change your mindset and accept that LinkedIn corporate pages will never be a good tool for lead generation, you can instead generate positive awareness for your business. Here are three great ways to do it: Accolades Surprisingly, accolades perform extremely well on LinkedIn and generate some of the highest engagement numbers. When an individuals wins an award, most are uncomfortable sharing about it. Optimistically, it looks gracious; worst case, it looks narcissistic. The alternative is that the company page shares it out and tags…

A huge internet outage has affected large swaths of the internet, including major sites like Amazon, Reddit, Twitter and Twitch, along with news sites including the New York Times and The Guardian. The source of the problem is the Fastly content delivery network (CDN), which has confirmed a global disruption. On its status page, Fastly said "we're currently investigating potential impact to performance with our CDN services."  Other affected sites include Stack Overflow, GitHub, gov.uk, Hulu, HBO Max, Quora, PayPal, Vimeo and Shopify, as our sister site TechCrunch has noted. While some are completely down with 503 errors, only images are affected on certain sites like Twitter and Amazon.  Fastly describes itself as an "edge" network, sitting between users and websites. It includes their content delivery network, image optimization, video and streaming, cloud security, and load balancing services. Much like with Cloudflare, which went down last year, a failure on Fastly can affect enormous areas of the internet.  Update 6/8/2021 6:49 AM ET: Fastly now states that "the issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented." Hopefully, that means the internet will return to normal shortly. All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of…

Twitch has been cracking down on content that could be vulnerable to DMCA takedowns over the past year and according to one streamer, their policy has gotten a whole lot stricter. Musician and Twitch partner AyyTrae shared during a recent stream that she had received an email from the platform informing her that her covers could wind up resulting in her receiving a DMCA strike on her channel. “Previously Twitch said it was fine as long as you’re controlling every aspect of the music so I was playing the guitar and I was singing,” AyyTrae said. “So it should have been fine but now they’re saying that I cannot have covers of music.” The streamer continued on explaining that she would still be able to stream herself performing the covers but at the conclusion of each stream, she will need to have the audio removed from the VOD to avoid being flagged. While covers aren’t commonly thought of to be targets for DMCA takedowns they still breach the copyright infringement laws over the composition of a song, leaving them vulnerable to being flagged. AyyTrae’s words come just over a week after Twitch sent out a batch of DMCA takedown notices…
