GU Live Lunch – Ep 190
We discuss the news articles of the week including new Instagram DM filters, LinkedIn polls, blog writing, events and so much more.
Key Takeaways:
06:22 – Are you noticing an increase in polls in your LinkedIn feed? Christina certainly has and we think this may be due to a recent report released by Richard Van Der Blom. “LinkedIn Algorithm Insights 2024” looks at the latest changes to LinkedIn’s distribution systems, based on analysis of over 1.5 million posts, from over 34,000 individual profiles, as well as more than 26,000 company pages and has reported polls reach 1.62x more people than any other post.

09:21 – Is there a magic formula for what type of posts you should be posting? How many times per week should you be posting? Christina shares her insights into those questions.
13:44 – OMG STOP! What is that annoying chirping noise on Facebook? You’ll be pleased to know it’s a glitch, not a new feature. https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news…
18:10 – Instagram has added a ‘People You Follow’ filter for your direct messages. The filter will enable you to filter your inbox to only messages from profiles that you follow in the app. The new “People you follow” option will enable you to prioritise DMs from only the profiles that you’ve chosen to follow, which could make it easier to prioritise personal connections. https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news…
19:32 – Instagram is now limiting the number of hashtags you can use per post. Previously it was recommended to use anywhere between 10-30 hashtags. Users will now only be able to use 5 hashtags per update. https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news…
20:20 – Do you hate writing blogs/copy? Do you get writer’s block? Every Friday at 10AM, Christina publishes the Green Umbrella blog – but it’s not always a task that brings her much joy.
24:56 – Why we’re not massive fans of ChatGPT and other AI tools!
29:24 – Instagram is testing carousel posts within Reels. Similar to a previous TikTok update, Instagram is looking to increase engagement by allowing users to post multiple videos and/or still images in a single Reels post. https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news…
30:27 – If you’re not using CapCut to help create video…then what are you doing?! Kim raves about the video editor and graphic design tool. Download at https://www.capcut.com/
32:15 – Next week kicks off a busy month for events and webinars. The Recruitment Marketing Congress is happening on the 20th. Visit https://www.crowdcast.io/c/rmcongress… to find out more.
