Instagram Is Now Curating Your Feed - Just Like Facebook and Twitter

Instagram announced today via blog post and NYT interview that they’re beginning to test an algorithm-based feed, similar to those used by Facebook and recently introduced by Twitter. According to Kevin Systrom, co-founder and chief executive of Instagram, “on average, people miss about 70 percent of the posts in their Instagram feed.”

From NYT:
Instagram plans to rely on its machine -learning technology and a mix of signals to determine the order of photos and videos in users’ feeds, including the likelihood a person will be interested in the content, the timeliness of the posts and the relationship between the two users. As they are now, posts will be clearly stamped with the date they occurred.

While the new algorithm-based feed won’t directly affect brands advertising on the platform, it does bring into question how it will affect content brands post organically. I don’t have any research to support this, but I’d guess the vast majority of brands people follow on IG aren’t among the top 10-20% of accounts they most frequently interact with. Will brand’s posts show up in a curated section of the feed? 


It seems the content our brands organically post on IG will undoubtedly get pushed further and further down the feed. Will users visit the platform often enough or scroll down long enough to see them? Is the ultimate goal to force brands into advertising on the platform if they want their followers to see the content, a la Facebook (which owns IG)? One thing’s for sure: creative on IG will have to work twice as hard to earn its place at the top of users (soon to be) curated feeds.

Will The Real Republican Please Stand-Up! [Video Spoof]

Someone saw fit to cut up the first Republican Presidential Debate into a rap timed to Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady". There's no title to the video, but it would undoubtedly be "Will The Real Republican Presidential Candidate Please Stand Up". It absolutely slanders the Republican party by taking everything liberals don't like about them, distorting the clips, and recreating them as ether-esque bars of steel. Props to whoever had the time and patience to do this. That person has real talent.

This Church Choir Has a New Song...Titled "Keep Your Business off of Facebook"


I can't with this. This shit is too funny. The lyrics, from what I can make out

Well you need to keep your business off of Facebook.
You need to keep your business off of Facebook.
The things that you say, your neighbor's gonna find out about it anyway
You need to keep your business off of Facebook.


Keep your business off of Facebook
Keep your business off of Facebook
The pictures that you post, you need to quit it cuz you're doing the most
You need to keep your business off of Facebook

Keep your business off of Facebook
Keep your business off of Facebook
Sunday you act like a saint, but your Facebook (inaudible)
You need to keep your business, keep your business, keep your business, keep your business off of Facebook
