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.

So far today I’ve been offered remote staff from South Africa and a workshop on how to exit my business. I think I’ll just keep helping charities and purpose-led businesses with their digital journeys, thanks ♥️

Is the £110 entry fee worth it to fool the world into thinking that I’m under 35 instead of over 40?!

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

Madeleine Sugden on Zoom, presenting on Bluesky. The slide asks whether your charity has a future on X and there is an image of a spiderweb.

Not me crying every time I see a hashtag because social SEO is killing them off. RIP hashtags. PS. The Potnoodle is not mine.

The image shows the under side of a pot noodle lid. The copy on the lid reads, “there’s no time to waste, lift the lid of success #youcanmakeit”

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.

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.

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

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...

Genuine question: if I describe myself as a Content Marketing Strategist… …do you think, ‘yep’ or ‘all I’m hearing is blah, blah, blah’ 🤔
