On Tuesday 11/17 two major platforms rolled out two major features to their platforms. Instagram has announced that it will roll out a new feature called “Guides,” which allowed creators to share tips, resources and other longer-form content in a dedicated tab on their user profiles. Initially, Instagram limited Guides to a select group of creators who were publishing content focused on mental health and well-being. 

The company says it’s making the format available to all users, and expanding Guides to include other types of content, as well — including Products, Places and Posts.

In other news  Twitter on Tuesday announced a global launch of “Fleets,” the ephemeral tweeting feature it first talked about earlier this year and tested in various markets around the globe.

Now, any mobile Twitter user, regardless of where they live or what platform they’re on, will have access to the disappearing messaging feature, which will sit right at the top of the timeline in a row of Stories-like bubbles.

So how do you stay current with the new trends of social media? Tune into the episode to find out.... click the play button, grab paper and pen and enjoy!!
