What's emerging new in 2022?

I am currently writing a paper for a client for internal use and not for publication. It’s primary function is to be a guide to the most commonly used social media platforms and multi-user chat and messaging apps. And very specifically how they apply to my client’s industry sector - so not just a ‘how to Facebook or Insta’ …I’m covering things like Clubhouse and TikTok too. However, my last section is ‘Emerging New’ . Does anyone remember Bebo? Around 2007/8/9 I had a Bebo account (I also had MySpace etc etc etc too) But Bebo is relaunching as a ‘community app’ and I’ll include it in my paper.So, what’s new in 2022?

Insta Posts on Desktop (finally)

Im told this was announced last week, but for those who don’t know I was happily surprised to see Instagram now allows you to post directly via your laptop/desktop browser. A rather Instagram-esque plus sign denotes your ability to perform a heretofore impossible task- save for using Sprout, naturally. I have only tried this using Chrome, and to my elation, multi-format/carousel posts are possible.  Hopefully more functionality will roll out in the foreseeable future, including (and especially) deeper analytics external to Facebook’s option.

Social Listening

Hi,Especially for the people using Sprout Social Listening…I’m very interested in knowing how you use the Sprout Social Listening. What sort of topics you have set up, how you fine tuned them etc, and what sort of outcomes you are getting.Just FYI: I’m quite familiar with Sprout, we, quite extensively, use Publishing, Reports and InBox - we use tags and inbox rules etc and we’ve been using Sprout for more than ten years (2009 if I recall) And, although we are a small consultancy we work for some fairly large companies from Media to Insurance for whom we assist with social media management, moderation and forensics. We are beginning to see some possibilities for us using Listening.
