The News Feed made Facebook an actual social network. In turn, the News Feed became synonymous with social media.
Twitter’s feed was chronological, so you could tweet out a ton of links to content and get consistent clicks from your followers. Facebook’s algorithm was incredibly friendly to “link posts” that sent users to news or blog articles.
Stories let Snapchat users post a series of snaps that would last for 24 hours, and it was an immediate hit.
Stories were so absurd on LinkedIn that the company is shutting it down by the end of this month).
TikTok’s success has often been attributed to its algorithm, which is very good at predicting the type of video you’ll like. But TikTok is also so successful because it plays on the same part of our brain that makes gambling so addictive. random reinforcement
As our research showed earlier this year, people will continue to consume content in an array of different formats—from blog posts to YouTube to podcasts to good old-fashioned memes.

Teaching Crowds: Learning and Social Media by Jon Dron and Terry Anderson Published by Athabasca University, Canada, ISBN: 978-1-927356-81-4 (PDF), September 2014, Pages: 370
(book review)
https://www.dhakacourier.com.bd/news/Essays/Using-social-media-platforms-in-teaching-learning/1051
Dr. Jon Dron and Professor Terry Anderson of Athabasca University, Canada attempt to introduce a new model for understanding and exploiting the pedagogical potential of Web-based technologies. Recognizing the E-learning/ online education as new model of teaching and learning, the authors show how learners can engage with social media platforms to create an unbounded field of emergent connections.
In chapter 9 ‘Issues and Challenges in Educational Uses of Social Software’ , the writers accordingly examine the dark side of social software—the ways in which it can undermine or even jeopardize, rather than deepen and extend, the experience of learning. They present a series of over-arching issues that warrant consideration by anyone who plans to use social software for learning. These include issues surrounding privacy, disclosure, and trust, cross-cultural dissonances, problems posed by the complexities of technology and by the digital divide, unpredictable systemic effects, and risks such as mob stupidity and filter bubbles.

3 types of instructional design on the example of an egg cooking recipe
1. Manual.
“Add salt to the water, boil for 8 minutes, immerse in cold water,” that’s all—a simple sequence of steps.
Manual is the simplest, cheapest, and, unfortunately, the most common type of educational program. Yes, the automatic repetition of actions can lead to something, but any deviation will cause difficulties.
2. Manual with context.
Now imagine this recipe: “During cooking, the shell may crack, and the protein will leak out. To avoid this, add salt to the water. The salt will make the protein curdle.”
The context is added, it is explained why it is necessary to do things in that specific way. This is very important because it provides tools for working with real-life situations.
3. Abstraction.
In fact, this is a context twisted to the maximum. For example: “Salt will make the protein curdle. That is why in the old days, people bandaged purulent wounds with bandages soaked in saltwater.” Two completely different phenomena are taken, and a comparison is made based on a common abstract form.
This type is not always appropriate, but it can ignite the student with unexpected facts and comparisons.
