As of October this year, desktop users of Instagram now have the ability to upload photos and videos to their accounts. Previously Instagram only allowed photos and videos to be added through the mobile app. This change in features is a blessing for social media managers and consultants because you no longer are tied into your phone to post content to a client's Instagram account...and you no longer have to come up with shortcuts for saving videos to your phone to upload to Instagram.

Great news from Instagram about the new link sticker feature, which replaced the swipe up feature previously used in the Story feature. After initially limiting the link sticker feature (and swipe up) to verified accounts and those accounts that had 10,000 or more followers, just last month, Instagram opened the link feature up to all accounts.

Big Changes Coming to LinkedIn Stories!
After almost an entire year in the wild, LinkedIn is pulling its Stories feature and sending it back to the shop for upgrades. If you’re not familiar, Stories are LinkedIn’s way of allowing its users to share videos and images for a specified amount of time (usually 24 hours) before they disappear. This is a more basic version of what other social platforms are doing with this kind of transient content. Instagram most famously uses this feature and is killing it with its multitude of features and ways to create a Story for your account. I reviewed Stories last year when LinkedIn first introduced them and it seems that some of my concerns were shared by others who provided feedback to LinkedIn, and now they are pulling the feature at the end of September. Check out this notice that I received in my inbox this morning from the LinkedIn Stories Team.
