There'll be no update tomorrow as I'll be heading to Cornwall for the weekend.

Back on Monday.

Have a productive day and a relaxing weekend!

Following yesterday's item on Apple deleting its tweets, it turns out that @Apple has in fact never tweeted (organically that is).

Thanks to @Wedge on Twitter for pointing this out.

Instagram is getting closer to launching its Communities feature which will be called Channels.

You can create a social Channel around a shared topic of interest. Admins can add (up to 250) and delete members and remove inappropriate content.

Thanks to @hammodoh1 on Twitter for this one.

LinkedIn is rolling out scheduling on Android and desktop.

Thanks to Matt Navarra for highlighting this and to Nima Owji who spotted the development which I flagged up here back in August.

I discovered this morning that you can create Polls in Chats and Group Chats on the WhatsApp mobile apps...particularly useful for Group Chats.

Just go to your Chat and click the paper clip icon to find Polls.

The Polls feature will be available on WhatsApp Desktop shortly too.

I was amused to read this advice within an email from a Finance company yesterday on how to save money.

Point 5 sounds good 😀
