In today’s digital age, Instagram has become a coveted platform for building an audience, establishing a brand identity, and even achieving online fame. With over 2 billion monthly active users, the potential for exposure is undeniable. However, breaking through the noise and carving your niche in this crowded space can be a daunting task.
The recent sale of Twitter to Elon Musk has hit the headlines for all kinds of reasons. Unusually, for something to do with popular culture, one of the main aspects of the deal which has caught the attention of the wider public is the HR fallout after the apparent breakdown in relations between the existing staff and their new CEO. With a global workforce, there will be some staff involved in this who are governed by UK and/or European employment laws. So what are the potential implications of this for Twitter’s new owner? Image Credit Due process According to numerous reports, staff were told that they had to decide whether to commit to Twitter’s new working hours and regime (in essence, more hours and more work to do within them) or take three months’ severance pay and look for new employment. Clearly, this is not an acceptable way to manage redundancies, although it would appear that this situation persists in Twitter’s global subsidiaries, with no regard for the proper consultation process. It is likely that UK-based staff would be able to explore a constructive dismissal claim, if, for example, they were unable to work the new hours but were given no alternative option. ACAS has produced a thorough guide to this area of employment law. Further advice can also be found at www.employmentlawfriend.co.uk/constructive-dismissal. European Working Time rules also state that employees should not be expected to work excessive hours, and protections exist for any employee who has been directed to break this agreement without their express consent. Changes in flexible working arrangements, where staff are now expected to attend their offices rather than honouring previously agreed work-from-home arrangements, is another risky policy that could lead to tribunal claims being made. Twitter, as we know it? So with the potential avalanche of employment tribunal cases that could result from such wholesale and unilateral changes to employees’ terms and conditions, there are clearly negative financial implications for the company. Since these jobs that staff have left do not all appear to be redundant by any means, will the loss of knowledge and experience from these teams also hamper Twitter going forward? Almost certainly. The negative media coverage of employee relations at Twitter will likely make it hard to recruit replacement staff, certainly experienced ones who will no doubt have other options available to them. The loss of experienced staff may well impact the functionality of the site and this will not do anything to retain users. Fewer users, of course, means reduced advertising revenue, although it should be noted that some major brands have resumed purchasing advertising space on the platform in recent days. Image Credit Overall, the recent resignations could have a major impact on Twitter for two reasons. Firstly the potential for constructive dismissal claim and other possible breaches of UK employment law for those employees based in the UK. The financial impact of this on such a huge company is likely to be negligible but the loss of experienced and knowledgeable staff, and the difficulties in finding new talent willing to replace them, could be far more problematic. The reputational damage of having employment practices called into question can be severe for any company, and this should always be considered when making any substantial changes in the workplace.
Sometimes, it’s fun to look back in time. You can see where you were and how far you’ve come. It’s like a life map that shows all the places you’ve been and all the things you’ve done. That’s pretty cool, right? Well, Instagram bios are kind of like that—they show where your account has been and what it was when it started out! Here’s how to access old bio text on Instagram: How to see your old instagram bios? The good news is that you can still find them! The bad news is that they’re not in the same place as they used to be. Instagram has changed its platform a lot since then and now doesn’t show them in the same place on the app. It used to be that every time you opened up Instagram, there was an option at the bottom of your profile page (under your bio) called “View Old Bio.” But now this link is gone! You have to use another tool instead—one of these tools is WayBackMachine.com You can only see it if you use an archive website. For example, if you want to see your old instagram bios, here are some tips: Find the archive of that specific page’s Instagram page and copy the URL of that page into https://archive.org/web/. Click on “Crawl this URL” in order to find all photos related with this Instagram image archive webpage – and then scroll down until you find an image that looks like an old version of your profile picture (the one before updating). There will be a blue triangle next to it which means that when clicked upon will show even older versions if any exist! You may need several clicks for every new version or else just go back one after another until reaching the oldest version possible (which hopefully will have no blue triangles).3 Use a tool to search for a social media profile’s history But you can use a tool to search for a social media profile’s history. If you’re curious about what your public Instagram account looked like in 2010, or if you want to see whether there were any embarrassing tweets from your past that you should probably delete, here’s how to do it. You’ll have to go through one of two websites: WayBackMachine.com and the official website of Way Back Machine (waybackmachine.org). Both sites let you look up URLs through their archives, but they require different logins in order to access the data they have stored on different pages. To start with, go to waybackmachine.org and enter the URL of any Twitter profile (or other social media platform) that interests you into their search bar at the top of their page—this will pull up links from that page over time so that people can see what it looked like at different points in its history, including today or years ago when it was first created by whoever managed it then. The available links of that profile over time Next, you will be shown the available links of that profile over time. This can help you see your old Instagram bio and also get an idea about what type of content you were posting at that particular time. You might notice that some of your older posts no longer exist on Instagram or have been removed by yourself or someone else. There are two ways to check this: Use archive websites like webcite (archive.is) or the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine to check archived versions of your own Instagram account; these archives work because they use a cache system where they download images from the website itself and store them in their database so they can be viewed later by anyone who wants to see them; these websites only work if they’ve been archived first so they may not work all the time You can use archive websites to see your instagram bio over time, however they only work if they’ve been archived first so they may not work all the time If you want to see your old Instagram bios, but you can’t find a way to get them back, you’re not out of luck. There are archive websites that will allow you to do this. However, they only work if the person has been archived first so it may not work all the time. If none of these methods work for you and your account is gone forever, don’t worry! You can start fresh with a new account and just delete the old one when it comes up again in search results. Conclusion This is a great way to see how your bios have changed over time and also a way to see if any kind of spam or other malicious activity has occurred on your account. It’s always important to make sure that everything is running smoothly on all social media platforms, especially after something like GDPR which makes it harder for companies like Facebook or Instagram to keep our data safe from hackers!

To do this: Click on the icon of a person with a plus symbol beside it (see image below). This will take you to their profile page where there is an option for sending them an invitation. If they are not listed as being friends with you and/or follow you, then they will receive a notification asking if they want to follow your account as well as liking it. Conclusion You can now invite your friends to your Instagram page. The process is pretty simple and you’ll soon be able to share the content from your profile with others. If they don’t have their own account yet, they will be asked to create one before joining in on the fun!
These are six alternatives to YouTube, different pages and video applications that, in some cases, can replace YouTube or be an ideal companion both to have a laugh and to find content that may not be on the Google platform. It is clear that, on its own merits, YouTube has almost become synonymous with Internet video. It is a platform that has overcome the envy of other video systems and that, despite all the controversy that arose a few months ago with the famous. Many YouTube users have moved to other platforms, and that is precisely what we are going to talk about in the following lines, of the main alternatives to YouTube that, in some cases are better for content creators and in others for those who just want to consume said content. And we start with one of the best alternatives to YouTube, especially for the quality of your video compressor and the image quality it offers. Alternatives to YouTube that are even better Dailymotion One of the best alternatives to YouTube is Dailymotion. Actually, it has been there since 2005, and little by little it becomes a very important option. Maybe because of the break that YouTube seems to be having or because the compression quality is lower, and the video quality is higher. It is not the lightest Internet application since the videos weigh more than YouTube, but if you are content creators, you will not have to wait so long until the video is processed (it is one of YouTube’s weak points) and it is an alternative for both creators and consumers of content (and the filter is not as beast as YouTube). Metacafe It is an alternative to YouTube that specializes in short, very short videos that rarely exceed one minute. The filters are non-existent and we can watch videos of almost all types, and the best thing is that it is very simple. That is, it is really simple both the interface and the system of recommended and new content, if you are one of those who have little time to watch videos on the subway, for example, it is a page you should visit. Of course, to upload short videos, there are other alternatives that we will see later. Twitch Twitch does not need a presentation, and the truth is that it has evolved as a platform in recent years. It is the quintessential platform for esports, and many content creators are moving to Twitch. It is a very interesting application to watch streaming videos, and it also allows us to watch “ programs ” in deferred. It is very easy to use, intuitive and, in addition, it has an application so that we can stream without too many problems. It serves both to consume and to create content. In addition, if you have an Amazon Prime Video subscription, you have Twitch Premium and you can enjoy advantages when watching videos. 9 GAG We can not say that 9GAG is an alternative to YouTube, but a very interesting website if what you want is content to use on Twitter, in the form of funny memes or answers, go. On the main page is the newest content, but we have many categories with content to “ appropriate ” to always have an original response. Vimeo Vimeo is not an alternative to YouTube, it is a compliment. It’s something … different, because it serves mostly to consume content, and the truth is that the quality of the videos is very high. It has a premium model that allows us to access better content, but the open web is very worthwhile since there is high-quality content. TikTok The last alternative to YouTube both to consume content and, above all, to create it is TikTok. This is an app that hit the ball a few months ago and is specialized in short videos. Actually, it is a Chinese social network that is a mixture of Twitter and Instagram and, how could it be otherwise, is based on the video. Short videos that, above all, arouse the creativity of users. It is clear that YouTube remains the queen in terms of consumption of content on the Internet, but we have left six alternatives of the most interesting.
Telegram may not be as popular as WhatsApp, but it is the messaging application preferred by many. This instant messaging service owes its popularity to interesting features such as bots, hidden chats, messages that are automatically deleted, support for large files and much more. In addition to these features, Telegram is known for being a very secure messaging application, since it is based on the MTProto Mobile protocol, which supports full encryption of the chats. However, the application may not be as secure as you would like. Today we share the best alternatives to Telegram. A user has recently posted an update on Twitter that suggests that Telegram records every message pasted in Syslog on macOS, even when you’re using hidden or undercover chats. Telegram CEO, Pavel Durov, avoided the problem in time, but although Telegram for macOS has been updated to correct this, we suggest you use a different messaging application if you really want a safer solution. Best alternatives to Telegram 1. Viber Viber beats Telegram when it comes to security, as it has full encryption of messages, calls, photos, and videos. Even the messages between different platforms are encrypted. In addition to security aspects, Viber allows you to make free audio and video calls to other Viber users. But that’s not all since it also allows you to make international calls to people who do not use Viber. It is a great alternative to Telegram for its functionalities, such as support for multiple devices, labels, and hidden or undercover chats. Viber also offers you public games and chats. The only additional feature that Telegram has are bots, which if you don’t use them too much, Viber is a very good alternative for you. Availability: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows (Apps). 2. WhatsApp You may have used WhatsApp or are using it at present, but if you are one of those who have left this instant messaging application on Telegram due to certain security concerns, it is time to return. Unlike Telegram, which only offers you full encryption on its hidden chats, WhatsApp offers you encryption everywhere. Whether in chats, calls, shared media, etc; Everything is encrypted in WhatsApp, which means that nobody, not even WhatsApp developers, can read your messages. In addition, WhatsApp is now totally free, with functions such as calls, backup copies of the chats in Google Drive or iCloud and the ability to format the text, a feature that Telegram does not have. It is one of the best alternatives to Telegram. While Telegram users could miss the support of several devices and independent desktop clients, WhatsApp developers are working on features such as support for GIFs and quality improvement in video calls, so we can also expect a lot from this application in the future. Availability: Web; Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows, macOS (Apps). 3. Threema Threema is another very popular application among people who want a really secure messaging application. The application gives you complete encryption for messages, files and even for the status of the messages. Also, it doesn’t even collect metadata, since group affiliations and contact lists are managed only on your device. The application is open-source, so it also has a very transparent privacy policy, unlike what other companies offer you. Apart from this, Threema offers you a quite complete messaging application with unique functions such as the ability to create surveys and send most of the different types of files. Unlike all the messaging applications on this list, Threema is paid, but it only costs € 2.99, something that doesn’t cost much if you really like it. Availability: Android, iOS, Windows Phone (Apps). 4. Signal Messenger Signal Messenger is an application developed by Open Whisper Systems, the company that has partnered with Facebook to include full encryption in WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. Because of this, it is no surprise that it uses open-source protocols. Signal Messenger has complete encryption of chats, calls and shared data. Apart from security, Signal brings all the usual messaging features along with the ability to make calls. Although it does not offer cross-platform compatibility or feature packages such as Telegram. It is still a pretty good alternative if you can live with it. Availability: Android, iOS (apps), Chrome (Web). 5. Google Allo and Facebook Messenger Similar to Telegram, the next Google messaging application, Allo, not only offers you full encryption enabled by default but also includes an ” Incognito mode ” feature that allows you to speak privately. Even Google’s video messaging application, Duo, also offers you full encryption. The same goes for Facebook Messenger. Facebook has begun testing the Secret Conversations in Messenger, which have full encryption and messages that are automatically deleted. Speaking of Allo, the application should be launched later this year with many more features than Telegram. It offers you the ability to increase the size of fonts in messages, bots and support for GIFs and tags, which makes Allo an excellent alternative to Telegram. The Allo application also features automatic intelligent response functionality based on your previous responses. On the other hand, Facebook Messenger is a well-known messaging application, with functions such as bots, tags, audio and video calls, support for GIFs, etc. With secret conversations. At that, it should become one of the best Telegram alternatives. You can also stay with Telegram Telegram had its advantages over security in the past, but the other companies have reached it quickly. So all applications are very close. Anyway, Telegram also offers other features, such as the ability to send any file up to 2 GB to other users. Although very soon, you can also send larger files, or maybe you can do it while reading this. Currently, it is also possible to use GIFs or stickers and other things that new generations usually send. Even since 2017, it is already possible to make video calls. Although it is not a functionality included in the application you also have the possibility of using two phone numbers at the same
