Facebook is testing a snooze function that mutes a page for a certain period, rather than forever. This would be even more useful on Twitter, where usually lovely. On Wednesday, Facebook announced the rollout of Watch, what it is calling “a new platform for shows on Facebook.” It’s yet another foray by the social media.

The Facebook Mom Problem Is Real. My mom loves me. But she also “likes” me—a lot. And apparently, when she does so on Facebook, it’s hurting my chances of becoming the next viral sensation. On his blog, engineer Chris Aldrich explains what he calls The Facebook Algorithm Mom Problem. When you post something on Facebook, and your mom is the first to like it (and how can she not?

Facebook thinks it’s a family- related piece of content and sets the audience accordingly. Facebook’s process for determining what goes into your News Feed is frustratingly opaque. However,…Read more Read. Here’s Aldrich’s dilemma: I write my content on my own personal site. I automatically syndicate it to Facebook. My mom, who seems to be on Facebook 2.

The Facebook algorithm immediately thinks that because my mom liked it, it must be a family related piece of content–even if it’s obviously about theoretical math, a subject in which my mom has no interest or knowledge. My mom has about 1. Facebook; 4. 5 of them overlap with mine and the vast majority of those are close family members). The algorithm narrows the presentation of the content down to very close family. Then my mom’s sister sees it and clicks “like” moments later. Now Facebook’s algorithm has created a self- fulfilling prophesy and further narrows the audience of my post. As a result, my post gets no further exposure on Facebook other than perhaps five people–the circle of family that overlaps in all three of our social graphs.

I, too, have a like- happy mom. Two seconds after I post a story I’ve written—say, a 3,0. She hasn’t read it, and probably never will, but she likes seeing her daughter’s face on her computer, and really, who can protest the unconditional support? But because of her eager click, Facebook lumps the content in with my photos of Baby’s First Avocado, and shows it only to a small group of family members. While early likes by other relatives may have a similar effect, Aldrich says the algorithm problem does seem to be mostly mom- oriented. Until Facebook stops penalizing mom auto- likes, Aldrich writes that you can sidestep the problem with a little extra effort. Here’s how to make sure your Facebook posts reach an audience beyond Mom, Aunt Susie and Uncle Ken in Kansas.

Set the privacy settings of your post to either “Friends except mom” or “Public except mom.”I know what you’re thinking. How awful! How can you do that to your own mother?

As CNN reports, Scaramucci is getting some help with his broadcast from Fox News co-president Bill Shine, but it’s not yet clear how you’ll be able to watch the.

Did you know that birthing you took 3. Millennials! Wait, wait, wait, everyone.

There’s a step two. At the end of the day, or as soon as it seems as though the post reached its maximum audience, change the audience settings to “friends” or “public.” Aldrich has been doing this, and has been seeing more impressions on his posts.

We Regret To Inform You That The Mooch Cancelled The Event To Spend More Time With His Family Which Is Probably For The Best If You Heard About The Fact That He Missed His Kid's Birth To Spend Time With Trump]Anthony “the Mooch” Scaramucci may have lasted just 1. White House before getting booted, but America hasn’t gotten rid of him.

The widely ridiculed Trump regime official says he plans to host an online event on Friday. Because Scaramucci clearly isn’t ready to give up the limelight just yet. As CNN reports, Scaramucci is getting some help with his broadcast from Fox News co- president Bill Shine, but it’s not yet clear how you’ll be able to watch the event. All we know so far is that it will air sometime during the day to “address the American people directly.”Scaramucci was fired by new White House Chief of Staff John Kelly after the Mooch gave a crass interview to the New Yorker where he said things like, “I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock.” President Trump reportedly loved the interview, but it didn’t sit well with some conservatives who presumably find autofellatio to be against God’s will.

Alt- right vlogger Mike Cernovich obtained a copy of an internal memo that laid out Scaramucci’s grand plan for the White House communications team and posted it on Medium. And it might give a hint for what Scaramucci has in store for us. The memo describes, among other things, ways to turn the White House into a content- generating machine using platforms like Facebook Live. Scaramucci even specifically said that the White House should be producing “The President Donald J.

Trump” show. With all the constant coverage of this disastrous presidency on cable news, you’d be forgiven for thinking that we already have The Donald J. Trump Show. From the memo: d) People are fascinated by the lives of their Presidents and the operation of the White House. POTUS is the greatest TV star in history.

Comms should produce video content that constructively operates as “The President Donald J. Trump” show. Obama scratched the surface of this. POTUS should take it to the next levele) Rather than traditional press conferences, POTUS should take questions from real citizens via Facebook live and/or other social media platforms. Comms should consider a range of ideas including a modernized fireside chats where POTUS sits with a Cabinet member (and/or senior government official) to discuss the relevant issues. Perhaps, Sarah or Kellyanne could act as a moderator.

These videos should have running times of between 1. Scaramucci may not have the opportunity to spread Trump’s message of hate and bigotry anymore—though judging by the president’s press conference yesterday, he’s doing just fine on his own. But thanks to technology, Americans will get at least one more taste of the Mooch on Friday, presumably using some of the ideas he wasn’t able to implement during his short tenure. The only question will be whether anyone bothers to tune in.[CNN and Medium]Correction: This post originally misspelled the word “autofellatio.” I regret the error and send my most sincere apologies to the very talented Mr. Bannon. Update, 1: 3.

Well, that was quick. Scaramucci just tweeted that his event tomorrow is cancelled.
