Neil Tanna’s Post

Ever find yourself scrolling through news websites, feeling more lost than informed? I’ve been there—drowning in endless tabs, ads, and cluttered pages until I realized I wasn’t just avoiding the news; I was avoiding the chaos that came with it. It got to a point where I relied on Twitter for updates 😅 (guilty as charged!). That’s when it hit me: Why not create something better? Something simpler, cleaner, and designed with people like us in mind. And that’s how Qluey was born. Imagine a space where news feels like a conversation, not a chore. With Qluey, you get a streamlined, personalized feed that gives you exactly what you care about, without the noise. It's not just about staying informed—it’s about enjoying the experience, too. I’m excited to share this journey with you as I design Qluey from the ground up. I’ll be dropping updates along the way, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how this idea is taking shape. Follow along, and let’s build something that makes catching up on the world feel effortless and, dare I say, fun! Stay tuned—this is just the beginning.

Bluesky Social offers a decentralized, X-like experience with no single company in control. It's like early Twitter—quirky and welcoming—but getting started can be tough. Tips for a smoother transition are below (via Fast Company). Just sayin’… 😉 #Bluesky #SocialNetwork #Decentralized https://lnkd.in/drHhvHfP

Are you one of the 15 million users now on Bluesky? The app, a decentralized alternative to Elon Musk's X, has gained over a million new users since the election. It's notable in part because it’s built on an open framework called AT Protocol, which allows for a decentralized network that’s not owned by any one company. But it’s also the most openly X-like of all the text-driven social media feeds—more topical than Threads, and easier to jump into than Mastodon. The vibe right now also feels a bit like late-aughts X (back when it was still called Twitter)—weird and nerdy, but also fun and welcoming as more folks make their way aboard. But like any social network where you’re starting from scratch, it can be hard to get started and avoid the problem of a desolate feed at the outset. Our article has tips that can help.

Extensible approach to working with records Consider a user record that contains social media account information, currently allowing integration only with Twitter and LinkedIn. Can our system handle the addition of more social media account types in the future, or will we need to update and add each account individually? If our interface cannot accommodate this condition, it may not be considered extendable. A more effective approach would be to modify our interface to accommodate various social media accounts, eliminating concerns about the number of accounts a user can have. What is extensibility? Refers to the ability the system to incorporate new features or adapt to changes without requiring major modifications to the existing codebase. Extensible systems allow for the easy addition of functionality in response to future requirements. #futureproofing #interface #typescript #socialmedia

Best Tweet Deleter Tools 2025! BlogGrand's Best Pick will be TweetDelete, which allows you to delete previous tweets in bulk. Using the TweetDelete platform, you can select which tweets (X posts) you want to be removed and the dates they were posted. You can rest easy knowing that TweetDelete resets your X (previously Twitter) timeline to its original state.

Lately I am spending a fair amount of time in the social web (aka #fediverse), but sometimes I miss the algorithm for curated content (like twitter). I even wrote about last August (https://lnkd.in/gXiHqniD). So, I created a personal project to have a personal bot that curates and boost content for me, and a few people seems to also want something similar, so I just cleaned-up a little bit the code and updated the README for other's consumption. I will throw it here in case someone is interested, although my sense is that people in #LinkedIn **REALLY** like their current algo-fix.

💙 I had a verified blue check on Twitter 🐦 (before Elon’s X days). Now? Let’s just say things have changed! 💼 While the value of a blue check may be up for debate, each platform still offers some perks for being verified: • LinkedIn: Increased visibility and credibility in your professional network. • Instagram: Access to features like linking in posts, better reach, and impersonation protection. • X (Twitter): Exclusive features like editing tweets, priority rankings, and extended content creation tools. • Facebook: Additional insights and direct customer service for verified users. Do you think the blue check still holds any value? 💭 What's your thoughts! 👇 #SocialMedia #DigitalMarketing #Verification #BlueCheck #FridayFun #MarketingMeme #Meme

I’ve been doing a series of roasts on X (Twitter) In April, I found CreatorHQ a great product by @jayclouse. I found the product fantastic but not the landing page. I roasted it and tagged Jay. He received it very well, we had a chat and discussed the chance to work together on another product. One month later, we started working on The Lab - Jay’s community for professional creators. The community is full of top and professional creators - more than 200 members. The page structure was solid, but there was room for improvement. I first audited pointing out improvements for the copy, structure, and design all with the same goal: 🚀 Better experience for future creators interested in joining the community and preparing the page for high conversions. The transformation was incredible and very well received by Jay and his audience. Check it out: join.creatorscience.com ---------- Need a good-looking and high-converting sales page?

I'm dipping my toes in the Farcaster waters of #Web3, #decentralized #SocialMedia. I created an account for Menopausey on Twitter/X some months back and got excited to watch the follower account grow, even with very little activity. With each new accelerator application, I got to report a higher number. That is until I actually looked at who the followers were. 🫠 At which point I discovered a pattern...accounts with a first name_ and five digits or so...A link to questionable website...nothing more than junk Tweet likes...presumably some fake po*n bot accounts. And then I spent more time blocking than I did anything else until finally turning off public posts. I'll keep that account open as a placeholder, but I'm not spending any more time there. Silly me for getting distracted by such a meaningless and FOMO-driven metric for a bit. At the same time, it's easy to fall into that trap trying to demonstrate some sort of pre-product traction. I'm hopeful about what I'm seeing on Farcaster so far, though. I don't want to be the product anymore, which is one driving force behind my passion for Web3. (And yes, there is very much an irony in posting this here, I realize, but I'm making an intentional choice.) When there's a Web3 LI equivalent community and platform where people can own and port their content from app to app, I'm so there. Who else is on Farcaster? Share your profile in comments if you like. I'll be very curious to see if this post goes anywhere b/c it's Saturday and I could see the algorithms here suppressing mention of any other platforms. A fun experiment nonetheless! Thanks for making it to the bottom, as always.
