Listen "Sam Ryder Eurovision runner up, Elon Musk shows Twitter users how to take back the power."
Episode Synopsis
His deal to buy the company hasn't gone through yet but Elon Musk is already working to give users a better experience of Twitter. Over the weekend the billionaire Tesla founder Tweeted what he called very important information to fix your Twitter feed. Following his instructions changed what you see from a tailored, personalised feed based on what Twitter's algorithm thinks you want, to something very different - consisting of a chronological feed from the people you follow. To try it, tap the home button, then the stars on the upper right of the screen and then choose 'latest Tweets'. Musk said users who didn't do that were being manipulated. You can switch back and forth between the 2 types of feed whenever you like. UK Eurovision star Sam Ryder was trending after his excellent performance, finishing as runner up to Ukraine. Sam came to fame via TikTok and I wonder if we might see future UK entries coming from TikTok or maybe even Sam competing again next year. You can find Sam @samhairwolfryder on TikTok and if you want more Eurovision there is an official Eurovision app. More tomorrow!
