Barclays - āMoments That Matter' (2025)
Barclays, official banking partner of The Championships, Wimbledon, has unveiled a new integrated campaign starring tennis icon and Barclays ambassador
On Twitter, you might see me as a little red TV adland, as that usually is me cracking snarky jokes at all hours of the evening, though I am not the only person here who has access to that account. (Please note - this is not an invite to keep DM:ing us press releases - use email for that.) But I do also have my own twitter account, Dabitch as well. It is in switching between these accounts that I noticed that adland is part of the Twitterati, while Dabitch is not. I feel conflicted about that.
Ok, so it's probably because adland is quite active, and has over 150,000 followers who interact with our tweets. We're not Kanye yet, but like him, we see no ads. Iām sure thereās a German word for the journalistic ambulance-chasing threads that appear at #myflight tweets now. https://t.co/PIabMr4590 Iām sure thereās a German word for the journalistic ambulance-chasing threads that appear at #myflight tweets now. https://t.co/PIabMr4590
A lot of tweaking is happening behind the scenes of Twitter, and as I predicted once the direct messages could be opened to anyone and they had more than 140 chars, Twitter would get a lot less chatty. People are now using twitter to announces news & links, or to simply read news and links, but not to "have a conversation" as they had before. Giant pile-ons still happen when a brand shows you a girl leaning on a another, or when they show a happy family, just ask the Gap & Old Navy. In fact these sorts of viral mob shamings happen more frequently now that they did before, as the regular "how's the weather" chat has largely become hidden in Twitter DMs.
Twitter has been tracking phone numbers and added IP tracking tools in their effort to curb Twitter harassment. Outside efforts like the Blocktogether tool created by EFF's lead technologist Jacob Hoffman-Andrews (@j4cob
Much effort has been put in to tweaking how Twitter shows you what's important, with the invention of moments and the trials of the non-chronological order. Threading is still a pain and people having 50-tweet chain conversations over someone's 2500 word article elsewhere vanish into the ether like the bubble in a glass of low calorie PepsiĀ®. It's the ease of typing on your phone app that keeps people coming back, even though Twitter is nowhere near what it used to be.
Now, if I could only get twitter to understand that when I say "no thanks" to the "While you were away" updates, I really mean 'please stop doing that'. Rejecting their non-chronological time-line at least once a day will seemingly never stick.
