#TheDailyThree - January 30, 2018

Welcome back to #TheDailyThree, a weekday recap featuring 3 top stories in digital + a few thoughts.

Today includes some utterly fantastic news from Instagram, Facebook being cautious, and a Purge is nigh on Twitter. Let’s do this.

1. Instagram made a huge change that marketers have been waiting for since launch. They’ll now allow you to schedule content, both on the app + through 3rd parties. Brands would be wise to not abuse this, as I’m sure the algorithm will make them pay for it.

2. Facebook has put a (temporary?) ban on ads for Bitcoin, ICOs + other cryptocurrencies to deter the public from receiving content from deceptive marketers. As cryptocurrency is experiencing a volatile moment, FB is smart to set some clear rules + regulations.

3. Twitter influencers sense a purge is coming. Fresh off the news of that fiery @nytimes piece this weekend, it appears that Twitter is taking action to rid the network of fake followers. As this is much needed, I share this sentiment.
