Wondering which platform fits your business best?

We’ve been there - and did some research. #Webflow, #Squarespace, #Wix, #WordPress - the usual suspects.

But lately, we’ve been eyeing #Framer, @astro, and a few other promising stars.

Oh, and we’ve expanded the criteria, too.
Here's Part 1 of our deep dive - practical, clear.

Part 2 is on the way (spoiler: it’s getting nerdier).

TikTok users spend an average of 95 minutes per day on the app, compared to Instagram's 62 minutes. And TikTok's engagement rate is 5.53%, surpassing Instagram Reels' 4.36%.

Instagram tried to counter with Reels, but TikTok's algorithm and user engagement have kept it ahead.

Taier fish chain gone from Dianping just after a big Douyin promo. Smells like platform rivalry as Douyin challenges Meituans turf in local services. What gives? #Taier #Dianping #PlatformWars

Bluesky Social
I’m feeling lost! There are a few new social platforms in #Fediverse I like: #Mastodon (not that new, I know), #Bluesky & #Threads. It’s tough to choose, and I can’t spend time on all of them. Plus, I’m done with Twitter. A decision has to be made. What would you do? How did you choose? #SocialMedia #DigitalDilemma #TechLife #PlatformWars #NewPlatforms #SocialNetworking #OnlineCommunity #TechTrends #TwitterExodus

In a notable shift, Meta's Threads has surpassed Elon Musk's X in daily active US users, signaling a potential change in social platform dominance.

Since becoming December's top downloaded app, Threads continues to outperform X in user engagement.

Just some folks duking it out over the technical and aural merits of the Gravis Ultrasound vs. Creative Labs AWE32 wavetable soundcard platforms back in 1994.

Shots were fired. (...and the audio recorded in 8-bits, but interpolated up to 16-bits on playback, so ... it sounded pretty realistic.)

Can anyone tell me why unicode strikethrough looks so shitty on iOS/macOS, but fine on android/win? Specifically, as opposed to “Apple sux”?

Remember Vox, Storytlr, and Posterous? What about GeoCities and LiveJournal? The internet has always been ephemeral; owning your own domain and making it your hub has always been a best practice.

I wrote this back in 2010 during a similar period of platform upheaval, and despite experimenting with multiple platforms since then, my own site has been my home base since I started self-hosting WordPress sometime in 2008.

Wonder if the search for Twitter alternatives, or the Bluesky vs. Mastodon/ActivityPub debate will join the classic "format/platform wars" like Mac vs. Windows vs. Linux, or HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray, or the "streaming wars"...
