Podcast ads get personal

Spotify has taken the leap into podcasts, and is trying to set themselves apart from other podcast networks.

Twitter lets you limit conversation

You can expect the chatter to die down on Twitter later this year. They have announced they are testing new reply options that let tweet creators limit who can respond to individual tweets. The options will include global (meaning anyone with Twitter), group (only those you follow and mention), panel (only those you mention) and statement (no one). The move is expected to help runaway Twitter replies that can get filled with bots and threats, but could also stifle genuine conversation and limit virality of a tweet.

The article originally appeared without a designation as sponsored content, then added it, then removed it, and then removed the article entirely. Facebook maintains that it was editorial content, and Teen Vogue keeps waffling on the decision. As paid and editorial content continues to converge, this may not be the last time we see something like this pop up.
