The feed lately over here- Grapevine

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I used to go to Twitter to learn more about tech, current affairs and follow some of the smartest people. 

Now I hate Twitter.

Twitter feed is full of such thirst trap

Product Marketing Manager

I generally keep it at recent so all new posts are on my feed
But now it is mandatorily shifting to Popular

I don't want to see old posts, show me new 😭

1. Feed Algorithm
Going forward the Grapevine feed will only show posts from the communities you are actively subscribed to. Please subscribe and unsubscribe to the correct communities as per your interest

2. Discover More
We have fine tuned the Discover More algorithm to make it a way for you to go deep into any topic on Grapevine. So if you start reading posts w.r.t "Software Engineer Amazon Salaries" - you will get more posts on the same or similar topic 

3. Oh and yes btw, we also added markdown support so you can now write list type posts such as this one. You can do this by starting your sentences with a number or add dashes (-) before every sentence

Amazing UX, thoughtfully crafted UI...much better than Twitter. 

Overall from a product standpoint, I like the ecosystem angle that Meta is creating for the social media space (like how Apple built its ecosystem).

If the content is unlike Instagram now, I think it's a great strategic move by Zuck, especially when there's so much restructuring going on at Twitter.

What are your initial thoughts?

Took a solid month to decide on this because I did not want to give up my official mail ID. Thankfully, my colleague invited me using their passcode.

And damn, this is too fucking good. The best of constructive discussion vs internal gossip. 😂

When the value became apparent to me, I was like damn, I gotta get in permanently, so obviously decided to go ahead with my email verification.

I got no clue if other companies have got this but it seems like a clear no brainer that if you’re not already in it then you’re missing out on some really juicy conversations, especially around layoffs. 

Anyone else who joined their company’s private feed? And how is it?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD 

To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! 

Cheers!

Product Update: Grapevine Feeds Bifurcation

Investor

Updates on DMs and a few newer additions:

1. DMs are live... I just had a few conversations with a few of you. 
We do apologize for the initial buggy experience, but we’ve since worked on fixing it. We’re rolling out a fix patch, and in the meantime logging out and in out of Grapevine will get your DMs working. Sorry for the initial hiccups folks!

2. ⁠ Search is improved. You can now write a query in Natural Language and it just works. My favourite is, “Best Startups to work at”

3. ⁠Feed is tailored to you. We use posts you’ve interacted with in the past to deliver the next best post on Grapevine. The most relevant posts are re-ordered to the top.

As always do share your feedback and we will keep trying to make things even better.

Welcome to LinkedIn Cringe's Private Community

After the bottom navigation button, they are doing this feed carousel too🤦

Corporate Strategist

10 engineering blogs to take you to the next level

25 tech blogs you must read

40 big tech system design blogs for interviews

75 software engineering blogs to read everyday

1000 tech blogs that will make you a staff engineer

... and many more.

LinkedIn was used to share useful engineering information but now it just feels like a URL aggregator

Am I the only one bothered by this trend?

Hey Folks, 

A few updates to Grapevine, so please do update your app from play/app store :) 

1. A new slightly redesigned feed. We’ve adjusted font-weights and spacing to make things easier on your eyes. More refinements coming soon 

2. Post and Comment Insights: You now get insights on posts and comments where you receive more than 7 likes. This will be a feature which all writers on the app will def appreciate :) 

3. A better feed: We are constantly making adjustments to give you a better feed. Efforts such as ‘trending posts for you’ and the upcoming ‘posts you may like’ are efforts in this direction. This is something we want to get better at 

4. Results on Polls: You can now see poll results even before you answer them! We can finally lose the popcorn option. Long time pending, I know…

5. Update on Private Feeds: We now have around 2500 verified users using their company’s private feed. IMO this is one of the deepest and most useful products within Grapevine. Or so I hear :) 

We will launch 25 more companies where we have ‘critical mass’ over the coming 4 weeks! 


Upcoming - we are very close to: 
1. The rollout of DMs on Grapevine (after maybe 1000 users here scolded at us for not making it lol)
2. Rollout of the exciting new Salary Product (middle tab)
3. Grapes 2.0: Updating the Grapes formula to reflect your contribution to the community even more accurately

Your patience and feedback is a privilege we do not take lightly! Thanks Grapeviners, and Happy Friday

Grapevine Update: Insights, Feed, Polls, and more

Thank you for all the love and support over the last few weeks. :) 

Grapevine is just 5 weeks old and we are a very small team :)  But we are trying address feature requests as they come from you all. A few things from us: 

1. We recommend you update the app from the play/app store for the best experience 
2. As per popular demand - timestamps have now been introduced in the app  (available on latest version)
3. New (and hopefully better) algo for the popular feed has been rolled out 

Lastly, please feel free to drop in your feedback and feature requests in this post. We will try to implement everything we can.

Grapevine January 13th update

Just curious to understand others perspectives.

What will change in the next 10 years

Damn ig is so addictive.

Given I'm a male my search feed is literally 👁️🫦👁️. 

My reel feed is full of dark pedophile seixst homophobic adult content. Someone please tell me it's normal. 😭

Although I've tried to change my feed algorithm by engaging with random anime, cat, and other pet posts/reels, I still come across at least 1 or 2 posts where shawties dancing provocatively by shaking their t•tties/cakes when I scroll down.

I even came across a username brokencondomsurvivor wtf 🤣

Just curious if that's the case with others too!

My fingers muscle memory got so used to that reel scrolling, i literally unlock my phone and open some random apps for no reason. It literally took me weeks to control my finger movements  over my phone. 


( •_•)      Since I'm on mission ive
 ( ง )ง     uninstalled ig months ago.
 /︶\     Using gv for insights btw.

Few of my friends are doomed because of social media honestly they are jobless rn, their academics & soft skills are literally worst, tried to help them in preparing for interviews and technical stuff but not working out. The process even dragged me down at some point. So i decided to help them financially and these aimless idiots were wasting my money on girls, restaurants and cafes just for status and stories on social media. Got angry several times but dost h na jhel rha hun in a hope of thik h kabhi na kabhi toh  sudhar jayenge(being too optimistic? 🙃)

I'm a bit worried about them as it might arise some conflicts in social respect and status.

My parents scolded & grounded me for 1000 times becoz of them. Honestly i think no parent wants their kids to be around an inept and no good person.

In my childhood i hated it but as I grew older I understood why.

The very thought of my friends being rendered useless in their life is daunting me.

I really do want my friends to succeed more than me but as days pass by i feel like there's no scope for that.

I know it's a lengthy post but what should i do?
