The shift from desktop to mobile doesn't just mean that the devices we spend our time with has changed but the way we read and consume content has undergone a huge shift - we're now in a feed based culture. For more no nonsense social media check out: eatsleepsocial.com

8. Less destractions or noise around them...

9. Content is front and centre
CAUTION
It’s easy to keep scrolling past the mundane.
You need to stop fingers in their tracks.
Fit in, not every feed is the same.
Different fingers want different things.

10. Feeds are hungry for
the right content,
with the right
context

11. Context and tips to enhance
feeds and make happier fingers

12. Twitter images...
A recent introduction on the platform, inline images.
Both the website and app now display an image in feed.
It’s not the standard square format like in other feeds, but
a landscape image.
If your image is larger than the preview, you click to view
the image.
Make your tweet and message stand out, take away the
click and work to 1023 x 535 to create a beautiful feed.

13. Instagram video...
If you’re shooting the video in the app, pick the most
appealing still frame which will make users stop scrolling
and wait for the video to load.
Use the Instagram video feature to tease content outside
of the app, a 15 second snippet with endframe, clear call
to action and URL in the description.
Be aware of sound, even a beautiful video with harsh
sharpe sounds will be cut short when your mobile starts
screaming.

14. Vine...
You’ve got to be good to stand out on there, it’s easy to get it wrong.
The stop motion bar has been set high but it’s a trusted and fun
method.
Perfect loops are always appreciated
Comedic cuts do well, and the comedy channel is a goodplace to
get some inspiration.
Add your Vines to a relevant channel to get in those new feeds
Check out: Argos_Online, Brandon Calvillo, Ian Padgham for some
inspiration.
Brands On Vine also feature the best in branded content.

15. Facebook page post links...
There are 33 million monthly active users in the UK and 26
million of those are accessing via the mobile feed*.
It’s a mixed feed of friends and pages.
A feed not based on the time content is posted but an
algorythm of popularity.
Good content is rewarded with more exposure, so make your
content as appealing and attractive as possible.
Calls to action, clarity, short sharp messages and clear
imagery.
Use page post links with images increase click through
