#Trending On Socials
We know it's hard to keep up with social trends which go out of fashion faster than you can say wheels and doors. These were the hottest topics on the internet this week:
On Twitter and Facebook, hot topics included Rishi Sunak's Spring Statement and the Royals' Caribbean tour.
This Day in The Life in a Bunker video is trending on TikTok
LOTS of memes following Putin comparing himself to J.K. Rowling

We may have gone overboard with these...but these are the social, SEO and audience roles we've got our eyes on 👀

WIRED need an Audience Development Manager
If you like gaming, there's a a Social Media Editor role at Future plc, who own PC Gamer and GamesRadar
LADBible need a Social Editor, and so do MailOnline and The Star/The Mirror.
The Evening Standard want a Social Media Editor specifically for features.
The Indie are looking for a SEO and Social Editor for video.

If you've got the experience, this Head of Audience Development role for Time Out sounds great.

✨ TweetDeck may join Twitter Blue...What next?
When social sleuth Jane Manchun Wong announced on Twitter that TweetDeck might become a paid feature of Twitter's subscription service Twitter Blue with this tweet ...
... We got thinking about what we'd do if TweetDeck DID get put behind a paywall. Here's a few options we're looking into now so that we don't get caught out if and when we lose TweetDeck.
Get Twitter Blue - Let's not discount the obvious here. In the US it costs $2.99 per month and while we're still waiting for the release in the UK, it's expected to cost £2.50 per month, which is less than half the cheapest Netflix subscription.
Use Hootesuite or Buffer - For scheduling tweets, there are plenty of other alternatives for social media editors - Hootesuite are just a couple of our favourites - and some find them easier to use than TweetDeck
Twitter's advanced search feature - Skip out the middle man, and head to Twitter to search for the content you need. If you need a reminder of all the shorthands, we've got you covered.
Use Lists - If you're looking to tweets from a certain group of people, Twitter's Lists feature can help you there.
As you can probably tell, there's not an easy replacement here, but if you're on a budget, a combination of the above tools should help you stay on top of your Twitter feed.
