To give people more control and choice over their data, today we're announcing that Facebook posts and notes can be directly transferred to @googledocs, @Blogger and @WordPress via our Transfer Your Information tool:

These updates extend the reach of the tool that already enables people to transfer their photos and videos to @backblaze, @Dropbox, @googlephotos and Koofr: about.fb.com/news/2020/09/e…
To better reflect the range of data types people can now transfer to our partners’ services, we’re also renaming the tool to Transfer Your Information:
about.fb.com/news/2021/04/t…
You can access this tool in your Facebook settings under Your Facebook Information and clicking Transfer Your Information. Follow the prompts, which take you several steps to help securely transfer the data you choose to one of the available services: facebook.com/help/230304858…

While I was speaking at an event last week, someone asked me to give an example of a journalist who is using social media effectively.

Here is the long version of my answer: alexvoica.com/journalist-cre…

🧵👇
There are many amazing reporters (@ameliargh, @stokel, @TaylorLorenz, @RVT9 or @linzasaur, to name a few) who *use* social media to promote their reporting, interact directly with their audience, source material for their articles, and chat about their beat in general.
Then there's a generation media outlets who evolved on social and know how to *create for* a social-first audience.

@brutamerica is a great example of a new media brand built on the premise that people enjoy informative, short-form videos: alexvoica.com/journalist-cre…

A quick history of Rust (@rustlang) at Facebook, 🧵👇

Facebook initially adopted Rust in 2017 for a project to develop a new source control service. That project had stringent performance and correctness requirements so the team decided that Rust was a better fit than C++. [1/5]
Rust adoption has been expanding steadily since then, with hundreds of engineers using it for dozens of projects such as Diem, Hack, or Mononoke.

We've been using it to write developer tools, which make a good environment for experimenting with a new language. [2/5]
Having proved itself in dev tools, there’s increased interest in using Rust for backend service code, and some initial exploration for using it in mobile apps. [3/5]
