What the Labels Mean
25 Oct 2026: Corrected
Web addresses now match what every topic covers. The Other Platforms section moved from seven general addresses to eight keyword addresses, like Can You Change Your Gmail Name? and Bluesky Statistics by Date. The old addresses forward to the new ones. In the social media glossary, the tools group split in two, so social media apps and platforms and social media tools now have their own groups. The metrics, marketing and platform features groups moved to addresses that match their titles.
