Welcome to the fifth episode of Why I Social Sessions - where we bring you short discussions focused on one singular topic. This is not your standard Why I Social episode where we learn about a guest - but instead - we focus on important topics impacting the social media space today.

Today, on Why I Social Sessions, Why I Social alum Lucy Rendler-Kaplan returns to discuss what the possibility of an edit button means for Twitter. Is it a good thing? A bad thing? We discuss - on episode 5 of Why I Social Sessions. 

On Episode 5 

1. What are the pros of an edit button?

2. What are the cons of an edit button? 

3. Do we think it an edit button will actually happen? 

4. What other changes would we like to see to Twitter in 2017? 

Following the conversation:

I'd encourage you to use the hashtag #WISSessions to share your thoughts on Twitter and Facebook. 

This Week's Question(s): 

  • Pro or con? Where do you stand on Twitter adding an edit button?
