Learning From One Another In Twitter Is Important
I am learning the ropes at Twitter (yeah I know, it's been around forever - I am a late bloomer, lol!). People from WA have been extremely kind to me in Twitter (within WA, Facebook and Pinterest too) - I shared a post about that not so long ago. Now it's my time to give back to you all ... learning from one another in Twitter is important, allow me to share why ...
Apparently The Age Of Your Content Does Matter
UPDATE: Or Perhaps This Is Gauged By The Date The Post Was First Shared If You Are RePosting?
Reklam Store (@rekalamstore) shared these words today:
"Facebook is fighting against outdated content. The social media giant will alert its users if they face a content which is more than 90 days old."
I have responded asking "This means we cannot re-share content more than 90 days old, even if it is still relevant?"
Currently I await a response which I will share with you all as soon as I receive one.
Why Does This Matter To You Or Me?
I share posts on Facebook which are linked to articles on my website - not all of these articles were written in the last 90 days.
This means that Facebook are going to alert my readers to "old content" even if it is still relevant.
That is my understanding, anyway.
The same will happen to all of us. It may even become a normal standard within the social media platforms.
If it is true, we will not be able to re purpose our hard work (content) without also updating it - surely that will dent our long term goals of "passive income".
Your Contribution Is Welcome
Here are the questions that come to mind for me, you are welcome to offer any additional questions and answers in the comments below (pretty please)
- Is this 90 day rule true?
- Has anyone else heard about it?
- What is the best way of legitimately getting around it?
- If I want to share content that is more than 90 days old (I have landing pages that are older than 90 days, and pillar content for example), how will I go about doing so?
- If I update posts on my website, so that they fall into the last 90 days time frame for social media shares, will the SERPS (Google, Bing, Yahoo etc) count that against me?
- Do you also believe that learning from one another in Twitter is important?
- This question is added as an update after a comment from Linda. Perhaps they are referring to a post within Facebook that is a repost, rather than the date of publishing the content. Is that more probable?
I look forward to your input.
Blessings as always

If true, it makes you wonder if they are concerned about server space.
I've not heard anything about this but then I'm not always the first to know.
Ebay have a 90 day limit in play for items that you have sold, howver, they will exist in the buyers account as 'purchase history' goes back a few years.
Hi Twack, yeah, server space may be the challenge. I've noticed on Fb lives for the last couple of weeks that Fb has been super glitchy (this is coaching calls I have attended as well as online church).
I cannot even begine to imagine the amount of storage they need to keep all of the data they have on the system at any one time, the mind boggles.
Didn't know about the 90 day rule, not seen that before. I share artwork automatically to an FB business page, all of it has been on the website for several years.
Can't really see how they will police that.
I agree help, as in hints and tips are always useful. I have had my original account for years but still look out for useful bits of information on it.

I'm not sure if it's true or not. What you can do is repost in another format the same links often enough. They simply want people to stay current and not leave their page get dusty, like mine right now. I've had no time to get anything done on Social Media.
I haven't had any warnings, though. The trick is to make your posts in advance and schedule them. FB likes this a lot. When you do, you can make the almost-same posts over and over again with the links you like.
