It's using target="_new" and it should be target="_blank". It keeps opening stuff over and over in the same browser tab.

It recommends announcing site changes across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, then posting about individual features and thanking technology providers to encourage sharing. ### Source excerpt There are a lot of times in life when I don't know what to do and so I ask myself: WWMD? This is also known as What Would Mom Do? So, when confronted with the question of: How should social media marketing be handled for a new website focused on COVID-19? I thought "What would Mom do?" and I came up with the following: Mom would tell people when there is something new on the web site in the same way that Mom always told people when something new was going on with her kids. Mom would say Thank You when appropriate. Telling People About Something New The first aspect of telling people about something new is that when something changes, you let them know. Yesterday, for example, we redesigned the entire covidnearme.org site and added a bunch of new features so I would argue for making social media posts to different sites like this: Twitter - screen shot and a short message "Major changes - blah, blah" Facebook - much the same Instagram - a series of screenshots Youtube - a short video talking about the home page After doing that on Day 1 then I would follow that up with a set of posts about each individual feature such as: Risk wizard Symptom tracker Hospital Experience Saying Thank You The next thing that I would do is I would use good manners and say thank you to the different technology providers that we use to make the site. Here's an example tweet that I made a few weeks ago: I could not have built this as quickly without the awesome that is Jumpstart. Full tech stack and thank yous in More... If you see the Powered By page on CovidNearMe, you could take each of the text blocks and make a tweet or other social media post from that text and that image. The important thing here is to cc / @ mention / # hash tag someone associated with the product. For example if you were making a post thanking the HoneyBadger product, it would be good to include @honeybadgerapp with the tweet. The idea of referencing the creator of the product is that it gives them an incentive to re ## covidnearme.org: A local COVID-19 case-tracking website DevFeed: [covidnearme.org: A local COVID-19 case-tracking website]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Fuzzygroup Published: 2020-03-13T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Scott Johnson]() Topics: [Website](), [data](), [GitHub Issues](), [issue tracker]() Tags: [announce](), [covid](), [covid-19](), [covidnearme](), [covidnearme-org](), [data](), [github-issues](), [issue](), [tool](), [web]() ### AI overview The article announces covidnearme.org, a website intended to help users view local COVID-19 case information, bookmark locations, and see a leaderboard of cases. It also describes plans to track metrics such as deaths and recoveries and report bugs through GitHub Issues. ### Source excerpt I'd like to say that I'm happy to announce: https://www.covidnearme.org/ but I'm not. Like a lot of us, nay, most of us, I find the current COVID-19 / Corona virus bothersome if not scary. But the world is what it is and we are better off knowing more about COVID-19 rather than less so I made a tool. What is covidnearme.org? Covnearme.org is a web site which lets you: Easily drill down to where you live. Bookmark a location or location that you care about See a leaderboard of cases BUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE US ON 3/10? That is apparently the date when Johns Hopkins stopped reporting US level county data and only data at the state level. Yes that means that the US is officially LESS OPEN than China. Let's compare a screenshot between Seattle and Hubei: If you think this is the same bull crap that we do then please use this hashtag when you tweet: #hopkinswheresmylocaldata #Covid_19 Where's the Damn Map? We didn't put one in (yet). I've been using the Hopkins tracker for several weeks now and it gives me a great feel for the global scene but I don't just want global - I want local. And I'm too damn fat fingered to make their map work for me easily. Why Did You Build This? We wanted: The ability to know what's happening near the people we love. The ability to bookmark a location - our homes, our parent's homes, our friends workplaces The ability to know metrics which people aren't posting yet like the death metrics (why the hell is Italy so much higher?) and the recovery metrics (Seattle has a lot of cases but the recovery percentages are pretty good) How Do I Give You Bugs? We have setup a public github repo for this to capture bugs as github issues. Just file an issue and please, please, please give us the url to where you have issues.

You keep saying we. Who is we? The
