The initialism\u2019s rise has been directly related to our move from static sources of news to fast-moving, online sources.<\/p>\n<p>The internet has made the cycle of news much faster. Instead of relying on TV or newspapers, we can get breaking news in an instant, just as things are occurring. This rapid cycle is what created the culture surrounding the initialism ICYM. People were used to getting the news half a day after it came out, but with the internet, missing news stories became much more common.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Faster_World\"><\/span>A Faster World<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_693566\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-693566 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/xtwitter-and-newspapers.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.pEg_PxqD5u.jpg\" alt=\"The Twitter logo over some vintage newspapers.\" width=\"650\" height=\"441\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/kiev-ukraine-january-15-2018-twitter-1007146648\" data-credittext=\"rvlsoft\/Shutterstock\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/kiev-ukraine-january-15-2018-twitter-1007146648\">rvlsoft\/Shutterstock<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>ICYMI became prominent on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>. Several years after its launch, Twitter became a significant news source for millions of people. Given the platform\u2019s original limit of 140 characters, though, people often used initialisms. ICYMI was one of these, and people used it to share breaking news with their followers. This cycle and the use of ICYMI have only grown since.<\/p>\n<p>The initialism has even been taken up by actual news outlets. Because they run hundreds or thousands of stories each week, they often also create bite-sized pieces outlining stories people might have missed. The BBC actually has a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> called \u201cICYMI,\u201d for which it compiles several recent news items.<\/p>\n<p>ICYMI is also used to gain attention for stories that aren\u2019t part of the larger news cycle. These often include human-interest pieces, or news about scientific advancements or finance, which might not have made major headlines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Disable Twitter&#8217;s &#8220;News For You&#8221; Notifications<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filling_in_Gaps\"><\/span>Filling in Gaps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like many initialisms, ICYMI is not used in only one context. It\u2019s also often used to fill gaps in recent information for asking questions.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say someone asks a question on an online forum regarding where to buy\u00a0cheap video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s. Someone might respond with: \u201cICYMI, there\u2019s a big sale on the digital store right now that you should check out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can also use it when messaging with friends and family. In this context, it\u2019s typically used to catch people up on life events they might have missed on your social media. For example, you might text: \u201cICYMI, we got a new dog in the house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this situation, you could also use \u201cICYDK,\u201d which stands for \u201cin case you didn\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_ICYMI\"><\/span>How to Use ICYMI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we covered above, you can use ICYMI in various contexts, from personal messages with friends to creating and sharing content on the internet. However, it\u2019s almost always used to share relatively recent information. Otherwise, you might be better off using ICYDK.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few examples of ICYMI usage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cICYMI, the Supreme Court, in an 8-1 ruling, voted to uphold the current data privacy act.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cICYMI Johnny just graduated grade school!\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cICYMI, Main Street will be closed for the day.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cICYMI, gift cards have been available at a 10% discount for the last week.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a lot of other internet initialisms out there, including\u00a0IDGI and FWIW.
