I am not big into reading, but I could not stop. Her writing was an art form. It was executed so perfectly. It sounds just like a person talking. What I think is even funnier is that although she said in many different ways it was not good, so many people will now go out and purchase it, even though they have a heads up not to get it. I guess the…[Read more]

Great post Sammi! Likes unfortunately play such a big role in society. If I post a picture and it doesn’t get as many likes as my other posts, I delete it. That ideology isn’t even rational. We should be posting pictures and content because it makes us happy not because others will “like” it. I do think the amount of likes plays a huge role for…[Read more]

Great Post Dan! I did not know about this feature. Being reminded to think before you speak, especially how Twitter laid it out, will deter some users from posting something negative. As it will definitely not stop all the bad apples, it’s a step in the right direction. I also like Twittters user flow. A user clicks on the conversation and it’s…[Read more]

Great current event. I normally use social media before bed, so I did not know there was an outage until reading about it. As this outage affected many user who enjoy social media, let’s not forget affect on content creators. Some creators get paid per post or video, others have strict collabs with brands. This outage directly affected their…[Read more]

Wow – I had no idea this existed. I thought this was some type of detective gear at first read. The article you attached explains it as a “glorified GoPro”. Reading that gave me a new perspective on the glasses. I agree with everything Aisha said above, in regards to how the features are underwhelming. In retrospect, for a consumer who is a…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing this Kathryn! QR codes are definitely convenient, but they take away from the customer experience. I like going to a restaurant sitting down and being handed a menu full of personality, pictures and descriptions. It’s more personal. Now I sit down and the waitress just points to the center of the table and we’re supposed to know…[Read more]

Great post Philip! When it comes to crypto wallets and currency I don’t believe the world will conform to using that. Mostly because many don’t understand the concept. When people don’t understand something they automatically become weary or afraid of it. In terms of digital wallets like Apple Pay, I think you made a great point on how it makes…[Read more]

Wow, thanks for sharing this Kathy! I always questioned why there were such high fees, but at the end of the day still had to pay them. It’s like agreeing to terms and conditions. You question what you’re agreeing to, but sign anyway because you want to use the application. This is the important backend work that more people need to know about.…[Read more]

I was 3 during 9/11. As I don’t remember first hand that time frame of my life, I do remember the stories my parents have told me, the lessons we learned in school, the documentaries on the television. It’s enough that even if you weren’t there, you can still feel the pain our nation went through. Even though 9/11 was the day the attack happened,…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing this article! I feel like seeing #grandinfluencers on TikTok and other platforms automatically have the “stop the scroll” factor. It’s out of the ordinary to see the older demographic on social media (most do not want to conform to the digital era) much less killing it with content. Authenticity also plays a big factor. Would…[Read more]

Wendys did a great job a understanding the market shift. People love fast food, but to have something made quickly, is healthier and taste good is a win across the board. I feel like this really gave them an advantage over their competitors.

This is the first time I’m seeing these John Lewis Christmas commercials. Thank you for sharing this. This commercial said so much without saying anything at all. The music, people and visuals just brought me on a journey and by the end I feel like I wanted to hug the entire world. I agree with you on the content archetypes of presence and…[Read more]

Great post Sean! It’s funny you say this because I has a similar experience. I try hard to keep my work and hobbies on separate devices. A few days ago I was off from work and relaxing on TikTok. I came across an advertisement that would be great for work (something relating to auto insurance). I took a screenshot to make a note of it for the next…[Read more]

This is so true Kathy! It is so difficult to plan attractions solely due to who has the best SEO. This is definitely a user pain point if they are going to a new place. Most travelers have no knowledge to go off and have to trust the internet. The real gems are when users scroll past the touristy ads/links but only few know to do that. It would be…[Read more]
