Hey Demi,

You’re right that it’s so rare to see a situation like this handled so well, and for the interest to collectively agree that it was handled well. (from the Try Guys team, anyway)

You could really see the stark contrast in values from the three remaining Try Guys and how Ned completely went against everything they stand for as p…[Read more]

Hey Andrew,

I had always wondered what the process for getting apps into the App Store was like. Because how do I know that whatever I’m downloading is safe? It makes me feel better that there is an intensive process to get approved.

I also didn’t know that Apple takes a percentage of in-app purchases, but that makes total sense to me. Sin…[Read more]

Hey Kirsten,

When I heard about the Balenciaga scandal, I couldn’t believe how something like that could happen when there are so many rounds of approval (or how it could even happen at all) for a launch like this – at least there should be.

Things spread so fast on the internet, especially when it involves a big-name designer brand that i…[Read more]

Hey Sam,


Ugh, I have heard of this challenge and it has been so terrible how many tragedies it has caused. I remember in middle or high school doing the cinnamon challenge that also spread through social media with was also dangerous!

Platforms should have Analysts that track challenges like his and put algorithms in place that suppress t…[Read more]

Hey Hannah,

I thought you had a great analysis of how both Dunkin and Starbucks incorporate their brand values into their mobile app experience and the promotions they run. I don’t get drinks out too much and I don’t have any apps like these, but your post almost convinced me to download them! In fact, my dad texted me this morning that the…[Read more]

Hey Demi,

I used to exclusively use Waze, but I stopped using it because there were a couple of times when I would input the destination and it would take me to the completely wrong place.

I liked using it because it used to be the only map that used crowdsourcing to help other users know where there were speed traps, potholes, crashes,…[Read more]

Hi Morgan,

This is super interesting — I’m going to be traveling abroad next month and if I hadn’t read your post, I don’t think I would have been prepared for having my picture taken at the air port! Although privacy is definitely a concern, I wonder if this way is more secure. Instead of relying on a human to identify us by comparing our fac…[Read more]

Hi Olivia,

It’s an interesting insight about most consumers not even knowing what the metaverse really entails, despite being very aware of it. It seems like is still a really abstract concept for most people.

I was definitely among them at one point and it wasn’t until I actually tried on an Oculus headset that I could really grasp all t…[Read more]

Hi Alexis,

Thanks for sharing this article. I haven’t heard of Trivia Quest or Triviaverse. I haven’t even really been aware of any interactive programs on Netflix besides the Black Mirror one (I think) from a few years ago. I think its cool that Netflix is branching out into gaming, which makes sense as a next product line. But it sounds like…[Read more]

There are certainly positives and negatives to social media. As someone who has made social media a part-time job, I’ve experienced a lot of them. Some of these negatives that come to mind (some of which are mentioned in the articles are the adverse effect on mental health (getting hate, triggers, comparison, assumptions, burnout), the spread of m…[Read more]
