The Social Media, PR and Tech worlds are constantly changing meaning everyday there is something new to report. With loads of information released daily, I'm here to try to make it easy for you.
Here's the skinny: For 2017, more people want to quit Social Media than smoking. To those people I say, 'New Year, Same Media.' Snapchat is being sued for misleading their investors while on their way to major IPO. What terrible timing. ANOTHER Snapchat clone is claiming 40-50 million monthly users. If this is true, it is yet ANOTHER devastating blow for Facebook after trying to buy up their competition. Speaking of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg plans to tour and meet people in every state in 2017. What a dreamy New Year's Resolution! Meanwhile, Twitter loses yet another head. This time in China... What's going on Twitter? Wendy's won Twitter this week showing everyone how to deal with a troll. In the same week, McDonald's took a vow of silence. CES happened this week which means tons of new, weird tech. Here are the top 4-trends that are important for communicators to watch for. Lastly, Samsung reportedly will be releasing their Note7 report 'very soon.' Their answers are highly anticipated by all.
