12 "Cherry Girl" French Tip Mani Ideas To Try This Summer

Young tech entrepreneur Tiffany Zhong believes we have a loneliness epidemic on social media.

“What I see right now is all social media is just media — it’s not social anymore,” Zhong, 27, tells Bustle. Everyone is ogling at each other’s lives and personalities, but no one is engaging with them.”

That’s why she spent the last 10 years studying social media habits to create a new app called Nospace, which is slated for its official release at the end of April. Zhong promises to deliver Gen Z a social media experience akin to the one millennials once had, via Myspace and early Facebook: personalized profile pages and a stream of casual updates, like what you had for breakfast or what new band you’re obsessed with. “That’s the problem we’re solving: connection with others and self-expression,” she said. Over 380,000 people are on the waitlist.
