🗞 What We’re Reading
🆕 This Week in Social
Instagram rolls out Suggested Posts at the end of your feed to all users
You thought you were done scrolling, right? Not anymore! Instagram has rolled out a new feature that expands its feed by adding “Suggested Posts.” These posts are collected from social accounts that you don’t follow, thus allowing you to continue to intake related content once you’ve finished scrolling through all the content of the people you do follow. As explained by Instagram:
Just what would an enterprise company like Microsoft or Oracle do with TikTok?
There’s a new TikTok buyer in town: Oracle. In addition to Microsoft, Oracle has also supposedly been in talks with ByteDance about acquiring TikTok’s US operations. Buy why? According to TechCrunch, buying the TikTok service, would attract a large user base to their systems to boost cloud infrastructure usage and market share.
Holger Mueller, an analyst at Constellation Research, says: “If Microsoft gets TikTok it could boost their usage by between 2% and 5%, while for Oracle it could be as much 10%.”
