Doug Haslam joins host Shel Holtz for a conversation about TikTok and the role it could wind up playing in the social media space. Also in this week’s episode:

  • Has Facebook really lost 15 million users? A lot of people don’t think it’s true.
  • Facebook’s pivot to secure messaging is about more than just messaging. Mark Zuckerberg wants Facebook to be WeChat for everywhere except China
  • Telegram picked up 3 million new users in 24 hours after Facebook’s outage began
  • Teenagers are using an old tool for private chat: Google Docs
  • Conde Nast has turned a vibrant Facebook Group into a new profit-focused vertical
  • Brands on Instagram are cool just because they’re on Instagram
  • YouTube’s AI wasn’t up to the task of removing video of the New Zealand terrorist’s live stream
  • The investment in podcasting may not be a good thing for podcasters or their listeners
  • Firework is a new video-sharing app with a twist (literally, since  you can twist your phone around to change the video view)
  • Digg has updated its chart showing what happens on the Internet every 60 seconds
  • Nutella is testing giving away free samples via Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Assistant platforms
  • Tune is a new Chrome extension that lets you dial down the toxic comments you see
  • Twitter’s revamped camera is its answer to Stories
  • Dan York reports on the horros of the live-streamed New Zealand terrorist attack and the challenges with moderating live sstreams, Twitter’s upgraded camera, India and video, a bunch of WordPress news, and the web’s 30th anniversary

Special thanks to Jay Moonah for the opening and closing music.
