TikTok Explainers: This week some of the big media publishers have been sharing the popularity of TikTok, with explainer articles on NBC News “Teens are using humor on TikTok to meme the news” and New York Times “48 Hours in the Strange and Beautiful World of TikTok.” If you haven’t yet downloaded and played with TikTok, now is the time!
LinkedIn Events: This week LinkedIn launched LinkedIn Events, where “you’ll be able to seamlessly create and join professional events, invite your connections, manage your event, have conversations with other attendees, and stay in touch online after the event ends.” Similar to Facebook Events but with a professional angle, this feature seems ripe for heavy adoption.

The Shoe is the New Dress: This week a years-old meme of a tennis shoe that some people see as pink and white and others see as grey and teal went viral again. It’s 2017 all over again! What do you see?
