The Internet of Things and Your Business

Image
The Internet of Things and your business are joined by a much-needed change in how things are done. The IoT is already shaping the future and has been for some time. And the model itself is set up in such a way that many other future solutions depend on correct IoT modeling. You probably already use IoT solutions and may not even know it. Here are some examples.

The Morning After: Meta could launch a Twitter competitor next month

Image
Meta has long been rumored to be building a platform to rival Twitter. After months of speculation, there are finally some details on how it might turn out, according to digital media marketing expert Lia Haberman, who has heard about the app through content creators approached by Meta. Haberman says the app could launch as early as the end of June, branded as Instagram’s text-based spin-off. The decentralized app is said to work with current Instagram parameters, like usernames and passwords. So if you already have an Instagram account, you should be able to sign right up and automatically sync with your current followers. Your handle, bio and verification should all carry over from IG. Haberman says even blocked Instagram accounts and hidden words transfer to the new platform. It appears to be very Twitter-like, with its own versions of likes, replies and reposts. – Mat Smith The Morning After isn’t just a newsletter – it’s also a daily podcast.
