Vine 2

Is Vine alive again? Vine 2.0 Teased for 2018!

First of all, everyone loved Vine. We were all sad when Vine shut down. Now Vine may be coming back! In the form of Vine 2! What this exactly is though is anyone’s guess. But we’re very excited about a potential resurrection of the 7 second beauty!

Vine 2 is the creation of Vine 1’s Co-Founder Dan Hofman. Vine 1 was purchased by Twitter, who shut it down at the beginning of 2017 (Seems so long ago now doesn’t it!) It spawned a lot of creators careers but alleged monetization problems caused many creators to flee to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Jake/Logan Paul being the most prominent of the group. King Bach moving to the big screen and staring in a number of TV shows and Movies.

Vine 2: The rumours

Whilst this isn’t a definite that Vine will be born as Vine 2, Hofman himself did tweet that he is working on a follow up to Vine and funding it himself as a solo project. His most recent tweets Hofman shares concept images of a Vine 2 logo known simply as V2 and making sure each artist gets an equal voice, being generous to each artist, creating a civilised community and a ‘nope button’ which allows you to form your own timeline.

Most of all, we don’t know much else about Vine 2 but we’re very excited by the prospect of it. Will it be as successful as Vine 1, have we all been Vined out? Maybe time will tell, 2018 is shaping up to be very interesting!

Also, will you be going back to Vine? Let us know and hit us up via our Twitter page!

Shazam

Apple buys Shazam

Apple have acquired the music discovery app Shazam! Shazam is the app that basically lets you identify songs, movies, TV shows and commercials from short audio clips. So you are then able to listen to them via your favourite music streaming service. Usually Apple Music/Spotify. So, this is not good news for Spotify.

Apple spokesperson told The Verge:

“Apple Music and Shazam are a natural fit, sharing a passion for music discovery and delivering great music experiences to our users. We have exciting plans in store, and we look forward to combining with Shazam upon approval of today’s agreement.”

Allegedly the purchase of the music discovery app is $400M! While only pulling in $54M in revenue!

How will this affect you?!

There are a number of ways the acquisition can benefit the tech giant. Music! As a result the most obvious way the music discovery app can help Apple is via Apple Music! (If they shut down the app and use integrate it into the iOS, one would assume via Siri. Therefore Spotify referrals will be non existent) As click throughs per day are said to be 1M. Consequently this is HUGELY beneficial!

Mail ordered models

Mail ordered models for Christmas parties?

Apparently large companies and small companies a like are contracting modeling agencies to add some spice to their office parties. Mail ordered models (female and male) if you will.

While the aim of this is to allegedly make the party not be so poor no one turns up.

Consequently, Cre8 Agency are reporting that they’re sending 25 women and 5 men to a San Fran gaming companies christmas party ($200 an hour! So they’re not cheap!)

The Mail ordered models are no joke! Companies that Cre8 work with are said to handpick models and ask them to sign NDA’s. Ask them to share names of employees to pretend their friends with them. So the lie isn’t easily guessed!

Popular Mail ordered models?

Cre8 are booking gigs in record numbers highlighting that Mail ordered models are hugely popular! With one of their agents said to be one of the largest search engines in the world. That’s totally not Google.

Pot belleyed Gary from accounting friends with a hot blonde from Venice Beach. Who are we to judge?

Netflix Shame

Netflix throws some shade this Christmas

Netflix, the streaming giant has released some stats to the world and some of it is a little humiliating to it’s users. So the best course of action is to throw shade their way. Hence telling the world that one person in the UK has made it a daily ritual to watch the Bee Movie. Racking up a total of 357 times during the year of 2017.

Though in France the most viewed movie was Shrek Forever After, whilst in Germany it was repeat viewings of Oceans Eleven. 

Also in America, one viewer clocked up an impressive 365 viewings of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

While, we’re interested to how these are being watched? As background sound? Have they been left on and walked away and forgotten about?!

Netflix: That’s not all!

If you keep a keen eye on Twitter, Netflix didn’t just stop there. Revealing that “To the 53 people who’ve watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days“.  Then questioning “Who hurt you?” this tweet went viral and lead to people questioning their own viewing habits. Netflix’s twitter account in full swing replied with witty responses, leading to impressive virality.

Most of all, what we want to know is! Is there a movie club for The Christmas Prince?! Why have so many people watched it for so long?!
