Summary | Advertisers are increasingly pouring their budgets into social media instead of trasitional media. Instagram has developed into an important platform for creating trends through 'influencers' - Instagram personalities with large followings. They are paid money and given products for free to promote the brand and most often this content is not explicitly labeled as advertising.

Summary | A 15-year old girl named Rayouf Alhumedhi submitted a draft of a hijab emoji to Unicode Consortium. She got the idea when she wanted to name a group chat of her friends with emojis representing each one of them. Then she noticed that none of the emojis actually represent her. After some research online she got in touch with Unicode Consortium and was helped by one of the employees there to make a formal emoji submission.

Summary | A WhatsApp chain message is going around offering people free holiday emojis. A link directs them to a dodgy website where they type in their phone number and service provider. Instead of getting free emojis however one is signed up for an expensive subscription with hardly any possibility to quit. People should be careful with content they receive and spread through WhatsApp.

Summary | Sometimes, emojis are not enough so now a "kissenger" has been invented. It is a device one can kiss, that saves and sends the specific movements and vibrations to a receiver. So far there are only a few prototypes but the masses of people in long-distance relationships should keep the demand high.
