Summary | A start-up company from Berlin offers anonymous fashion counseling by an artificially intelligent chatbot. Their corporate partner is Zalando and the chatbot can be used on WhatsApp and Facebook messenger. It does not seem to work very well though. To the question "what goes well with blue pants?", it responds "blue pants". To the question "what's in fashion right now?", it responds with a sweating emoji.

Summary | Facebook has now expanded their "like" function to five emotions depicted by emojis: love, sadness, anger, laughing, and suprise. What new possibilities does this give us? Now we can know when we should not ask people for a favor and when they have PMS. Our therapists can monitor our emotional development at all times.

Summary | A bunch of new emojis have been included in the latest Apple update: the taco, a lion, and the eye-roll emoji which is the most popular of them all. In our age where online language is dominated by hyperbole, that is quite calm for a change. Simultaneously, Facebook enhances the like function with six emotions depicted by emojis.

Summary | The recent terrorist attacks at a christmas market in Berlin have prompted a flood of empathetic social media postings. It is questionable how empathetic people really are when they showcase their solidarity on social media, say psychologists. They may just be submitting to peer pressure and conforming to what appears to be the popular, appropriate reaction - namely posting on social media.
