🦄 Death to unicorns. Please.
Work collaboration software company Slack is now worth $7.1bn. That’s following a $427m funding round. Just – please – don’t call it a ‘seven-times unicorn.’ In fact, let’s stop using 'unicorn’ at all – there are now too many $1bn+ companies for 'unicorn’…

👀 Media Usage by Demographic
It’s no secret that media usage varies by demographic—not only by total time spent, but also in the distribution of time spent across media platforms. Older demos tend to lean more on traditional mediums, while younger generations are often early adopters of nascent technology.

🤳 The Story of Stories
According to a VidMob survey conducted among a thousand 16-24-year-olds in the US, #Snapchat (73%) edges #Instagram (70%) for consumption of Stories. However, the gap in #GenZ's content creation for Stories is a lot bigger on these platforms where Snapchat (58%) is way ahead of Instagram (39%).
For #Millennials, however, the story is a bit different. According to the accompanying survey of a thousand 25-34-year-olds, they seem to prefer Instagram (58%) instead of Snapchat (53%) for story consumption. But just like their younger counterparts, Snapchat (34%) is their platform of choice when it comes to creating stories compared to Instagram (31%) or #Facebook (20%).

📱 Smartphone Usage: Adults vs. Teens
Many of us are concerned about the amount of time we spend online, but surprisingly, it's not just adults that are increasingly self-aware of the dangers of excessive screen time. More than half (54%) of teens in the survey expressed a similar concern compared to about a third (36%) of adults surveyed.

📺 Facebook Watch
A year after launching #FacebookWatch in the United States 🇺🇸, #Facebook announced that it’s making the video-on-demand platform available everywhere.
Although the global rollout is a logical next step, a recent study suggests that the service hasn’t really made an impact in the U.S. yet.
According to a survey conducted by The Diffusion Group, nearly 3 in 4 adult Facebook users in 🇺🇸 haven’t used the service yet. More importantly though, 50% of the respondents have never even heard of Facebook Watch despite its presence on the social network’s navigation bar.
