ββπ¨ Many believe Facebook is having a negative impact on society around the world
A recent survey McGinn conducted found #Facebook is not well regarded in many parts of the world.
Australia, Canada and the UK had the highest share of respondents β about 33% β who say that Facebook is having a βnegative impact on society,β according to McGinnβs new survey.
Americans were similarly disenchanted, with 32% of Americans β the equivalent of 54 million people β saying Facebook has a negative impact on society.
For context, that makes Facebook less of a societal ill than #Marlboro cigarettes but worse than #McDonalds fast food. Itβs also considered far worse than #Google, which just 7% of Americans considered to have a negative impact.
Countries where the percentage was lower, like Japan, tend to be places where people arenβt as likely to use Facebook.

ββπ± Fragmentation Remains an Issue in the Android Universe
On March 29, #Apple released #iOS 11.3, the latest version of its mobile operating system iOS. While this was only a minor refresh of iOS 11 (iOS 12 will follow later this year), it still was accompanied by the usual growing pains, i.e. users complaining about bugs and other problems.
While Apple would certainly prefer for its users not to have any complaints, the usual backlash after a new iOS version is released shows that its users are actually updating their devices, which is something that sets Appleβs mobile ecosystem apart from #Android.
Whoever purchases a new iPhone can count on his device getting new software for at least a couple of years. Android users on the other hand are often stuck with the version that comes pre-installed with their device, as many manufacturers donβt bother rolling out Android updates to their users.
As the following chart illustrates, 93% of iOS devices run some version of iOS 11 (originally released in September 2017) or iOS 10 (September 2016). Androidβs latest version Oreo on the other hand is installed on just 1% of all active devices, while 4 in 10 devices run on a system that is more than three years old. As a consequence iOS app developers find a rather unified playing field while Android developers have to work with a deeply fragmented system.

ββπΊ Smart TV Owners Want Multi-Device Viewing Options
Smart TV Owners watch a combination of both broadcast and online #TV. Further exploring their diverse TV engagement habits shows they frequently ventures beyond their smart TVs, watching their favorite TV shows and films across a broad range of devices, demonstrating that itβs the content, not the device, that governs preferences.

ββπ β π΄ Londonπ¬π§ Vehicle count down from 206k in 1999 to 124k in 2017
City traffic composition has changed significantly over the last two decades, both in terms of the total volume of traffic and the proportions of different vehicle types that make up that traffic. Figure 2.1 highlights the percentage change in total vehicle count (blue bars) and the absolute number of vehicles counted each year (orange line).
Traffic volumes of all vehicular modes (except cycling) have decreased over the last two
decades by at least one-third, with day-time car/taxi and motorcycle (MC) traffic declining 59 and 49 percent respectively since 1999 (Figure 2.2). Heavy goods vehicle (OGV)
volumes have declined by similar amounts while light goods vehicle (LGV) volumes have
seen their numbers remain relatively consistent since 2004 after dipping roughly a third from 1999 levels.

ββπ΅ Music Streaming Yet to Prove Premium Worth
For every #music streamer who pays, there are 3.6 who donβt, preferring a free trial or ad-supported service. Streaming may be more popular than ever, but thereβs a lag in converting these listeners to paying listeners. As well as freemium tiers, account sharing has a role in this.
Diving into the users for each service, paid-for services like #AppleMusic and #Tidal see the highest levels of sharing, allowing friends and family to access them without paying for an account.

ββπΊ Netflix's International Expansion Picks up Steam
#Netflix released its prediction-beating Q1 figures last week and this chart is looking at one interesting aspect of the announcement - the growing profitability of the international streaming side of the business.
Moving from 8.7% in Q4 2017, in Q1 2018 the margin leaped up to 15.3%. As the chart also shows, this appears to be due to revenues significantly outgrowing the cost of revenues (70% to 49%). Marketing is still a big part of Netflix's international expansion, but these costs also grew more slowly than revenue, at 60.8% compared to Q1 2017.
