TikTok most definitely filled the void left by Vine. Vine was short video, usually chopped up, lots of one person skits. That type of content was not popping up on Instagram or Snapchat. Snapchat video would disappear, Instagram video felt more like a typical Instagram post but with video, or just throw away stories.
TikTok came in with short videos, collaboration tools, audio sharing, and has a realness that Instagram does not.
Also funny enough many Viners lived together in the same building so they could collaborate. We saw the same thing happen with TikTok.
Vine had almost as many active users as Twitter, yet there are users actually claiming no one used it. smh
The service failed because it was in high competition and they lost momentum. While Tiktok succeeded simply because it was fresh, appeared at a time when demand for personal and videos was growing, and offered the right combination of UX that satisfied its target audience.
vine was used by almost no one. tiktok didn’t fill a void, it created a new space. all the reasons tik tok is successful didn’t exist on vine. the only thing they share is video
I would also suggest networking. Find whatever meetups are going on and attend and just talk to people. If there is a conference that is relevant volunteer and that gets your foot in the door. Also don’t be afraid to ask friends for help they might be able to get you introduced to people that are looking to hire.
I block out time, set a timer and put everything away.
Then I read till the timer goes. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes I just stop and zone out. But I don't stop to check my phone or whatever else could distract me.
Someone created two apps. Amytal would scrape Steam IDs to confirm what leagues the players were in. Bazbar would have a bot in IRC for #findscrim and allow us to chat with people.
Both apps could be run by sending commands from ingame chat.
That’s great to hear. It’s a very good organization and one I’ve been thinking of volunteering with myself. Also congratulations on your business. That’s something I’m trying to figure out if I want to strive for.
If minimum wage gets raised by 2.5 and it creates job loss wouldn’t that have to potential to still not effect people because they would only need one job instead of 2.5?
It's a bullshit calculation. It's putting federal minimum wage against the latest rents in urban areas, while maintaining the "you should only spend 30% of your income on rent" mantra.
In reality, people in urban areas earn more than federal minimum wage, they spend more than 30% of their income on rent and they don't necessarily live alone in one-bedroom apartments, which is always disproportionately expensive. They're also not working 2.5 jobs, unless it's part time jobs.
