Social Networks

YouTube comments are frequently not very nice (or, to use another Guardian writer’s words, are “an infamously troll-ridden wild west of abuse, ignorance and spam”). Something about a cursor blinking in a blank comment box just brings out a certain side of human nature (the bad one). Except, for some reason, if it’s below an ASMR video, where it appears to invite a more or less pure stream of all that is tender in the human heart.These are videos made to provoke one’s autonomous sensory meridian response – AKA “a tingly feeling” – through soothing sounds and visuals that range from the banal to the extremely obscure. There’s a lot of roleplay, and a strong focus on being taken care of (and, increasingly, colourful slime). “ASMRtists” might (pretend to) cut your hair; measure you for a suit; give you a medical check-up; help you find a library book; welcome you, a new Santa Claus, to the Christmas Village (I don’t know either); or just potter around, making peaceful noises by opening things and pouring tea.People come to these videos to feel calm and good. So maybe it makes sense that everyone watching them is primed to gently compliment each other.“Who…

An experimental film by a skier and animator combines traditional footage of the extreme sport with stop motion to create a unique finished product. As discussed on Vimeo’s blog, accomplished skier, designer, filmmaker, and animator Sämi Ortlieb worked with a team to produce Maneuvers, what is described as “a playful ode to the do-it-yourself origins of skiing and it’s close relationship with nature.” The film combines traditional footage of skiing with increasingly impressive stop motion effects to create what Ortlieb calls “landscape animation.” “The original idea was to create something I would describe as ‘landscape animation.’ The idea is to bring an environment to life with stop motion animation, using the material provided by the environment,” he tells Vimeo. “I have a lot of creative outlets in my life: drawing, animation, skiing, skateboarding, making music — the list goes on. Animation and skiing have always been a big part of that. So it seemed quite obvious for me to connect the two.” He originally showed this technique in 2017 in a video called Birds Brigade as seen below. “When I first started animating, I was doing traditional 2D animation, frame by frame on paper,” Ortlieb continues. “After incorporating some of…

Most people who engage in professional networking use LinkedIn to build connections or find new opportunities, possibly because they were told to grow their LinkedIn presence when they started working. While LinkedIn is the most popular platform for professional networking, it’s not the only one. Consider these alternatives: 1.

Established in 2002 by Scott Heiferman, Meetup allows you to create and host events and discover and register for local events. Through the Meetup platform, you can find communities of people who have common interests. Events are grouped under various categories. The professional events, categorized under career and business, tend to be a mixture of seminars and after-work networking. Meetup is an excellent platform for discovering events where you can grow your offline network and make face-to-face connections. It’s also a great site for self-promotion and business promotion. The website and its accompanying Android and iOS apps provide a list of events in 855 cities spread across 193 countries. It’s free to register on the platform. 2. AngelList AngelList is one of the most popular LinkedIn alternatives and…

Mark Millar of Millarworld has announced that the brand is leaving Twitter in exchange for primarily newsletter-led communication with their fans. Mark Millar of Millarworld has announced that the brand is officially leaving Twitter. The publisher of comics such as Kick-Ass, Jupiter's Legacy, and the recently announced King of Spies in conjunction with Netflix will be shifting away from using Twitter as a platform, and instead focusing on their own newsletter. Millarworld represents a major publishing arm of Netflix, when in 2017, the streaming giant acquired Millarworld and has been making some exciting joint publishing/streaming announcements. After the acquisition, Netflix announced the publication of The Magic Order, Prodigy, and Sharkey the Bounty Hunter, the last of which was announced in 2018 and published in 2019. With Millarworld moving entirely under the control of Netflix (but with Millar himself still hard at work creating comics), any announcement concerning Millarworld is bound to draw attention. Still, this announcement on Twitter was entirely unexpected. Mark Millar took to Twitter to announce that he would be no longer using the platform, and encouraged those who wanted to learn more about upcoming projects - including those that were headed to Netflix - to sign up for their email list, including a link in the Tweet. While the newsletter does…
