FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A new artificial intelligence feature on Snapchat is designed to help Gen Z and Millennials better understand their financial futures while using a platform they already frequent. The feature, developed with Experian, allows users to access financial education tools through Snapchat's AI chat function. Instead of only using augmented reality lenses and filters, users can now ask questions about money management topics such as budgeting, saving and building credit. "Experian really wanted to meet consumers where they are. And we know that, especially Gen Z, they're digital natives. They grew up on digital platforms," said Christina Roman, Experian's consumer education and advocacy manager. Roman said the goal is to make financial information more accessible to younger audiences. Within the app, Snapchat users can click on the Experian icon inside the AI chat section to ask general financial questions. For more personalized guidance, users are directed to additional Experian tools outside the app. "If they need further information, if they would like more personalized information, then we will guide them back to Experian, where we have our Experian virtual assistant that can answer more tailored questions based on maybe information in their credit report or guide them

Meta Platforms (NasdaqGS:META) is rolling out Instagram Plus, a global paid subscription tier that adds premium features on Instagram and expands revenue beyond advertising.

Reuters|Published 5 years ago INTERNATIONAL - Billionaire Elon Musk said on Monday bitcoin was "on the verge" of being more widely accepted among investors as he expressed his support for the cryptocurrency in a chat on social media app Clubhouse that drew thousands of listeners. The comments followed his use of the "#bitcoin" tag on his Twitter profile on Friday, which pushed the crytocurrency up 14 percent. Musk, CEO of Tesla, is known for making comments on Twitter that move markets and he acknowledged this during his debut on the invitation-only app Clubhouse. "I am a supporter of bitcoin," he said. "I was a little slow on the uptake," he said, adding he should have bought it eight years ago. "I think bitcoin is on the verge of getting broad acceptance by conventional finance people." Bitcoin last traded up 3.7 percent at $34,390 (R516508.91), having surged over 300 percent in 2020. On the wide-ranging chat Musk discussed memes, Mars, his companies,  » Read More

Users who rely on WhatsApp’s web version will soon be able to make voice and video calls in group chats. Here are the details. Voice and video calls coming soon to group chats on WhatsApp Web Earlier this year, WhatsApp began testing voice and video call support on the web. While the feature still hasn’t officially rolled out beyond this initial test, the company is already working on the next logical step: bringing these calls to group chats. As spotted by WABetaInfo , some users on the WhatsApp Web beta received a notification telling them calling on the web is now available on group chats, with support for up to 32 people. That includes voice and video calls, with support for screen sharing. Image: WABetaInfo From WABetaInfo: Starting a group call on WhatsApp Web works the same way as in individual chats. After opening a group chat, you should look for the call button at the top of the conversation. If you can see the call button, the feature is already available for your account. Clicking the button will let you choose between a voice call and a video call before connecting with the group. In addition, users can select

BATON ROUGE – LSU Head Coach Lane Kiffin and Football General Manager Billy Glasscock announced Monday the completion of the football program’s front office staff. Led by Glasscock, the front office staff is comprised of Adam Clark and JR Belton, who assumed their Assistant General Manager roles during the spring, as well as Taylor Jacobs, who will serve as Chief Strategy Officer for the football program. LSU Football has been at the forefront nationally in the everchanging landscape of college athletics, and these staffing moves give the program a true front office – much like that of an NFL franchise – that can serve and better construct a roster that will enable the Tigers to compete at the highest level. “We were very intentional when we put together our front office staff,” Billy Glasscock said, “We wanted to hire the best people with varying backgrounds who will be able to serve our student-athletes and help us compete for championships in this ever-changing landscape of college athletics. “This group is innovative and understands the demands of helping run the best brand in college athletics. We have assembled a great staff and they have already made an impact on our program.” Jacobs

Microsoft Advertising today extended its LinkedIn Profile targeting feature to include job seniority as a targeting dimension, adding a new layer of professional-identity filtering to both Search and Audience ads campaigns. The update, announced by Navah Hopkins, Microsoft Ads Liaison and international speaker, makes it possible for advertisers to narrow their reach not just by company, job function, or industry - but now by where a person sits in an organisational hierarchy. The feature introduces 10 standardised job seniority levels drawn from LinkedIn member profile data: CXO, VP, Director, Manager, Senior, Entry, Owner, Partner, Training, and Volunteer. These levels are accessible at both the campaign and ad group level within Microsoft Advertising settings, giving advertisers the option to apply seniority targeting broadly across a campaign or to segment creative and messaging more granularly by audience tier within a single campaign structure. What the 10 seniority levels mean in practice The taxonomy itself warrants attention. The 10 categories cover a wide spectrum, from C-suite executives under the CXO label to entry-level employees and volunteers. Owner and Partner occupy distinct classifications separate from the executive CXO category, which matters for advertisers targeting founders or professional services firms where ownership and decision-making authority may not map onto a conventional
