Inclusivity is a hot topic in the world of social media, with user representation proving a key factor of concern for the Internet’s favourite social networking platforms. Snapchat, for example, has boosted inclusivity by rolling out wheelchair animations for its Bitmoji avatars. “Bitmoji’s mission has always been to create avatars that reflect and represent the diversity of our community. And while we recognise that we have more work to do, today we hope to become one step closer in reaching our greater goal of making inclusivity a fundamental part of our Bitmoji avatar platform,” explains the Snapchat team in a blog post. Available in the stickers tab The use of these avatars – built to reflect user traits and now available with a wheelchair – was first made possible from Feb 25 following a test launch. In fact, users looking to customise their Bitmoji to reflect their physical appearance now have the option of adding a manual wheelchair. Simply type “wheelchair” into the search bar via the Bitmoji app or in Snapchat by selecting the stickers tab. A collaborative effort In the past, Snapchat has been criticised for its lack of accessibility options for users with disabilities, especially those with…

A woman enjoying some audio. Perhaps social audio, such as Clubhouse, or perhaps just music. Photo by Blaz Erzetic on Unsplash Social audio is probably the hottest startup space right now. Just ask anyone begging for a Clubhouse invite. But why? The answer, according to analyst Jeremiah Owyang, is that audio is the ‘Goldilocks medium:’ not too much, not too little, but just right. “What we found is during the quarantine is that text messaging just doesn’t give us the emotion and the nuance that the human condition requires, especially during isolation,” Owyang told me recently on the TechFirst podcast. “On the flip side — aside from this amazing show — Zoom calls and video shows are just too taxing on people.” We’ve all been on the Zoom call where we’re mostly looking at our own faces, just to ensure that veggies from lunch aren’t still between our teeth. And we’ve also been on Twitter doom-scrolling thousands of tweets wondering why we followed all the people we did. Social audio, led by front-runner startup Clubhouse, is the happy medium, says Owyang. “You come as you are,” Owyang says. “You don’t have to be wearing your business suit. You don’t have…

Image via VimeoNon-fungible tokens are taking over the digital art world and now contemporary artist Krista Kim’s newest project is featuring the world’s first digital NFT home.Named Mars House, the abode’s visual effects emit a calming atmosphere. Kim also furnished her virtual house with vibrant and sleek neon and iridescent-colored pieces. These items can also exist IRL: most of the furniture can be constructed in real life by glass-furniture makers in Italy and by using MicroLED screen technology. Kim also partnered with Jeff Schroeder of the Smashing Pumpkins to make the crypto home’s peaceful soundtrack.Kim has previously collaborated with brands like Lamborghini and Lanvin, and recently entered the NFT space while she was quarantining. “In the near future, we will live in an AR/VR world, digital art, architecture, cars, fashion, pets, etc,” Kim told Architectural Digest.Kim also believes those who own NFT artworks should project them in their homes. “Everyone should install an LED wall in their house for NFT art,” she told the publication. “This is the future, and Mars House demonstrates the beauty of that possibility.”There have already been some noteworthy moments in the NFT sphere, with digital artist Beeple selling his virtual piece Everydays – The First…

Clubhouse, the invite-only conversation app that has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity during the pandemic, has gotten a privacy-friendly update. Following numerous complaints about the app’s aggressive push to access its users’ contacts, Clubhouse now lets users invite their friends without having to open up their address book. The update follows multiple reports about privacy issues with the app, which was especially hungry for users’ contacts, forcing them to give the app access if they wanted to invite others. (Currently, people can only join the app if they have an invitation.) But when users granted that access, they were encouraged to invite more of their contacts, told how many of their contacts’ contacts were already on the app, told who in their address book was already signed up, and told when one of their contacts joined the app — all while encouraging them to start a private room to welcome them. This could be a great feature for people who want to see which of their friends are on the platform and connect with them.  » Read More

The Lady Rockstars have been learning instruments and playing in a band during the pandemic, all online. It's connecting women across continents. CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Charlotte musician is helping women connect in an unusual way thanks to a business plan that was actually in place years ago, but is perfectly suited for the pandemic. They're called Lady Rockstars. It's become a source of unexpected connection in a year when that's been hard to find. If you search YouTube for guitar lessons, Krystle Baller said the instructors all look pretty similar. "You go online and type in guitar tutorial you’re going to get 95% are white men," Baller said. "I feel like it's important that as many instruments are available to women as possible because we often don’t see ourselves reflected in the music industry." Krystle Baller teaches music lessons and is also the creator of Lady Rockstars through her company Pachyderm Music Lab. "The premise before the pandemic was that we would learn a couple songs together and then go play as a band at an open mic," she said. Like many people, she had to switch gears and start teaching the classes and hosting performances online. But her…

He went on to tell her that he would be babysitting an 8-year-old girl in the near future, then sent her a sexually graphic photo of a young girl, police…
