Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is used to competing in figure-baring leotards - but she took a break from the performance wear to show off her athletic physique in a series of racy swimsuit shots, leaving her fans and followers stunned in the process. The 23-year-old - who is the most decorated female gymnast in history - shared several images of herself modeling a risque strapless orange bathing suit that knotted up in the front of her body, allowing her to bare plenty of skin. She topped off the warm-weather look with a chic sunhat, and joked in her caption that she was dreaming of 'being on a beach in Thailand' but would happily settle for the sprawling backyard of her home in Houston, Texas.   If you've got it....

More than just a place to hang out and network, Clubhouse is “in the pole position to change the culture like no social platform has since Music.ly and Instagram before that,” writes Nue Agency’s Jesse Kirshbaum.By Jesse Kirshbaum of the Nue AgencyThey are in the pole position to change the culture like no social platform has since Music.ly (and Instagram before that).One of the biggest success stories of the pandemic has been an app called Clubhouse.Clubhouse, which officially launched in February 2020, took off in late Spring and has since become the place to hangout, network, and connect.All day and night there are conversations taking place on a wide range of topics from crypto secrets to racial injustice to the NFL playoffs (with top players from the league!)The founders, Paul Davison and Rohan Seth, first raised money and eyebrows with an all-star consortium of Silicon Valley backers, including Andreesen Horowitz and the Cultural Leadership Fund (shouts to Chris Lyons for putting so many of us on!). The roughly $100 million dollar raise caught a lot of people’s attention: how can an app in beta with fewer than 5000 users garner a valuation like that?!The rollout was pitch-perfect and every night…

Those playing Destiny 2 and hated that FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) feeling whenever you can’t complete everything in a given time, Bungie is looking to reduce that by introducing Destiny 2 Seasonal Challenges. This is a new system set to launch soon for Destiny 2 which aims to remove FOMO, but also to give fresh ways for guardians to earn XP and alternate rewards.The dev team at Bungie explains how Destiny 2 Seasonal Challenges work, and what their goal is for it.Dev team: During production of Beyond Light, we started looking at the problems of bounty fatigue and FOMO, as well as Seasonal legibility (i.e., “What is in a Season?” and “How to I engage with it when I log in?”). We created a few goals which we believe will improve the experience:Provide a guide to new, returning, and veteran players for what to do today/this week.Guide the player through the Seasonal content, week-over-week.Encourage players to engage with complexities and nuances of the Seasonal activity and rituals.Reduce the penalties on XP and Bright Dust for missing a given week.To solve these goals, we are introducing a new pursuit type for players – Seasonal Challenges. The Seasonal Challenges live on their…

Waaaaaay before Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and those fresh-faced babies dubbed TikTok and Clubhouse, there was Bebo.As every Millennial will know, Bebo was the OG social network. Anyone else remember the laborious task of curating your top 16 friends and penning a painfully witty bio to match your 'pretty butterfly' skin? Ah, good times.Well, we've got some serious nostalgia for you: Bebo is making a comeback next month and we're so ready. What is the Clubhouse app? A mashup of Spotify, Zoom and even the X Factor, this invite-only app is all anyone's talking about After closing down due to bankruptcy in 2013, it seems the social networking site could be making a major comeback.Overnight, social media users noticed that when you head to bebo.com, a message appears on the website which reads: “Bebo is coming back in February 2021 as a brand new social network. We are currently in private beta. If you’ve been invited please enter the password below.” BEBO Very cryptic. Created in 2005, Bebo boasted over 10 million users and even topped MySpace in the race for social network popularity (sorry, MySpace Tom). The company was acquired by Amazon through Twitch Interactive in 2019 for a whopping…

(CNN Business)For months, people have been clamoring to get access to Clubhouse, a buzzy invite-only social media app where members join virtual rooms to have live, unscripted discussions. Topics range from the "future of San Francisco," with the city's district attorney participating, and Kanye West to startup pitch events and various off color conversations. Unlike other social networks, the platform is audio-based — not text — making it feel like an interactive podcast (or a conference call). On any given night, according to a blog post this week from founders Paul Davison and Rohan Seth, there are thousands of different rooms that people can join for live conversations. "Hosts" act as moderators of conversations and those in the room can raise their hands, virtually, to have their mic turned on to lend their voice. Participants include a who's-who list of venture capitalists, tech leaders and celebrities. Davison and Seth, who are both well connected in the tech industry from previous roles at top companies, said their goal with Clubhouse "was to build a social experience that felt more human — where instead of posting, you could gather with other people and talk." In the less than a year since it…
