MommaJam is hosted by WATD’s mom, Sara Eberle, and airs every Thursday at 7:10 a.m. Sara Eberle produces and hosts MommaJam, a crank up the volume, shout out loud audio podcast for mothers that cover MOP Culture (mom pop culture) which she launched in 2008. Sara is the mom of two teenagers. She realized mothers need some edge, stimulating conversation and connections to other parents, since being at home with young children can be isolating. Every episode features a special guest who is an expert, artist, parent in the trenches, or business leader making front line decisions about products and entertainment influencing your children. The topics are appropriate for moms in all stages of parenthood, from baby to teenagers. Prior to MommaJam, Sara owned a public relations firm in Los Angeles, representing video games, consumer software products and technology companies. She is an entrepreneur at heart and, after running a business and being in the thick of pop culture and emerging technologies for 15 years, she is happily raising her children and dreaming up the next big step for MommaJam, which is to launch the show on satellite or terrestrial radio nationwide. Besides hosting MommaJam, Sara is a contributing writer…

LOUISVILLE, KY. – Travis Puckett, 23, originally of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, previously pled guilty before United States District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings for attempted online enticement of a minor, announced Acting United States Attorney Michael A. Bennett.  Today, Judge Jennings sentenced Puckett to 10 years in prison followed by a 15-year term of Supervised Release. There is no parole in the federal system.  Puckett will be required to register as a sex offender. “Mr. Puckett will serve a 10-year federal prison sentence followed by 15 years of supervision as a result of the outstanding work of AUSA Lawless and our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney Bennett.  “Our children and communities are safer because of their tireless effort in identifying, charging, and prosecuting those who engage in this egregious criminal conduct.” According to the Plea Agreement, on October 6, 2019, a Detective with the Louisville Metro Police Department took part in an undercover investigation on the Internet.  The Detective posed as a 14-year-old girl on a social media app. At approximately 6:00 p.m. that evening, a person using the profile of a 22-year-old, white male, from Elizabethtown, and identified as “Travis,” sent the undercover profile a…

With various celebrations coming up, Snapchat has today shared some new insight into how its users are planning to engage with these events, and how marketers can look to reach them with their campaigns. As explained by Snap: "Snapchatters are gearing up for a season of celebrating, with holidays and festivals like Easter, Ramadan, Passover, and Holi all on the horizon. One in two Snapchatters around the world plan to observe a holiday or festival this March and April, but many have had to get extra creative with their celebrations." Indeed, with pandemic restrictions still limiting what people can do, Snapchat users have been forced to re-assess their regular holiday routines once again. But the pandemic may also have strengthened their resolve to uphold their traditions, with most looking to stay focused on the positive elements as a means of maintaining some level of normalcy and connection. But that will, as noted, mean a change in approach. So how are Snapchatters looking to change? One way could be through increased gift-giving: "Most Snapchatters plan to spend the same amount of money or more on holiday purchases this year. Specialty foods and drinks are a top purchase for Snapchatters, along with new outfits…

Awaiting judgment day: Jarryd Hayne faces an 'inevitable' jail sentence when he appears in the District Court again in May, Judge Helen Syme saidThe jury that found Jarryd Hayne guilty of rape were shown pages of messages between him and his victim .The Instagram, text and Snapchat messages are contained in court documents and are at the centre of the case against the footballer, 33 - who is likely to be jailed when he returns to court to be sentenced in May.One batch of messages shows how Hayne and the victim, then 26, flirted for weeks on Instagram before he assaulted her at her home near Newcastle on September 30, 2018. In the messages, Hayne asks the woman to send him selfies and quips 'how steamy' after she confesses to thinking about having sex with him. But what seemed to have been the foundation for a consensual encounter took a turn when Hayne came to the woman's house on the outskirts of Newcastle and left his taxi running out the front.   In text to a loved one, the victim describes how she stopped wanting to have sex with him after learning about the cab waiting outside to take him back to Sydney.She recounts…

Dear Amy: I'm a 31-year-old husband with a beautiful wife and two amazing little girls.My wife and I have been married for six years.Two years ago, my wife reached out to an old flame and engaged in an emotional affair. She continued to talk with him even while we were going to marriage counseling. After she stopped that relationship, a few months went by quite nicely.Then she started an emotional affair (through Snapchat) with a co-worker.She was caught and said it would stop.That happened exactly a year ago.The day before Mother's Day last May, she told me that the only thing she wanted was a day of not having to be a mother.I was happy to oblige, so I loaded up the girls and we spent the day together, so "Mommy" could be on her own.I didn't hear from her all day, and she didn't come home that night.The next day, on Mother's Day, she met me at my mom's house and apologized. She said she got drunk with an old friend.Turns out, that was a lie. A few days ago, she confessed to sleeping with a total stranger that night.I don't know what to do. I feel like the…

In 2020, social media usage in Canada reached new heights across all the platforms we track, as people relied more on the medium to connect with loved ones and find new information on the health crisis. This growing base of users adds fuel to social media advertising, which will account for the majority of display ad investment this year. Tools for commerce have also advanced in the past 12 months, making social media a key discovery channel for retailers and allowing buyers to advance through the purchase funnel more readily.Almost two-thirds (63.2%) of Canada’s population will use social media at least once per month in 2021. Most of that consumption will be on smartphones, and increasingly on platforms made for mobile like Instagram and Snapchat.Social networks will reach almost full penetration among adult Gen Zers this year, or 99.0% of users ages 18 to 24. The next-highest penetration rate will be among the 25-to-34 age bracket, younger millennials, at 90.9%.Social media’s high penetration rate among Gen Z reflects the fact that the group grew up when social networking was already entrenched. Younger age demographics are also responsible for the shift away from Facebook and the growth in Instagram, Snapchat, and…

1 of 2 Students walk between classes Feb. 8, 2019, on the University of Wyoming campus in Laramie.  Cowboy Joe gestures to the crowd at the game against Idaho at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie on Sept. 14, 2019. Members of younger generations can be more connected through technology than they are to one another. In many ways, it’s a shame; young people can’t help the time period in which we were born or the advances that have been made over our lifetime. Love it or hate it, this digital age is increasingly coming to define us, and nowhere is this more evident than the first year of college.For those of us just starting out, it’s the first time we’ve had to intentionally set out to make friends since we’ve joined Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter. We were still relatively new to these platforms when we were making friends in high school, and especially middle school, but once you get to college, you realize how much harder it is to put yourself out there after spending four years with the same friends and consumed in the realm of social media.Luckily, there are ways to still break out of this media bubble…

Die französische Datenschutzbehörde hat eine Untersuchung wegen angeblicher Datenschutzverletzungen durch die Clubhouse-App eingeleitet. Es gab auch eine Meldung, dass die Macher der App ein Accelerator-Programm eingeführt haben. Überdies sollen auch Chats geknackt worden sein. Satnam Narang von Tenable über den den Status von Clubhouse in Sachen IT- und Datensicherheit. Satnam Narang, Staff Research Engineer bei Tenable (c) Tenable Im Februar 2021 überschritt Clubhouse die Marke von acht Millionen globalen Downloads für seine sprachbasierte Social-Media-App, die derzeit nur auf iOS-Geräten verfügbar ist. In der Vergangenheit habe ich festgestellt, dass, wenn eine App bei den Nutzern an Popularität gewinnt, Betrüger schnell aufmerksam werden und ihre eigene Nische um sie herum finden, egal ob es sich um Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tinder oder TikTok handelt. Es gibt einige Herausforderungen, die Clubhouse für Betrüger darstellt, aber auch Chancen. Da die App sprachgesteuert ist, gibt es zum Beispiel keine Möglichkeit, mit Benutzern zu chatten, um Links zu Betrügereien zu verbreiten, was oft die bevorzugte Methode von Betrügern ist. Clubhouse ermöglicht es Benutzern, soziale Profile für Instagram und Twitter zu bewerben, was die wahrscheinlichste Methode ist, um Benutzer zu Betrügereien zu führen. Ich habe dies bei meiner TikTok-Recherche vor ein paar Jahren gesehen, als Betrüger…
