Apr. 13, 2017 – In trying to get more user stats, Instagram definitely went a step ahead by using Biometric Lens to see how people physiologically react to ads on Instagram.

They found out that respondents focused their attention more on the image portion of the ad than on the other parts. Ahhh…isn’t that interesting?

There is a whole podcast on more such insights that came out of the study.

Apr. 25, 2017 – Remember related articles? The topics that appear on your news feed (based on the ones you have read before.)

What about them, you ask?

Well, Facebook is testing a new feature wherein articles will appear before you read a shared article. These are the articles which many people would be talking about and according to Facebook “will provide people easier access to additional perspectives and information, including articles by third-party fact-checkers.”

For sure I am looking forward to this!

Applying the same principles, YouTube wants to make itself easier to use and more fun for its users. (Smart move)

They will be applying Material Design to its desktop site to deliver a beautiful, delightful and intuitive user experience.

The key aspects of this new design will be:
