📱 'Myspace for Gen Z' aims X The new social media app called noplace (fka nospace) was launched this week and quickly gained popularity among #GenZ users and those nostalgic for the internet's early days. TechCrunch said the buzzworthy platform reached the top spot in Apple's App Store after its launch on Wednesday, but it didn't appear on the chart by late Thursday. The "Myspace for Gen Z" lets users customize their profiles with colors, tags, and interests. It has two feeds — one for friends and another for global users. In a unique approach, noplace doesn't use algorithms but relies on artificial intelligence for suggestions and curation. 👉 The app, which had a 500,000-person waitlist before its launch, has secured approximately $19 million from investors, including Reddit, Inc. co-founder Alexis Ohanian's Seven Seven Six fund. #noplace #genzapp #socialmediarevolution #newkidontheblock #socialmedia

Flipboard Is Pivoting To ActivityPub and the Fediverse: Flipboard, the social media magazine and news app, announced that it is starting to switch its user accounts to ActivityPub, a technology developed by the World Wide Web Consortium that makes social networks interoperable, "connecting everything to a single social graph and content-sharing system," reports The Verge. From the report: Right now, only 25 accounts have been federated with ActivityPub, but by March Flipboard says it plans to allow anyone on the platform to open their account to the fediverse and allow any Flipboard user to follow any fediverse account from within the Flipboard app. At that point, Flipboard will essentially be an ActivityPub-based platform like Mastodon or Pixelfed but with an interface designed for reading articles instead of bite-sized posts. It'll be the biggest thing in the fediverse -- at least until Threads shows up for real. "Basically, we're in the process of replacing our whole social back-end with ActivityPub," says Flipboard CEO Mike McCue. "I think Flipboard is going to be the first mainstream consumer service that existed in a walled garden that switches over to ActivityPub." Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Vertical social apps are firmly establishing themselves in the realm of hobby culture, a trend primarily championed by GenZ. The landscape is witnessing a surge of new apps catering to a wide spectrum of interests, ranging from the mainstream to the highly specialized. If there's a subreddit or a niche on TikTok dedicated to a particular interest, you can bet that an app tailored to that passion is likely in development. The vertical social market is currently ablaze and is poised to grow in significance as early adopters and trendsetters continually seek the next big thing. At Science, we remain committed to allocating our resources and capital to support companies that possess a deep understanding of consumer influence, a mission we've pursued for over a decade. Trends may ebb and flow, but our strength lies in deciphering the future.

As people grapple with a #lonelinesscrisis, shouldn’t the social media apps of the future bring us closer together in new, more inclusive ways? With it’s simple interface, and friend-first feed, #Noplace has become the latest #app to ascend to the #socialmedia throne. Some are attributing the platform’s success to #nostalgia (notably, to its similiarities to Myspace), while others are pointing to intimate #community building as the app’s secret sauce. Noplace’s #AppStore description states that it’s trying to emulate social media as it was before it became all about “algos and #ads. While that’s a great idea, that is undoubtedly resonating with people, something else stood out to me… The app allows people to pin their top 10 friends to their profiles for everyone else to see. The concept makes me uneasy. Sure, people are sick of ads. But social media was making people unhappy, even before the ads and the #algorithms, in large part because it was making them lonely. For me, the worst bit of social media is its capacity to make me feel left out, all the time, regardless of how many friends I’m surrounded by (IRL and URL). The act of handpicking and flaunting your closest friends online feels like it might offer an ego boost, more than it might guarantee a genuine sense of #humanconnection. Social media could return to what it was before #Tiktok, before the #enshitification of the internet. But why go back to something that was less bad, when we can create something even better?

In the ever-evolving landscape of the digital age, the way we connect, communicate, and share our lives has undergone a profound transformation. This transformation is fueled by a wave of emerging social apps that are reshaping the dynamics of online interaction. From redefining how we network to influencing the very fabric of our society, these apps are heralding a new era in social connectivity.
