Snapchat just revealed people snapped a trillion selfies in the last year, and Jay Schwedelson can’t decide if that’s hilarious or horrifying. He also breaks down why the first two weeks of October are prime time for collecting customer data, why LinkedIn video views are suddenly slipping, and what Europe’s push for a “digital majority age” could mean for social media. And, because balance matters, he even weighs in on the Golden Bachelor fiasco.
