Meta is continuing to encourage Instagram users to use Reels and make more content using its short-form video feature. Instagram has enabled displaying of all forms of videos posted on the app as Reels, which indicates that the company is focusing on Reels more than ever, so much that Meta believes that in order for your content to reach more audience, Reels must be a part of your marketing approach.  

 

According to Instagram, over 45% of accounts now interact with a Reel in the app at least once a week. This shows how much social media users have become more comfortable with engaging with short-form content. Of course, the trend was initiated by TikTok, and was adopted as a strategy by other platforms after TikTok’s massive popularity, in order to keep up with the usage shift.

 

To further develop creators and brands’ interest in using Reels, Instagram has recently introduced a bunch of tips that can help maximize content reach, the top most of which are about immediacy and creativity.

 

First, Instagram suggests that brands must highlight their mission or showcase their products within the first few seconds of a Reels clip. Second, Instagram encourages getting creative and experimental, which would create both entertainment for viewers, as well as make a brand stand out in its personality.

To enhance its AR and VR experiences further, Meta is now developing new spatial audio tools. With the help of this integration, people will be able to live moments of immersive graphics and sounds when they put on their AR glasses.  

 

Spatial audio is one of Meta’s key drivers for the Metaverse, and the company has already introduced a bit of the spatial audio experience in its Ray-Ban Stories glasses that feature open air speakers to deliver sound directly into the wearer’s ears, without an earpiece.

 

Currently, Meta is creating three new models for audio-visual understanding and inviting developers and audio experts to contribute to its research. According to Meta, the models “focus on human speech and sounds in video.”

Which Countries Export the Most Food Products by Value? #infographic

In 2019, a review of countries that export the most food products by value was published. This map from howlongtocook.org groups countries from profits of over $10 billion dollars to less than $10 million dollars. The top three counties earning over $10 billion dollars are the United States, Germany, and China. Switzerland just made it to the top earners list by a mere $1 billion dollars. There are several countries that barely missed earning a spot as a top earner- Vietnam and Poland were about $1 billion dollars short. It is impressive to see the small differences that some of these countries have between each other. Some of the smaller countries that earn under $10 million dollars in profit are mostly islands. The top three countries that earned under $10 million dollars may not be well known locations to the vast majority, and they are Palau, Saint Helena, and Nauru. Many of the places in this section are locations that have harsh climates or limited resources or land that is usable. One would wonder if any of these rankings are swapped even yearly due to outlying circumstances.

The Oldest Schools in Every U.S. State

The very first commencement ceremony at Harvard University took place in 1642, where just nine students graduated and moved on to religious and political careers. The school had been established just six years earlier on September 8, 1636 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Not only is Harvard University nearly 150 years older than the United States itself, but it's one of just three colleges or universities in the United States that was established during the 1600s.
