The future of gaming is on Meta?

As explained by Meta’s blog post: “Crayta on Facebook Gaming runs on Meta’s cloud-streaming infrastructure, the same tech that powers cloud games on Facebook. Cloud streaming enables deeper game and world-building experiences.”

Meta wants to allow game development to be more accessible for both gamers and developers, while also expanding the Metaverse, connecting the 2D experiences with the future 3D experiences.?

Twitter Drop

“Picture this: Your favorite brand announces that it's dropping a new collection in a few weeks. The weeks fly by and on drop day… you completely forget about it. And that hot new item you wanted? All gone.”

This is the premise shared by Twitter to announce their brand new feature, called “Product Drops.” For now, it is available in the US to selected merchants, such as Dior, HomeDepot, and LEGO Group.

“With Product Drops, when a merchant Tweets about an upcoming launch, you’ll see a “Remind me” button at the bottom of the Tweet.

With one tap, you can request to be reminded of the Drop.

On launch day, you’ll get an in-app notification in your notifications tab 15 minutes before and at the time of the drop, so you can be among one of the first to shop on the merchant’s website and (hopefully) beat out other shoppers.

When you click on the notification, you’ll see a “Shop on website” button to purchase the item on the merchant’s website.”
