For creators, Instagram’s IGTV won’t replace YouTube, but it could complement it

When Instagram announced IGTV, its standalone app for long-form vertical video, the comparisons to YouTube were inevitable. YouTube is the go-to platform for video content, from young web users to creators; services like Vimeo or even Twitch can’t match its sheer size or popularity. But Instagram — a company with a proven habit of eating its competition — is already proving itself to be a savvy competitor by going after internet celebrities. According to creator Marques Brownlee, while there’s no better place for a video creator in 2018 than YouTube, IGTV has the most potential to become a second home.

Japanese blogger stabbed to death, allegedly by online harasser with a grudge

On Sunday night, cyber-security expert and prolific blogger Kenichiro Okamoto held a seminar in the city of Fukuoka about writing on the internet. During the two-hour event, Okamoto — who also used the online handle Hagex — offered tips on how to get traffic, as well as how to deal with the “blog trouble” he had experienced online over the years, from readers pointing out typos to legal threats and internet feuds.

After the seminar, Okamoto went to the use the bathroom and was stabbed to death by an assailant, who then fled. According to The Asahi Shimbun, police say that a 42-year-old man named Hidemitsu Matsumoto later turned himself in, saying he “held a grudge” against Okamoto because of their online exchanges and had decided to kill him.

Waluigi - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Lucahjin

Due to Nintendo's continued lack of attention towards Waluigi, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets and Easter eggs relating to Waluigi! Waluigi first appeared in Mario Tennis on the Nintendo 64, and has since been a regular character in Mario spin-off titles including the recent Mario Tennis Aces. Waluigi also has a strong connection to Wario, and often appears alongside him as a pair, but not in Super Smash Bros Ultimate... We personally are hoping for a Waluigi game, or even Waluigi games in the future.

YouTube introduces new monetization options to make nice with content creators

Today at VidCon, YouTube announced some new monetization options for content creators. I'm sure most of you have heard about the adpocalypses, where videos have gotten mass-demonetized, oftentimes before they're even published. This has led many creators to seek other means of making a living, most notably with Patreon. But YouTube is trying to rebuild the bridge with them by offering some new ways of more effectively making money, but outside of ads.

Nintendo and Microsoft team up to promote cross-play, while Sony remains silent

The Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft is getting a big update today, bringing the Bedrock Engine to Nintendo’s portable console. The update enables cross-play with PC, Xbox One, and smartphones — but notably not the PlayStation 4. Sony is blocking cross-play for Fortnite, Rocket League, and Minecraft so PS4 players can’t play against Xbox One or Nintendo Switch owners. Meanwhile, Nintendo and Microsoft are partnering to utilize cross-play as a marketing weapon today.

Google can now automatically group your dank memes (and some other stuff) on mobile

You've been able to save images on Google's app and mobile site without downloading them for a long time now. Last September, that functionality extended to non-image pages, and in April, customizable collections rolled out to replace saved pages. Now, certain image searches trigger the Google app to ask if you'd like to create a collection for the thing you're searching for — and images that fit the bill automatically save to the appropriate collection.

Talon is my favorite Twitter client, since it offers many more features than the official app all while looking prettier — it also helps that I happen to like the developer, Luke Klinker, and his work. But earlier today, he announced that he had open sourced one of the most popular Twitter clients, just like he did with the previous version a few years ago.
