#Fun — Leverage The Power of Memes To Engage And Grow You Audience On Social Media

It’s no secret that social media love memes and memes love social media, as they feed and grow from each other.

Indeed, memes are great pieces of content to share on social media, since by nature they are:

  • Brief: images and videos make for good snacking content, that’s quick to consume, catering to always shorter attention spans.
  • Great explainers: leveraging pop culture reference, they are actually quite handy to explain difficult concepts in simple ways.
  • Viral: they tend to rely on humor, satire, sarcasm and self-mockery, making them powerfully shareable.

Here are two meme examples about the same, trending topic of cryptocurrency:

  • This one is joking exemplifies the use of “self-mockery” in a piece of content that would cater to cryptocurrency enthusiasts:

  • While that one compares the current status of the cryptocurrency market to a movie virtually everyone has seen — the Titanic — and would proably resonate better with cryptocurrency detractors;

Whatever you are trying to convey, chances are, there is a meme for that.

What’s in it for Social Media Managers: whether you are explaining something difficult, or trying to relate with your audience, memes are great inside jokes, which can tell a message quickly and easily to your target audience.

Play Fake News, A Game Of Facts & Falsehoods

#Fun — Play Fake News, A Game Of Facts & Falsehoods

Let’s end the week on a fun note, and celebrate both Bastille Day and POTUS being in France for the occasion, with a fun game to play called Fake News.

The concept is simple: you are presented with a series of news headlines and you must determine which ones are actual news and which ones are fake news before you run out of time.

And, as the game’s website reminds you:

They are all real headlines. They are just not all true.

Cherry on the cake, the arcade-inspired, retro design of both the website and the game itself is just plainly awesome!

Fake News is available for free on the App Store.

Have fun & happy Bastille Day you all!

Predict Whether Your Cat Is Plotting To Kill You

#Fun — Predict Whether Your Cat Is Plotting To Kill You

Let’s go for a Funday Friday with a great app by The Oatmeal (Matt Inman): Is your cat plotting to kill you?

Predict Whether Your Cat Is Plotting To Kill You The Oatmeal Screenshot

In a traditional The Oatmeal style, the app is marketed as homicidal-cat detection software, which you can point at your cat to scan their intentions, and which is compatible with most cats (and also tigers) but not with dogs, children or livestock.

In fact, much like a Buzzfeed quizz, this allows you to answer a few simple and hilarious questions to determine whether your cat is plotting to kill you.

You can then upload a picture of your cat and share your results with yours friends.

Here is what we got when we scanned our cat:

The app is available for free on the App Store and will be available in the Google Play Store “at some point in space and time” according to The Oatmeal’s website.

What’s in it for Social Media Managers: an opportunity to engage with your audience on a fun note by asking them what score they got, and inspiration to create humorous pieces of content with a high viral potential.

Discover A New Book With Every New Tab

#Fun — Discover A New Book With Every New Tab

Let’s start the week easy, with a pretty fun browser extension that lets you discover a new book with every new tab you open: 100 Million Books.

100 million books offers a new book with every new tab

This is the kind of cool, peaceful program we really love, just like ShowerThoughts & RatherNice:

Created & maintained by Steve Jain, 100 Million Books fosters wild serendipity rather than accurate relevance:

100 Million Books (is) a browser extension that shows you a new idea from a new book every time you open a new tab. There are no categories and no social features and no algorithms whatsoever. From fiction to nonfiction, old to new, science to literature, etc… it presents you the world.

This is not a technical choice but a philosophical statement, an attempt at making society technology advance society by reducing filter bubbles induced by algorithms & bots.

100 Million Books is available for free here for Chrome, and you can make it your homepage on any other browser with this URL: http://100millionbooks.org/standalone/.

Nowadays, everything seems to be about optimization — “harder, better, faster, stronger” would say Daft Punk — and although we do want to help you be the best at what you do with Loomly, we also think, as human beings, that sometimes it’s great to escape from this frenzy and get a bit more existential.

ShowerThoughts will provide you exactly with this much needed break, offering you philosophical thoughts when you open a new tab in your browser:

Get Philosophical Thoughts With Every New Browser Tab

Sure, these philosophical thoughts are closer to sarcasm than nietzscheism, but they do a pretty good thought-provocative job.

Some of the philosophical thoughts we got when playing with this plugin were:

  • “I don’t know if I like popcorn while I watch movies, but I do know that I like popcorn while I watch pre-show entertainment at the movies.” — Artdilly
  • “Mars is a planet inhabited entirely by robots.” —Bohemian7
  • “We have woken up over 10000 times, but we’re still not used to it.” —ortseam98
  • “The first person ever to use sarcasm probably ended up sounding pretty stupid.” —Tokyoz

ShowerThoughts is available for free here in the Chrome Webstore.

Inspired by the r/MemeEconomy subreddit, the team at Me.me created a super fun tool allowing all of us to track meme trends!

Me.me Trends basically works like Google Trends: type in one or more terms and a graph will show you how popular your phrases have been over time, in the realm of memes.

If you have some time to waste kill, there is even an awesome “random” feature that will give you trends for a couple of related terms… when playing with it, we got:

  • Xbox vs. Nintendo vs. Playstation.
  • Donald Trump vs. Hilary Clinton.
  • Obama vs. Biden.

Fun fact: Me.me actually teamed up with data scientist and former NASA researcher Evan Freitag to create Me.me Trends!
