Facebook Upside Appears Limited Despite Strong Quarter
Facebook, Inc. ( FB ) stock rallied to a three-month high on Thursday after the company beat third quarter profit and revenue estimates. However, it was a mixed session because the social media giant gapped up and posted the day's high a few minutes after the opening bell before pulling back throughout the day and closing near the intraday low. The reversal highlighted hidden selling pressure while warning new investors that gains may be limited in coming weeks. Technical and political headwinds are likely to drive price action well into 2020, with massive overhead supply around $200 still in place after July 2018's 41-point sell gap and down day. The stock posted the highest selling volume in the past six years in that session, with shareholders hitting the sidelines after the company warned that privacy issues following the Cambridge Analytica scandal were taking a toll on user interaction. That loss of trust has spiraled into a series of international accusations and … [Read more...] about Facebook Upside Appears Limited Despite Strong Quarter

Seniors are pushing back against ageism on TikTok
TikTok has a reputation for being the playground of young people – and for good reason. However, an increasing number of seniors are giving the Chinese social network a go, often encouraged by their children and grandchildren. And the trend is offering old age a new image. Technophobic, frail, cantankerous, senile... Age-related stereotypes are hard to eradicate. They can be particularly detrimental to women, for whom the fact of aging and seeing their body change remains a source of concern. But a surprising boost could come via TikTok and could help them see things differently, according to a study recently published in the journal The Gerontologist . Professor Reuben Ng and Nicole Indran found that older people are increasingly using TikTok, the preferred app of the younger generations. They analysed 1,382 videos posted by users of the social network aged 60 or older, with between 100,000 and 5.3 million followers. The seniors in the video all talk freely about their age in … [Read more...] about Seniors are pushing back against ageism on TikTok
TikTok plans big push into gaming, conducting tests in Vietnam, sources say
HONG KONG/HANOI: TikTok has been conducting tests so users can play games on its video-sharing app in Vietnam, part of plans for a major push into gaming, four people familiar with the matter said. Featuring games on its platform would boost advertising revenue as well as the amount of time users spend on the app – one of the world's most popular with more than 1 billion monthly active users. Boasting a tech-savvy population with 70% of its citizens under the age of 35, Vietnam is an attractive market for social media platforms such as TikTok, Meta Platforms Inc’s Facebook and Alphabet Inc’s YouTube and Google. TikTok, which is owned by China's ByteDance, also plans to roll out gaming more widely in South-East Asia, the people said. That move could come as early as the third quarter, said two of them. The sources declined to be identified as the information has yet to be publicly disclosed.
