Generation Signaling
Twitch Completes It’s ‘TikTok’ Makeover

Twitch's mobile app has undergone a significant redesign, placing a TikTok-like discovery feed at the forefront.

Now, when users open the app, they will see a "Home" tab filled with recommended content instead of the traditional "Following" tab — making it easier for users to discover new streamers and engage more frequently with the platform.

The revamped app, which will roll out to all users on Android and iOS, also features tabs for browsing, notifications, user profiles, and a plus button for starting a livestream.

Controversial Friend At That
The Friend You Wear Around Your Neck

Avi Schiffmann is developing an AI companion called "Friend," designed to provide constant companionship and support rather than productivity assistance.

It’s housed in a pendant and interacts with the user by first always listening, and then, responds through text messages sent to a companion app on your phone.

There is a little bit of drama surrounding the launch as well…

Schiffmann reportedly spent around $1.8M in his $1.9M in funding on the domain name, and another founder, Nik Shevchenko, claims to be the original creator of the concept before Schiffman “stole it.”

And yes, someone already came up with a pretty funny spoof.

Safer Riding Options
Lime Is Trying To Attract Women & Elderly

Lime is introducing two new e-bike models, LimeBike and LimeGlider, designed to appeal to women and older riders with features like a lower step-through frame and smaller wheels.

The new vehicles feature big front baskets, a lower center of gravity, and improved ergonomics.

The LimeBike offers both pedal-assist and throttle options, while the LimeGlider provides a moped-like experience without pedals.
