[Gen-Z has begun using TikTok as a job-hunting platform](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/19/technology/tiktok-resumes-jobs.html). The New York Times’s Taylor Lorenz reports: “In modern job searches, tidy one-page résumés are increasingly going the way of the fax machine. That may be accelerated by an app known for viral lip-syncing and dance videos, which is popularizing the TikTok résumé.” ## Travel Apps For 2021 The travel world changed massively in the past year-and-a-half. And it’s still changing! With people getting back in the travel swing of things this summer, our smartphones have become even more important for exploring responsibly.

[The Verge has the deets on Fleets](https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/14/22577166/twitter-fleets-shuts-down-stories-clone): “Starting on August 3rd, users will instead just see active Spaces — Twitter’s live audio chat rooms — at the top of their timelines. And the composer for traditional tweets will be updated with more camera editing features from Fleets, like text-formatting and GIF stickers over photos.” ## Cashing In On Facebook [Facebook is making creating content for the social network (and Instagram) worth creators’ time](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/14/facebook-to-pay-creators-1-billion-through-2022.html). “We want to build the best platforms for millions of creators to make a living, so we’re creating new programs to invest over $1 billion to reward creators for great content they create on Facebook and Instagram through 2022,” Zuckerberg  [wrote on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10113607549897721). “Investing in creators isn’t new for us, but I’m excited to expand this work over time.” ## Weekly Moment of Zen [Simone Biles' signature stunts to watch at the Tokyo Olympics](https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/simone-biles-signature-stunts-tokyo-olympics-78082681). - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Facebook Goes Meta](https://www.turnerpr.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/socialmedia2021-1-1.png) ](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/facebook-goes-meta) #### [Facebook Goes Meta](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/facebook-goes-meta) [Tyler Wilcox](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/author/tyler-wilcox) : November 05, 2021 A curated collection of can’t-miss news from this week, including 2021 social media trends and more.
