Will Facebook Issues Be The Downfall Of TikTok, Spotify, And Tinder?

A number of popular apps and services including Spotify, Music Blogs, Pinterest, and Tinder were inaccessible today on iOS devices due to a now-resolved issue involving Facebook log-ins.

There were widespread reports on social media of apps crashing whenever launched on iPhones and iPads, and corresponding outage spikes on DownDetector.com.

The cause of the outages seems to have been Facebook’s software development kit, or SDK, which many apps use to manage user logins. Users don’t have to be using Facebook to log into an app for this to affect their software (they don’t even have to have it installed), and there were no reports of the same apps crashing on Android.

We Miss Google+

Google+ was a social network owned and operated by Google. The network was launched on June 28, 2011, in an attempt to challenge other social networks. Google+ is now only available for G Suite customers, and it is no longer available for consumer (personal) and brand accounts.

A security bug allowed third-party developers to access Google+ user profile data since 2015 until Google discovered and patched it. Google+ made sharing online more like sharing in real life.

Due to low user engagement and disclosed software design flaws that potentially allowed outside developers access to personal information of its users, the Google+ developer API was discontinued on March 7, 2019, and Google+ was shut down for business use and consumers on April 2, 2019.

But here at The Wrap-Up Magazine, Google+ brought many viewers to our platform. We enjoyed and miss Google+.

Photos and videos stored in Google Photos, for instance, will not be affected. Your Google account, which is linked to services such as Gmail, YouTube and Maps, will continue to work, but your Google+ account, which was only used for the social network, will be deleted.

Jennifer Lopez Shares Inspiring Advice to Be Successful

Lopez is already generating Oscar buzz for her flick Hustlers. Should she win, the Maid in Manhattan star would make history at the first Latina to win an Academy Award in the best actress category.

Jennifer Lopez didn’t become the massive Hollywood star she is overnight.

Lopez stressed that you have to go “out every day and do what you do and find a path in.” The mom of two noted that if somebody is “tenacious” and works “hard enough,” they will find a way like she did. “That’s what I had to create,” she shared. “I had to create the life that I wanted to live.” Talk about tips to developing a stronger work ethic!

No surprise, Lopez’s hustling paid off. Over the course of her decades-long career, she has dropped countless dance floor hits and starred in a number of beloved films, including The Wedding Planner and Selena, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for her breakout role.

The “Dance Again” singer—who declared the upcoming movie is “about women – period”—plays stripper Romana in the film. Lopez had to learn how to pole dance for the role, so she took a crash course. “It’s difficult,” she admitted to Variety. “It’s funny walking in someone else’s shoes—you never know what it’s like. Until it’s you.”

Slack Gives Customers More Control

Slack announced today that it is launching Enterprise Key Management a new tool that enables customers to control their encryption keys in the enterprise version of the communications app.

Slack currently encrypts data in transit and at rest, but the new tool augments this by giving customers greater control over the encryption keys that Slack uses to encrypt messages and files being shared.

A big benefit of EKM is that in the event of a security threat or if you ever experience suspicious activity, your security team can cut off access to the content at any time if necessary.

EKM for Slack is generally available today for Enterprise Grid customers for an additional fee. Slack, which announced plans to go public last month, has raised over $1 billion on a $7 billion valuation.

Top 5 Things To Do Before Releasing Your Album

Planning a album is a lot of work and you need to know exactly what is in store for you before you take the first step. Before you get ready, here are 5 things you need to consider before dropping your next album.

Planning on releasing your album? Releasing an album requires a lot of work, money, and effort, and you have to know exactly you're facing before you even take the first step if it is going to work. As you get your album ready for the public, here are five things to keep in mind.

Source

1. Make sure you understand the broad picture, and that your album needs promotion, distribution, and possibly manufacturing to make the process of releasing the album worthwhile.

On a self-release level, it could mean everything from selling copies at shows to landing a national distribution deal, but you have to know one thing for sure: just because you're not working with a record label doesn't mean that you won't have to do the work that a record label does if you want your release to be a success.

2. You can hire various PR companies or handle things yourself. That decision comes down to your budget and what you think you can realistically achieve. If you are promoting your album yourself, decide in advance what your promotion targets are. Your job will be most manageable if you focus on a region plus any markets where you'll be playing shows.

3. Fortunately, in these modern times, there's no particular need for you to manufacture hard copies of your album and start courting distributors to place it in record stores. Tunecore, CD Baby, and other sites can get your music to the people digitally with ease. However, you need a plan for distribution, even if you do it digitally.

4. Live shows are the best way to promote just about anything, including your new release. Hitting the road hard will increase your fan base and help you get press for your album, but booking is something that takes time - and time is at a premium when you're releasing your album.

If you're experienced at booking your shows, then you probably have a database of existing contacts to make your job easier. If you haven't booked shows before, be sure to allow some time for getting some gigs set up around your release date.

5. Releasing an album costs money; can you afford it? Putting all of the costs on your credit card is not necessarily a good plan. Be sure to create a budget for your release that doesn't overreach what you can realistically afford.

Settle on an investment you can afford, plan accordingly, and then use the money that comes in to fund your next project.
