Time To Digg

PRESENTED BY MONDAY.COM

Welcome to Thursday, Future Party. In what is probably the best collision of Gen Z slang and LinkedInfluencer brain, former McKinsey business analyst Langni Zeng has branded networking skills as “biz rizz.” She even shared a few tips on how to develop biz rizz in an article for Insider… and, friends, we cannot stop saying it. Truly iconic. Kudos, Langni.

Digg, one of the earliest social media platforms, is coming back from the (near) dead after original owner Kevin Rose acquired the assets and teamed up with one of his biggest former rivals — Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian — to reimagine the platform for the modern age.

The Big Picture: Social media was initially designed to connect average people and build community around niche topics, which is what Digg was created to do in 2004 before falling apart in 2012. The major platforms have mostly strayed from that mission, so Digg hopes it can be a fresh and nostalgic alternative.

Behind the Curtain: Can Digg be the comeback story of the year?

The Future: Digg will start sending out invites to users in the coming weeks, which may target some of the biggest community-builders on Reddit. That would make sense, considering Rose spent thousands of dollars on ads to query moderators about their biggest challenges overseeing subreddits (which likely touched on recent battles with current Reddit management).

Rose and Ohanian stress that community moderators will be the backbone of what makes Digg 2.0 work… so they want to build a platform that works best for them. If these future moderators dig the platform (pun intended), then it could become the home for people who have no interest in likes, follows, or shares.

“Functional beverages” — drinks that claim to fortify your hair and nails, give you clean energy, or make you live longer — are becoming one of the hottest markets in the food and beverage industry, as people look to boost their health, beauty, and performance.

Why It Hits: Health and wellness has been surging in popularity across hospitality, technology, and supplements, so it was only a matter of time before our drinks got a dose of the trend. They’re already a big hit in Asia. Mordor Intelligence estimates that the global market will surpass $329 billion by 2030.

Behind the Ingredients: Toasting to health and a long life is becoming very literal.

Last Sip: Like any trend built on big promises, there will be an overflow of scams and dubious claims (especially in a largely unregulated space), so the companies that get validation from the established medical community or high-performing individuals will likely see the biggest boost.

Case in point: The supplement label IM8 was founded by healthcare entrepreneur Danny Yeung and none other than soccer legend David Beckham, who wanted to find a way to get his 15 daily pills down to one drinkable sachet. There’s no better marketing hook than that.
