Emirati Vlogging Platform 1TAM Launched

Published

on

In the age of social media and interconnectivity what continues to be lacking is authentic and unfiltered conversations between people. 1TAM – One Thing About Me – a UAE homegrown vlogging app aims to tackle this issue by offering a platform which encourages users to produce and share authentic content.

Launched in late 2018, by a young Emirati, Anwar Nusseibeh, and UAE-based serial entrepreneur Khaled Ismail, 1TAM is the first Middle East homegrown fully-fledged social media app featuring raw videos that allow users to connect through genuine and real conversations.

1TAMER’s (the users of 1TAM) can create 60-sec unfiltered videos to express themselves, seek opinions, and interact with like-minded individuals from around the globe. The app contains all standard features found on Instagram and Snapchat, however; it also offers a killer feature, the Answer Back button, which allows 1TAMER’s to have direct video dialogue either the public or private sphere.

“We wanted people to have a real dialogue on 1TAM. With the Answer Back feature we are able to create authentic conversations for our 1TAMER’s and connect our community in a unique way,” said Anwar Nusseibeh, Co-Founder and ‘Let’s Do’ Officer at 1TAM.

1TAM also introduces a point system encouraging community building and engagement that will ultimately allow users to redeem points against goods, services and discounts. Khaled Ismail, Co-Founder and ‘Let’s Talk’ Officer at 1TAM said: “People are amazing, and when you give them the right platform to be real and express themselves genuinely, they can create a global network where everyone can share knowledge, learn something new, and get entertained. This is what 1TAM is all about: genuine, fun, and value-adding content.”

Available on iOS and soon on Android, the 1TAM founders are now seeking forward-looking investors for the second round of funding.

Meta Expands Integration of WhatsApp with Accounts Center

Published

on

Since its launch in 2020, Accounts Center has allowed users to manage their connected experiences across Facebook, Instagram, and Meta Quest with ease. In a significant expansion, Meta announced the rollout of a new option to add WhatsApp to the Accounts Center over the coming months.

The integration prioritizes user choice and privacy. WhatsApp accounts will remain separate from other apps, and only users can decide to link them. This integration is optional and off by default. However, those who opt in can enjoy added convenience. For instance, sharing updates from WhatsApp Status to Facebook or Instagram Stories will become seamless, eliminating the need for multiple posts. Additionally, a single sign-on feature will enable quick and easy access to WhatsApp accounts.

Meta plans to introduce more cross-app features over time. Future updates will allow users to manage their avatars, Meta AI stickers, and Imagine Me creations all in one place. The company commits to providing clear explanations for these updates within their apps to help users make informed decisions.

Privacy remains a priority, with personal messages and calls on WhatsApp continuing to be protected by end-to-end encryption. This ensures that no one, not even WhatsApp or Meta, can access this content. Integrating WhatsApp into Accounts Center does not change this standard.

The global rollout will take time. Users will see the new option in their WhatsApp settings or when prompted while performing cross-app actions, such as resharing their Status. Meta aims to enhance user experience by making digital interactions smoother and more intuitive.

on

Elon Musk has sparked speculation about the potential launch of ‘Xmail,’ an email service that could rival Google’s Gmail. The excitement began when the X account DodgeDesigner suggested that an X-based email service would be “cool.” Musk responded, stating, “Yeah. On the list of things to do,” confirming that the concept is being considered.

This announcement is in line with Musk’s usual method of revealing updates through casual interactions on X. Although no official timeline or details about ‘Xmail’ have been shared yet, the news has generated significant buzz on social media, especially among Musk’s followers.
