Between Vimeo’s professional fees and YouTube’s multiple issues as of late, drone content creators are running out of places to display their gorgeous footage. If you’re one such content creator, you’ll want to hear about the new service dedicated to drone content that’s got your back: AirVūz.

It’s easy to look at AirVūz as the “YouTube for drone footage,” but, of course, this is an oversimplification. In fact, AirVūz has taken significant steps to ensure that their platform will be mistaken neither for YouTube nor Vimeo during users’ search for drone-created content.

In addition to enjoying a fresh platform, AirVūz’s users will benefit from the following aspects:
– 100 percent free operation
– A collaborative community showcase of content
– Ad-free service
– Daily content promotion via social media
– A focused, in-depth niche experience

You’ll also be able to look forward to viewing and sharing content created exclusively by other drone users, which can both motivate them to try new creative things and inspire your own creativity. We tend to work best when challenged by others of our own ilk, and AirVūz is no exception to that rule.

AirVūz supports a fair amount of the more widely implemented aspects of video-sharing sites as well, meaning your content will be viewable in up to 4K resolution, and you won’t have to worry about length restrictions.

While your videos’ lengths and resolution values will ultimately depend on your camera and internet connection, it’s refreshing to see a site that removes some of the primordial shackles to which other sites still subject their users (looking at you, YouTube).

There’s always something to be said for a service that caters to a specific demographic, and AirVūz has all of you drone enthusiasts covered in that regard. Whether you just received a drone for Christmas or you’re several years deep in the game, you’ll want to head over to the AirVūz website and create an account right away.

Do you ever find yourself having just read an entire page of a book and having retained nothing? Then you have to read back through and see that none of it sounds remotely familiar?

We’ve all been there, and it’s easy to let your mind wander when doing something as solitary as reading. It can be frustrating because we double the time that we spend reading.

Well, I have two words for you: Sans Forgetica. For my friends within a history of Latin, yes, that does translate to “without forgetting.”

Sans Forgetica is a font that has been specifically engineered to help a reader retain the information that they’re reading. Say what?!

This was developed by researchers at RMIT University Behavioral Business Lab in Melbourne. The font name is a combination between Comic Sans and Helvetica, and the way the font is designed is that each letter is titled exactly seven degrees to the left, with various gaps drawn straight down the middle.

“This is the first time ever that specific principles from psychological theory have been combined with specific principles from design theory in order to create a font,” said Jo Peryman, chair of RMIT Behavioral Business Lab.

The font operates by convincing the reader’s brain to work. Being that the font is visually unconventional, the reader has to work hard in order to decipher exactly what it is seeing.

Much like how we can decipher jumbled words if they begin and end with the right letter (e.g. rdeanig), our brains can fill in the gaps in order to tilt the letters right side up. Because of this, your brain slows down to fully comprehend what it is seeing – making it easier for the reader to retain the information.

The issue that we often run into is that reading becomes such a flex of memory rather than a comprehensive activity. But, the researchers have had to be careful about how much work the brain will have to do to read Sans Forgetica, otherwise readers will become frustrated and likely give up.

If this catches on, this could be an amazing tool to implement in an academic setting, and can also be helpful with reports and presentations. Talk about productivity!

Looking ahead to International Women’s Day (March 8, 2020), Pinterest shared their data on trending searches by women. According to the lifestyle-heavy social platform, “As the global income of women reaches trillions of dollars, women are expected to control almost 75% of discretionary spending worldwide by 2028.

These women are using Pinterest to find ideas for dinner, travel, home and family clothing choices. But, the how-tos and inspiration go beyond recipes, holidays and styling as women also use the platform for tips for buying their first home, traveling solo, and negotiating salary.”

Top trends include solo living, climbing the workplace ladder, and collaborating with others. This all comes on the tail of the Pinterest 100 report which dug into the top trends pinners are likely to search in 2020.

For Living Solo, it appears that more and more women are embracing and investing their time and energy into living single. Searches for “solo travel” increased by 63 percent, which is a good piece of data for travel-based companies to be aware of so that they can cater to this rising trend.

Additionally, searches for solo date ideas are up 57 percent. “Think about how you may want to spend a Saturday as a date day for yourself,” says self-care expert, Marla Goldberrg. “Do you want to take a hike or exercise? Head to a spa for a massage or another treatment of choice, then back home to refresh and head out to a new restaurant or possibly a fundraiser? There are so many options that one has to honor and treat themselves.” This is another valuable piece of data that event, lifestyle, and entertainment industries can be capitalizing on.

Finally, realtors will be interested to know that the search of “buying your first home” spiked up 124 percent. According to the National Association of Realtors, 18 percent of homes last year were purchased by single women, compared to nine percent single males and eight percent unmarried couples.

When it comes to Rising in the Ranks, searches for “business ideas startup” went up a whopping 941 percent. After that, searching “how to ask for a raise at work” went up 254 percent, while “negotiating a new salary” increased by 32 percent.

Heading back to school is also a major interest on the minds of women. The search “going back to school as a mom” increased by 53 percent.

Power to the Partnership helps celebrate the positive support system surrounding women. The search “inspirational quotes for women motivation” increased by 755 percent, “inspirational quote for women encouragement” increased by 300 percent, and “girls support girls quotes” increased by 399 percent.

Also tracked were increases in searches by men in the avenue of helping split more chores and expanding responsibilities around the house. Searches by men for “hairstyles for kids” went up 247 percent, while “kids braided hairstyles” increased by 203 percent. “Cleaning schedules” increased by 343 percent, “house cleaning tips” by 193 percent, and “easy family dinner ideas” by 35 percent.

Take a moment to think about what these trends could mean for you and your industry.
