More baffling is my friends that say "I saw on Tok Tok..." and then take it for gospel. Wasn't it on Tok Tok that people started cooking chicken in NyQuil?

Hold onto your Geritol.

”But for the rising generation of teens and young adults, TikTok is becoming the place to find information, taking on the functions of established internet giants. The service, which boasts more than a billion users, is more than just an app where 10-to-25-year-olds watch video clips, and the older guard is taking notice.”

The trend is also noted by NYT, USA Today, Adweek, The Verge, INC., and ABC News.

According to TechCrunch Google is responding by ”… revamping the traditional Google Search experience to allow users to more naturally explore information. To accomplish this, the company is introducing a number of new features, including tools to drill down into topics and other changes that will make using search a more visual experience, highlighting maps snippets, imagery and even video in new ways.

TikTok often shows a VERY SHORT video with stupid content with no substance.


Just because I'm old, doesn't mean it's not true.
