Snapchat is now known as a platform for individuals and brands -- one that allows users to create quick, lighthearted, and even educational video content without using valuable production resources. For brands, this means a new opportunity to show off their culture, share knowledge, and connect with their audience in a new and exciting way.
After reporting more than 100 million daily active users, and over 8 billion video views a day, we decided to give it a go: The official HubSpot Snapchat account launched in March 2016. And while we're still getting our feet wet, we've already learned a lot about executing and iterating a successful Snapchat business strategy.
To help you get started, we've detailed everything we've learned (so far) below. We'll start by going over the basics -- how to set up an account, create a Snap, leverage effects, etc. -- and jump into some tips after that. ...

Brian Little: Who are you, really? The puzzle of personality

15:15 minutes · Filmed Feb 2016 · Posted Jun 2016 · TED2016

What makes you ... you? Psychologists talk about our traits, or defined characteristics that make us who we are. But Brian Little is more interested in the moments when we transcend those traits -- sometimes because our culture demands it of us, and sometimes because we demand it of ourselves. Join Little as he dissects the surprising differences between introverts and extroverts, and explains why your personality may be more malleable than you think.

Ninety-six percent of genetic studies -- including most of what we know about our genome -- are based on people of European descent. Geneticist Keolu Fox points out the absurdity of this, as he makes a strong case for indigenous people to get involved in research on their own genetic heritage ... because every community has a right to understand its own genetic health. "The research community needs to immerse itself in indigenous culture," he says, "or die trying." Watch »

Seema Bansal had a challenge: Overhaul 15,000 primary schools in the state of Haryana, in India, and bring 80 percent of children up to grade level by 2020. Oh, and -- with no budget increase. Bansal shares the creative, low-cost and no-cost ideas that emerged when she and her team did something few other would-be reformers had: they listened to teachers. Watch »

Between you and your destination, there's a big green lawn. Do you take the sidewalk, or do you cut across the lawn for a shorter trip? In this short talk, Tom Hulme talks about why we take shortcuts -- and what designers (and everyone) can learn from noticing them. Bonus: Once you know how to spot these "desire paths," you'll start noticing them everywhere.  Watch »

Quote of the Week

We communicate differently, extroverts and introverts. Extroverts, when they interact, want to have lots of social encounter. They'd like to stand close for comfortable communication. They like to have a lot of eye contact, or mutual gaze. When an extrovert meets a Charles, it rapidly becomes "Charlie," and then "Chuck," and then "Chuckles Baby." Whereas for introverts, it remains "Charles."

Andrew Pelling: This scientist makes ears out of apples

07:05 minutes · Filmed Feb 2016 · Posted Jun 2016 · TED2016

Andrew Pelling is a biohacker, and nature is his hardware. His favorite materials are the simplest ones (and oftentimes he finds them around the house). Building on the cellulose structure that gives an apple its shape, he "grows" lifelike human ears, pioneering a process that might someday be used to repair body parts safely and cheaply. And he has some even wilder ideas to share ... "What I'm really curious about is if one day it will be possible to repair, rebuild and augment our own bodies with stuff we make in the kitchen," he says.

In this eye-opening talk, activist Andrew Youn shows how his group, One Acre Fund, is helping poor farmers to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

We're not going to end violence and war just by telling people that it's morally wrong, says activist Jamila Raqib. Instead, she teaches tactics for nonviolent resistance -- and there's a lot more to it than street protests. This talk is full of encouraging examples of creative strategies that led to change around the world. "The greatest hope for humanity lies not in condemning violence," she says, "but in making violence obsolete." Watch »

How often does technology interrupt us from what we really mean to be doing? At work and at play, we spend a startling amount of time distracted by pings and pop-ups; instead of helping us spend our time well, it often feels like our tech is stealing our time away from us. Design thinker Tristan Harris offers thoughtful new ideas for technology that creates more meaningful interaction. He asks: "What does the future of technology look like when you're designing for the deepest human values?" Watch »

Quote of the Week

We have this all-or-nothing relationship with technology, right? You're either on, and you're connected and distracted all the time, or you're off, but then you're wondering, am I missing something important? We need to restore choice. We want to have a relationship with technology that gives us back choice about how we spend time with it."
