What’s new this week?
One Third Fewer Cat Pics
The average Facebook user posted a third less original content in 2016 than in 2015, reports Forbes (covering social media firm Mavrck’s new study). What’s behind the drop? Users aren’t leaving the platform, but they are using it “in different ways.” (Like arguing about politics with their relatives?)

What’s a Data Scientist, Anyway?
Fast Company named “data scientist” the #2 top job for non-profits in 2017. I think hiring a true “data scientist” (the kind that creates algorithms to, say, power Netflix’s recommendation engine) is out of reach for most non-profits. But knowing how to use data is a hot skill for any industry. <hint, hint>

Oh, and Facebook announced that videos will play with the sound on. People aren’t happy.
