May 28, 2021 It's May 28, 2021. We'll be taking Monday off for Memorial Day and hope you do, too. Here's a playlist to keep you entertained while you wait for us to come back on Tuesday next week: Spotify | Apple Music     ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 286 articles, 8 podcasts, 16 press releases, 413 tweets, and 9 YouTube videos 1. Twitter Makes Spaces Available on Desktop and Mobile Browsers Twitter just announced that its relatively new audio-only service, Spaces, will be available to users on the web via browser, instead of just the Twitter app on iOS or Android. Everyone's rushing for that Clubhouse-style market share! 2. Google Adds Ability to Directly Save Photos From Your Gmail Saving photos you get in Gmail is about to get a little eaiser. Google will add a new "Save to Photos" button right in Gmail, skipping the whole "download to my computer, then re-upload to Google Photos" step. Hooray! 3. Microsoft Announces 'Dramatic' Improvements to Shared Outlook Calendars If shared calendars are exciting to you, then these changes might actually be "the biggest change to Outlook for Windows since its initial release in 1997." Still, the company has simply improved the reliability and sync latency of Outlook shared calendars, so take the hyperbole with a grain of salt (or two). 🦑 Go Deeper There are rumors floating around that Valve is planning to make its own handheld gaming gadget, like Nintendo's Switch. Joshua Hawkins takes a skeptical look at the concept based on Vavle's track record with gaming hardware in the past. Hint: They haven't done all that well.     🎱 By the Numbers Explosive growth Data: TechCrunch, New York Times, Mashable, CNBC, Medium Audio-only social media company Clubhouse reported 1,500 users in May 2020, and then, less than a year later, says it has 10,000,000 users. Talk about amazing growth! People sure do like talking (and listening) to other people.     🔥 Today's Hot Deal Looking for a bright, high-resolution projector for your backyard movie nights?

(Share on Twitter) 💎 You Know You Want It  Flying high Image: Sony Sony's as-yet un-priced Airpeak drone has us excited, even if it's not quite ready for retail yet.

Disney Plus just hit 103 million subscribers after hits Wandavision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and still didn't hit analysts predictions for growth.
