Tech Crunch
No one's posting to Facebook Stories. Only eight of my 2,800 friends have Stories up right now, and three came from the new "cross-post from Instagram Stories" feature. Maybe younger or international demographics are, but I'd bet they're too wrapped up in Snapchat and Instagram. It's slow adoption for a feature cloned from Snapchat that's proven wildly popular elsewhere, and lives prominently at the top of perhaps the world's most-used app.

Facebook is experimenting with letting brands study people's posts and comments on the network in an effort to better inform their marketing.
The beta test, an extension of Facebook's Audience Insights API marketing tech platform, isn't expected to be widely available until next year, according to people familiar with the offering who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss something Facebook hasn't announced yet.

Within nine months of its launch, it looks like The New York Times has more than a success on its hands. "The Daily" is becoming a phenomenon, an out-of-the-blue hit that is forcing print-based business leaders to think anew about the revolutionary power of digital audio. Further, as the leading edge of The New York Times' now dozen-strong audio unit, it may provide a growing line of revenue still badly required to overcome print ad loss.

On Thursday, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg repeated a Facebook talking point that's beginning to wear thin. Asked if Facebook is a media company, she resisted the characterization. "At our heart we're a tech company; we hire engineers. We don't hire reporters, no one's a journalist, we don't cover the news," she said.
Facebook does not want to be viewed as a media company, which would bring a responsibility to the truth and potential accusations of bias.

USA Today has quietly launched an ad-free version for users of its mobile apps who don't want to see ads. The offering costs $2.99 a month after a free two-week trial and is part of a larger effort to grow consumer revenue at USA Today and Gannett's other 109 local newspapers to offset declining print ad revenue.
USA Today realized that there was a market for the product after seeing "dozens" of comments in the app's reviews section by people saying they would pay for an ad-free version.

Fall is an excellent time to plant most shrubs, tree, grasses and perennials. Early to mid-fall is the best time because plants have three seasons — fall, winter, spring — to get established before they must face the heat and drought stresses of summer.

Mention tulips, and few of us think of scimitars and Suleiman the Magnificent. But before the Dutch began breeding the flower as the zaftig blossoms we know today, the tulip was a tiny gem like bloom that filled gardens of the Ottoman empire, its likeness woven into rugs and fired into ceramics.
