So what are your thoughts on ‘the metaverse’ and its coming applications for marketing? What about cryptocurrency, and offering crypto payment options, or NFTs and the potential for branded digital content that could help boost brand awareness?
There’s clearly a level of opportunity in each of these elements, but in most cases, it’s probably too early to be investing too much in the next stage just yet. Right?
These are among the questions that Unsupervised recently put to over 800 marketers to get their thoughts on where things are at, and where things are headed with the latest tech trends.
Among their key findings:
- 41% of marketers believe that they understand the metaverse well – while more than 1 in 10 don’t understand it at all
- Over half of those who understand the metaverse will be looking to use it in their marketing strategies this year
- Accepting crypto payments and creating branded NFTs are among the top recommendations from marketers relating to new tech
It is still very early in development for many of these considerations, but things are moving fast, and there may well be extra opportunities for early movers in the space,

‘Stop the hate’ online, UN chief pleads on Holocaust Day

The UN secretary-general warned of social media’s role in spreading violent extremism around the globe as he marked Holocaust Remembrance Day on Friday, urging policy makers to help stop online hate.
Antonio Guterres said parts of the internet were turning into “toxic waste dumps for hate and vicious lies” that were driving “extremism from the margins to the mainstream.”
“Today, I am issuing an urgent appeal to everyone with influence across the information ecosystem,” Guterres said at a commemoration ceremony at the United Nations. “Stop the hate. Set up guardrails. And enforce them.”
He accused social media platforms and advertisers of profiting off the spread of hateful content.
“By using algorithms that amplify hate to keep users glued to their screens, social media platforms are complicit,” added Guterres. “And so are the advertisers subsidizing this business model.”
Guterres drew parallels with the rise of Nazism in 1930s Germany, when people didn’t pay attention or protest.
“Today, we can hear echoes of those same siren songs to hate. From an economic crisis that is breeding discontent to populist demagogues using the crisis to seduce voters to runaway misinformation, paranoid conspiracy theories and unchecked hate speech.”
He lamented the rise of anti-Semitism, which he said also reflects a rise of all kinds of hate.
“And what is true for anti-Semitism is true for other forms of hate. Racism. Anti-Muslim bigotry. Xenophobia. Homophobia. Misogyny”

The Most Visited Websites in the World – 2023 Edition [Infographic]
![The Most Visited Websites in the World - 2023 Edition [Infographic]](https://articles.entireweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/1674846578_The-Most-Visited-Websites-in-the-World-2023-Edition.png)
Google remains the most-visited website in the world, while Facebook is still the most frequented social platform, based on web traffic. Well, actually, YouTube is, but YouTube’s only a partial social app, right?
The findings are displayed in this new visualization from Visual Capitalist, which uses SimilarWeb data to show the most visited websites in bubble chart format, highlighting the variance in traffic.
As you can see, following Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are the next most visited social platforms, which is likely in line with what most would expect – though the low numbers for TikTok probably stand out, given its dominance of modern media zeitgeist.
But there is a reason for that – this data is based on website visits, not app usage, so platforms like TikTok and Snapchat, which are primarily focused on the in-app experience, won’t fare as well in this particular overview.
In that sense, it’s interesting to see which social platforms are engaging audiences via their desktop offerings.
