For better or worse, things move at a fast pace in the digital world.  Sometimes it can be hard to keep up with the emerging technologies and social trends.  Luckily, the digital world we live in also comes with some helpful apps to help us stay on track! 


As a digital marketing agency, we understand the positive impact that apps and other digital tools have made on our lives.  This is partially because digital is our expertise, but also because we at SparkShoppe utilize these tools to make our lives easier and fun, too!

  • The Weather Channel App: necessary for making weekend plans in Upstate NY
  • Instagram: our favorite for sharing and quick-editing photos
  • Twitter: the quickest way to stay up to date on news and see #whatstrending
  • Starbucks: our caffeine-loving team loves this app as it is efficient and very user-friendly


Below are some apps you might not have heard of, but we know you will love:

The Meta AI Evolution: Bots, Engagement, and the Future of Social Interaction

April 10, 2025
Remember the early days of the Internet? Digital bots were the unruly disruptors, the digital equivalent of that persistent telemarketer. They clogged feeds with spam, automated shady schemes, and spread misinformation like a digital wildfire.

Now, AI is vying for our attention through comment suggestions, personalized virtual assistants, and a standalone app. Meta is planting its AI roots deeper than we could have possibly imagined just a few short years ago.
