Facebook quietly releases an experimental new meme-creation app called Whale

Elamin Abdelmahmoud is Buzzfeed's social media editor and q's online columnist. Every couple of weeks, he brings us up to speed on the big headlines taking over the internet right now. This week, he joins host Tom Power to talk about Facebook's latest experiment, a meme-creation app called Whale. The app is currently only available on the Canadian App Store, which suggests just how experimental it is. Abdelmahmoud tells us what Whale might mean for meme culture and also takes some time to fill us in on the slow journalism movement, which aims to change the way we consume the news.
