From Enclosed Vertical Farms to Virtual Thrift Shops
Niko Pajkovic — August 28, 2022 — Business
The August 2022 business trends consist of a variety of exciting new developments that span a diverse range of industries. From the launch of LimeWire's new music-focused NFT platform and the rolling out of Amazon's IoT-based grocery data tracking system to the opening of Gen Z neobanks and sustainability-focused hotels, businesses big and small were busy innovating this month.
However, a standout theme within this collection comes from the widespread release of new e-commerce integrations in popular social media apps. For example, Pinterest introduced 'Pinterest API for Shopping' and 'Product Tagging Pins' to bolster its platform's in-app shopping experience. Meanwhile, Instagram announced the launch of a new 'Payments in Chat' feature that will allow users to purchase products from small businesses via direct messages.
