#StraightOutta, Sesame Street, Kim Kardashian: What was in and what was out
Facebook is #StraightOutta LOLs: “Haha” is the official language of laughter.

Twitter lifted the restraints of 140 characters in direct messages and Dr. Dre surgically implanted an infectious meme that went viral online. Tinder had a meltdown on Twitter over a Vanity Fair article while Mic bragged about getting an interview with President Obama.
A look of what’s in and what’s out for the week ending of August 14 — summed up in one chart.
