Instagram’s Community Guidelines can be overreacting to certain contents sometimes and innocent people’s accounts would get deleted in the blink of an eye.

Apparently, last week Facebook quietly released a rather peculiar app called Whale, which allows the user to create memes via stock photos or various pictures found on your device.

There are crowdfunding platforms out there like Kickstarter and Crowdfund which are doing a good job helping many nonprofit organisations to start up on their own.
