GIFs and memes are all over the internet. We all post them, but have you ever made one? PicMonkey is launching a new product to make it quicker and easier for entrepreneurs and small businesses to make these social marketing tools.
Frits Habermann, CEO of PicMonkey, explains how the company's new product works. He says it's targeted at everyone from small business owners to social media influencers.
Habermann also discusses how much graphic design has changed in the 15 years since he co-founded Adobe InDesign. He says that now there is no room for bad design, because everyone has access to a camera and a design tool in the palm of their hands.
Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom.

The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
