Ten reveals the first teaser for The Bachelor

Matty J is set to make his highly anticipated return to television screens, as he begins his quest to find true love in the brand new season of Ten’s The Bachelor Australia. Proving that time heals a broken heart, the Bachelor – whom audiences fell in love with last year on The Bachelorette Australia – is back for his second chance at love. The Bachelor has been a ratings winner for Ten in the past. Ten is betting big on the new season to pull them out of their ratings woes following the failed season of The Biggest Loser.

UnLtd raises $44,000 for KidsXpress

The sixth installment of the annual UnLtd Cup was won by Yahoo7 with a 3-0 victory over Carat at AppNexus Stadium. The UnLtd Cup is an industry fundraising event directly supporting KidsXpress, where 16 teams from within the media, marketing and advertising industry play a round robin tournament and then move through Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and onto the Grand Final. Stephanie Lara from Yahoo!7 was named the Player of the Final, while Fairfax and MCN were the beaten semi-fnalists. This year, the UnLtd Cup raised $44,000 through just one day of futsal, which will enable 14 children to participate in the KidsXpress world first, expressive therapy program – helping to undo the damage caused through trauma, family loss and domestic violence. The UnLtd Cup will be back in 2018 to break through the $250,000 milestone with registrations opening in January.

Facebook and Spotify partner for group playlists

Facebook users are now able to create playlists with friends on Spotify. Group Playlists allow users to collaborate with friends and build music libraries through Facebook's messaging service using a Spotify Chat extension. Once a friend has created a group playlist, others in the conversation can add more songs directly through the extension, available by tapping the blue ‘+’ icon next to the composer. Facebook users are able to collaborate without Spotify accounts.
