Meta is working on some interesting AI features…
A weekly newsletter about all things social media by Nuelink
This week at Meta was quite eventful. The tech giant is releasing a generative AI chatbot called "Gen AI Personas" aimed at the younger crowd. It's bringing the party to Instagram too. Plus, get ready for more stickers than your laptop can handle.
Meta also just unveiled their swanky new glasses. Not only do they replace your headphones, but they also come with upgraded mics. The cameras got a facelift too, capturing your life in glorious 12-megapixel photos and 1080p videos.
Speaking of Meta. Meta's promising a separate account deletion for Threads by December. You don’t have to sacrifice your Instagram anymore.
Over at Bluesky, the app soared to new heights, riding the waves of Elon Musk's missteps with X. Users flocked to Bluesky like bees to honey after Musk dropped the bombshell of the possibility of charging a monthly fee for X services. Looks like the price tag left some users feeling a bit blue.
In the X universe, Linda Yaccarino spilled the tea that video calls are making their grand entrance into the app's “everything app” transition. But, it seems the VIP access to audio and video calls is reserved for the X Premium members.
In Google news, the Podcasts app is bidding farewell in 2024. The internet giant is now shifting focus to YouTube Music for all of its podcasting needs.
YouTube creators got a nod too, as the platform loosened its content guidelines. More leeway means more opportunities to turn your views into dollars.
TikTok's eCommerce dreams hit a speed bump in Indonesia due to concerns about its shopping tools. But, they still decided to go ahead with an in-app wallet!
Last but not least, LinkedIn is making strides in accessibility. All articles will now go through Microsoft's “Immersive Reader” system.
And that, dear readers, wraps up this week's Nuelink Chronicles. Stay tuned for more social media adventures, where the only constant is change, and the memes are forever! 📱🚀
You can now catch up on social media news and the latest marketing strategies weekly with the Nuelink team.

Memes 🤣
The “Uno Reverse Card” Meme: In a viral moment from a charity soccer match between Sidemen FC and the "YouTube All-Stars," a referee issued a yellow card to YouTuber Max Fosh, who responded by humorously countering with an Uno Reverse Card. The incident quickly gained traction on social media, sparking jokes and memes. The episode has since evolved into a widely used meme template.

Our Two Cents on Social Media Marketing 🧙♂️
Leverage data and analytics to personalize the social media experience for your audience. Tailor content based on user preferences, behavior, and demographics.
If your target audience includes professionals or businesses, use LinkedIn Polls strategically. Pose industry-related questions, ask for opinions on trending topics, or seek input on potential product/service developments.
Take advantage of the short-form video trend on platforms like Instagram by telling engaging stories through Reels. These can be behind-the-scenes looks, day-in-the-life narratives, or quick tips related to your brand.
As usual, use Nuelink to keep your social media marketing plan running without investing much time and resources with its automation and scheduling features.
