The Threads web app is finally here…
A weekly newsletter about all things social media by Nuelink
Welcome to the Nuesletter and the Nuelink Chronicles. Let's dive into this week's digital escapades!
In a surprising twist, Elon Musk declared that the block button might soon be retiring from the platform, with the exception of direct messages. This sparked a wave of reactions from users who see blocking as a shield against trolls and online woes. Oh, the saga of change continues!
Speaking of X, the platform is busy unveiling job listings for verified business profiles. But that's not all. There's talk of some job "matchmaking" on the horizon. Will X become the new LinkedIn?
Twitter's link previews are shedding their old skin and emerging with a new look. But not everyone's humming the same tune, brands, and journalists are concerned about the impact on news sharing.
Meanwhile, X is playing a spend $1000, get $250 ad credit game with SMBs. It's like a cashback offer but for ads. Is it a stroke of marketing genius or a sign of desperate times?
Instagram Threads is threading its way onto web browsers, granting desktop users the power to post and interact. While it might not be a full finetune just yet, this marks a milestone in the Threads tale.
YouTube's AI is getting a musical makeover, with record labels joining the jam session to set the rules for AI-generated music's appearance on the platform. Is AI's debut album dropping soon?
This is a new cool feature! Remember humming your favorite tunes to find out their names? TikTok is listening! Now you can hum, sing, or croon a song to TikTok, and it'll show you the way to your tune.
And finally, BeReal is keeping it real by shaking up its Discovery feed. Who needs to know what strangers are up to when you can catch up with your friends' friends instead?
And there you have it, the social media saga of the week – a symphony of changes, a dance of regulations, and a sprinkle of AI magic. Until next week, keep scrolling, swiping, and staying socially savvy! 📱🌟
You can now catch up on social media news and the latest marketing strategies weekly with the Nuelink team.

The “Um, Delusion” Trend: Just lip sync the phrases "100%" and "Um, delusion." Keep it simple and look hopeful. After recording, put text on top to explain your dreamy thoughts.
Memes 🤣
The “Parted ways with Scooter Braun” Memes: Music mogul and entrepreneur, Scooter Braun, is facing a challenging week as he bids farewell to a number of high-profile clients. The seasoned manager, known for his association with Justin Bieber, has “amicably” separated from several top-tier artists. Speculations about the reasons behind these departures have taken the internet by storm, giving birth to humorous memes and a whirlwind of guesses.

Our Two Cents on Social Media Marketing 🧙♂️
Some content remains relevant over time, while other content is timely and relevant only for a short period. Repurpose both types. Evergreen content can be reshared periodically, while timely content can be reimagined for future events or trends.
Identify and follow thought leaders, experts, and influencers in your industry. These individuals often have their fingers on the pulse of emerging trends and can provide valuable insights and early signals.
Approach your content from different angles or perspectives. For instance, if you have a "how-to" guide, you can repurpose it to highlight specific steps or focus on troubleshooting common issues.
As usual, use Nuelink to keep your social media marketing plan running without investing much time and resources with its automation and scheduling features.
