TikTok Gets Community Notes…

A weekly newsletter about all things social media by Nuelink

Welcome back to the Nuesletter! Here’s your weekly social media roundup:

🧠 Meta Resumes AI Training in EU: Meta is back to training its AI models on public Facebook and Instagram content in the EU after previously pausing due to regulatory concerns. Starting this week, public posts, comments, and user interactions with Meta AI will be used to improve its models.

👯‍♀️ Instagram Rolls Out “Blend” for Reels: Get ready to mix your feed with your besties! Instagram's new Blend feature creates a personalized Reels feed for you and a friend (or a whole group chat). It’s invite-only for now and refreshes daily with fresh content.

📌 TikTok Tests “Footnotes” for More Context: TikTok is taking a page from X with its new Footnotes feature. It lets users add helpful context to videos, starting in the U.S. The goal? Improve understanding and fight misinformation, right alongside content labels and fact-checking tools.

📍 TikTok Reviews Appear in Comments: Searching for that cute café you just saw in a TikTok? You might not need Google anymore. TikTok is now testing location-based reviews right inside the comments tab of videos.

🎬 Google Launches Veo 2 for AI Video Creation: Google dropped Veo 2, its new AI video generator that turns text into high-res, cinematic 8-second clips. Available to Gemini Advanced and Google One AI Premium users, it even adds a SynthID watermark and supports image animation with Whisk Animate. Movie magic, meet machine learning.

🚀 YouTube Expands Hype Program + Ad Tips: YouTube’s boosting visibility for smaller creators through an expanded Hype program. Plus, creators can now get a head start understanding new mid-roll ad placement rules coming next month.

Our Two Cents on Social Media Marketing 🧙‍♂️

• Use words and phrases your audience actually says. Mirror their tone, slang, and pain points in your captions and videos to make them feel seen and understood.

• Create content that says, "This is exactly what I’ve been thinking!" Whether it’s a relatable meme, a confession-style post, or a problem they’re trying to solve, mirroring their inner thoughts builds trust fast.

• When you shift your messaging to focus on your audience, your content becomes instantly more engaging. Instead of talking about what you do or what your brand offers, speak directly to your audience’s experience.

• As usual, use Nuelink to keep your social media marketing plan running without investing much time and resources with its automation and scheduling features.
