Hold Up! Instagram Might Be Testing “Super Likes” for Stories
|
|
Get ready to shower your favorite stories with some extra love!
Instagram is reportedly experimenting with a new feature called
“Super Likes” which you can send once per 24 hours.
This could mean a major shift in how users interact with stories, potentially allowing for a more nuanced way to express appreciation beyond the basic tap.
Imagine being able to show creators just how much you really loved their story. Will Super Likes be a game-changer for influencer engagement or just another social media gimmick?

YouTube Music Gets Brainy: AI Radio Stations on the Horizon

Calling all music lovers! YouTube Music is testing a brand new feature that utilizes the power of AI –
personalized radio stations built using your voice!
This innovative approach allows you to ditch the endless scrolling and tell the AI exactly what you’re in the mood for.
Feeling like some “summer jams”? Or maybe you’re craving “catchy pop choruses”? Just speak your desires and the AI will curate a custom playlist tailored to your specific tastes.
This feature is currently in testing with YouTube Music Premium subscribers, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way we discover music. Is the future of music streaming personalized by AI assistants?

Pinterest Revolutionizes Product Photography with AI-Generated Backgrounds
|
|
Pinterest is shaking things up in the world of product photography with their innovative AI-powered background generation process. Unlike other platforms that offer generic backdrops, Pinterest’s system is far more sophisticated.
Here’s the magic: Using the
power of AI, Pinterest can analyze existing product images from your Pins and create unique, custom backgrounds that perfectly complement your product’s style. This gives you, the seller, more creative control over the overall aesthetic of your product listings.
Imagine showcasing your summer dresses against a backdrop of a breezy beach scene, or highlighting your winter wear with a cozy fireplace setting – all without the hassle and expense of professional photography.

X Tests Broken Heart Button: Downvotes Coming for Replies?
|
|
Looks like X is giving comments a makeover!
The platform is currently testing a downvote button for replies, allowing users to express their disapproval
with a broken-heart icon.
While news for downvotes hit the internet last month, we’re still seeing progress through leaks. Does this mean X will go through with it?
Will downvotes become a weapon for silencing opposing voices or a helpful tool for prioritizing valuable contributions?
We still don’t know. It’s still early days, but X’s experiment with comment downvotes is sure to spark conversation (and maybe a few broken hearts) online.

Instagram Expands Notes to Reels and Feed Posts
|
|
Remember those cute little sticky notes you used in school? Well, Instagram is bringing them back – virtually, of course! The platform has expanded its Notes feature to include Reels and feed posts, allowing users to leave
temporary comments that disappear after three days.
Think of it as a way to spark quick conversations or add playful commentary to your content. Here’s the twist: Notes can only be seen and left by mutual followers, creating a more intimate space for interaction among friends.
This update caters to younger audiences who embraced the Notes feature in their inboxes. But could it also encourage more dynamic engagement on Reels and feed posts?
