Hello ,

Things are more topsy-turvy in the digital space than ever. And favorite platforms, like YouTube, are adjusting their policies and taking actions to maintain viability, such as this action against ad-blocker usage explained by Search Engine Land in this recent post.

I think of it this way, using AdBlockers means YouTube creators don't get paid 🤦🏽‍♀️

Personally I signed up for YouTube Premium as soon as it was launched. They called it YouTube Red back in those days and to this day I feel that it is money well spent. 

But if you want you can still have it your way! 

Twitter News Update

A new CEO will be taking the helm at Twitter, much to the surprise of many. Longtime media executive for NBC Universal, Linda Yaccarino, is stepping into the role shortly, where as described by Elon Musk, “She will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design and new technology.”  

Just like YouTube, ad revenue is at the top of the do-to list for a feasible fix, and Twitter needs this, by all accounts. You can read more about the new CEO selection for Twitter here.

It may (or may not) surprise you further to know that along with a well-respected media reputation and vast experience, Yaccarino is the Chairman of the WEF's Taskforce on the Future of Work and sits on the WEF's Media, Entertainment, and Culture Industry Governors Steering Committee.

LinkedIn Wants to Help You

Because LinkedIn is a Microsoft owned property, it probably makes sense that an AI component is now in the works to help you write LinkedIn posts. According to Social Media Today, Microsoft plans for generative AI integration across apps and software. 

Bard or Bing Chat?

While we are on the topic of AI, I have a question for you. Have you used Google Bard or Microsoft's Bing Chat yet? I'd love to know what you think about them or if you are interested in learning more. Hit reply and share your experience so we can have a little chat. 

I hope you find these latest updates useful and I look forward to catching up with you again next week for more tips and resources to help you in your digital endeavors. 

Stay beautiful,

Ms. Ileane
