New hack to find viral trends 🎉

Happy Tuesday! 

ICYMI: TikTok released its 2024 holiday marketing guide and I don’t know if I am actually ready to think about the holidays just yet. 😅

But if you’re interested and trying to get ahead, I suggest you click here.

Plus, Head of Instagram, that man Adam Mosseri, did his weekly Q&A and gave some top tips on improving your Instagram performance … and it doesn’t seem like any new advice if you ask me!

Now that I got those important facts out of the way, let’s dive into what the rest of social media had in store for us last week!

I can’t tell if I love this or hate this, so you must be the deciding factor for me:

TikTok is now letting users create AI simulations of their own voice in the app.

Creepy? Perhaps. But the main benefit? You can now voice over all of your TikTok clips with your own digital voice. Which … would be amazing for someone like me who messes up their voiceovers every single time.

Now, when you head to your voice-over options inside TikTok, you’ll see the option “Create Your Own AI Voice.”

Once selected, you can then speak into your device and TikTok will then create an AI version of your voice in seconds.

While part of me thinks this is cool, the other part of me is a bit worried as deepfakes and hoaxes become more and more part of our lives. 😬

How do you feel about it? Will you be using this feature in the future?

• Eeek! Meta is being sneaky and taking your data to train its AI and there’s nothing you can do about it.
  
  

• Who will get there first?! Meta and Snap are soon launching AI glasses.
  
  

• Wait, is this MySpace? You can now add your favorite song to your Instagram profile.
  
  

• Send me an invite via X? You soon could be saying that as a conference call feature is in the works.
  
  

• A sticker store?! Yes, you might be able to buy stickers on IG. Why? Who knows.
  
  

• Uh, oh. Here come the ads! Sponsored labels are soon coming to Threads.
  
  

• This can’t be good … Spotify is officially becoming a social network.
  
  

• An IG feature I actually like? The mute button is soon coming to Reels.
  
  

• The countdown is on! Disappearing Threads have been spotted in the wild.
  
  

• LinkedIn is officially in on the short-form content game and has launched in-feed video carousels.
  
  

• Welp. X is starting to be banned in certain countries.

It’s finally here! After hinting that we would be getting Threads that lasted only 24 hours—the app finally dropped the feature.

While it’s still only in Beta testing mode, Meta is hoping the feature will encourage more engagement in the app.

How will it work? When you post an update in the app, you activate the 24 hours option and a countdown will be added next to your post to show when the Thread will disappear.

According to Meta, it helps provide more ways for users to feel less restricted in being able to speak. However, IMHO, the Internet does last forever, even when you activate a self destruction mode on a post. 😬

The top trending sounds and songs you need to use to go viral this week. 

🥲 Oh My Gosh: This is a fun and sweet audio to use when something absolutely amazes you. This audio is perfect for anyone to use—whether they want to show off something they have done that they are proud of or something that are amazed by. 

❤️ You Know Me: This trend plays on the idea of encapsulating one's personality and interests through a curated visual montage set to music. It's a great trend to show off your brand's personality and make people connect deeper with you.

🎉 Pat Yourself On The Back: This is a trend to congratulate yourself! Yes, you deserve it! The trend uses humor, showing relatable situations where a bit of self-congratulation is deserved.

🕐 Give Me A Second: This trend uses a comedic audio snippet from a song, specifically the lines "Give me a second, I need to get my story straight," to illustrate situations where someone might need a moment to fabricate an excuse, hide a secret, or compose themselves before answering a question.
