Social Mind: Social and AI Insights

Welcome to Monday's update and today's social media news 🙌

A dramatic weekend for Twitter, with multiple users struggling to access the site and Elon Musk taking the decision to restrict users time on it. It's a decision that has managed to annoy both users and advertisers. Twitter has become the first social network in history that wants users to spend less rather than more time on it.

Read on for the rest of the weekend's and today's news and updates.

Have a good week!

AI suggested 'Post ideas' now on LinkedIn Pages 🤖

I spotted over the weekend that LinkedIn is now using generative AI to suggest posts on Company Pages.

Suggested post ideas were available for LinkedIn Profiles, although perhaps these have been withdrawn, as I don't have them on my Profile now.

New features

Groups coming to Instagram 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Meta is testing the ability to create a Group profile and share photos, reels, and more with the group members.

There will be an option to have an administrator, just like it is possible on Facebook Groups. The feature is still being tested and rolled out in phases.

Create a song with music just by humming - TikTok-owner ByteDance debuts Ripple music creation app 🎶

ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has launched a new music creation app called Ripple. Currently in closed beta testing and only available in the US, Ripple is designed to assist creators in composing and editing music for their content. The app functions similarly to portable smart digital audio workstations (DAWs) and is particularly useful for beginners or those who prefer not to deal with more complex systems.

Ripple allows users to hum a melody into their phone, which the app then uses to generate instrumentals in various genres, such as drums, bass, and piano. The length of the generated song matches the length of the input melody. However, Ripple can only generate instrumental music, leaving the vocal work to the creators.

The AI model used by Ripple was trained on music owned by ByteDance and music licensed to the company. The company has stated its commitment to respecting the rights of its artists and rightsholder partners. Currently, Ripple is invite-only, with no further rollout plans announced yet.

Those interested can visit Ripple.club to find a download link for the iOS app and request an invite.
