Instagram Tests New Feature for Displaying Public 'Collections' on User
Profiles
It has been reported that Instagram is currently working on
expanding its Collections feature, which will allow users to create
collections of posts on their profiles. This new feature is expected to
offer insights into users' interests and enable them to showcase their
interests such as celebrities, books, or movies to potential followers.
If implemented correctly, this feature could provide a new way for
like-minded users to connect and for brands to showcase their
products.
Sources have revealed that Instagram has been
developing this feature since September, but it is still not clear how
it will look or function. There are concerns that this feature may add
clutter to users' profiles, so it is important that it is implemented
properly.
Currently, there is no official release date for
this feature, but we can expect Instagram to announce it soon. Keep an
eye out for the latest updates on this exciting new addition to the
platform.
TikTok Plans to Increase its In-stream Commerce Investment by 10 Times
in 2024.
TikTok is making a renewed effort to boost its in-stream commerce
options in Western markets, with plans to increase its in-stream
commerce investment by 10 times in 2024. The platform is aiming to grow
its US e-commerce business tenfold to around $17.5 billion.
This push towards e-commerce is crucial for TikTok's revenue success and
for retaining top creators, but it faces challenges as Western consumers
have been less enthusiastic about in-stream shopping compared to their
Chinese counterparts. Despite this, there are signs of progress. TikTok
users in the US have been spending more within the app, with an increase
of 15% year-over-year, primarily on TikTok Coins for virtual gifts.
To enhance utility and potentially attract more shoppers, TikTok may
explore incorporating food delivery and local services, as well as
introducing its own versions of cost-effective products.
TikTok's push towards e-commerce is a significant move, as it solidifies
its business as a product discovery and shopping platform, especially
among young users. However, the platform may also face increased
scrutiny and lobbying efforts from competitors like Amazon if
successful.
It is still early to predict the success of TikTok's e-commerce push,
but the platform has the potential to become a major player in the
digital shopping space. By integrating more in-stream shopping options
and incorporating food delivery and local services, TikTok may be able
to attract more shoppers and compete with other e-commerce giants.

X Reports Over 750K Job Listings Available Through Its In-App Hiring
Feature
X has recently introduced a new feature that has the potential to
revolutionize the way we search for jobs. With over 750,000 job roles
now available for users to search, X Jobs is making it easier for job
seekers to find the perfect job for them.
This feature was
launched less than six months after the initial launch of X Jobs. X
offers this service as part of its Verification for Organizations
package, which costs $1,000 per month. Although initial adoption of this
package was limited, X gifted it to top ad partners, resulting in a
significant increase in job listings.
This move by X has the
potential to expand its business outreach opportunities, especially if
more companies use the feature. This could promote its Verification for
Business offering at a lower cost to SMBs. With the increasing number of
job opportunities on X Jobs, it is no wonder that job seekers are
flocking to this platform.
The platform's Verification for
Organizations package is a great way for companies to showcase their
businesses and advertise job opportunities. By using this feature,
companies can reach a wider audience, and job seekers can find the
perfect job for them.

Google has Started Phasing out Third-party Cookies and is Testing a New
Tool to Restrict them for 1% of Chrome Users Worldwide.
Google has recently announced a significant change in how it handles
third-party cookies, which has significant implications for digital
marketers. Third-party cookies are small pieces of data that websites
other than the one you're currently on use to track browsing history and
personalize ads. They are a crucial tool for digital marketers, allowing
them to target advertising to specific audiences.
However, Google has now begun phasing them out, introducing a feature
called Tracking Protection to restrict them for 1% of Chrome users
globally starting on January 4, 2024. This change is part of Google's
Privacy Sandbox initiative, which aims to improve user privacy while
still allowing for personalized advertising. However, it has raised
concerns among digital marketers who rely heavily on targeted
advertising through third-party cookies.
Google plans to completely retire third-party cookies in the latter half
of 2024, meaning that marketers need to prepare their websites for this
transition.
The impact of this tool rollout is still uncertain, but digital
marketers need to be aware of potential issues and work on solutions.
For example, without third-party cookies, marketers will need to find
new ways to track user behavior and personalize ads.
They will also need to find alternative ways to measure the
effectiveness of their campaigns. The change has also raised concerns
about competition, with the UK's Competition and Markets Authority
investigating Google's decision to remove third-party cookies.
The investigation aims to ensure that Google's decision does not
unfairly harm competition in the digital advertising market.
