The social media landscape is changing rapidly, with new platforms emerging and old ones evolving. One of the biggest trends is the rise of decentralized social networks, which are designed to be more open and democratic than traditional platforms. Bluesky, a decentralized social media app, is one of the most promising examples of this trend.
In addition to the rise of decentralized social networks, Google AI is also playing a major role in the future of social media. Google Bard, an AI chatbot, can now watch YouTube videos and interpret their content. This opens up the possibility of using AI to create more personalized and engaging social media experiences.
Other notable developments in the social media space include the use of hashtags on Threads, Google's AI-powered search expanding its features and availability, and the launch of an app that wants reading to be a social experience.
Overall, the future of social media is bright and exciting. With the rise of decentralized social networks, AI-powered tools, and new platforms, there are more ways than ever to connect with others and share your thoughts and ideas.
