GU Live Lunch – Ep 154

Join the team for your weekly dose of social media news, find out what we’ve been up to, and what we’ve got to look forward to!

08:56 – Google’s implementing its own blue checkmark system, with Gmail users now set to see new blue ticks appearing next to approved brand profiles in their inbox – of course, this comes with a cost!

17:43 – YouTube launched a new experiment that would block ad blocking apps that are active in the browser.

21:20 – LinkedIn is testing an AI update assistant that will prompt you to share your ideas with the system to then get a suggested first draft of a post.

29:31 – Twitter is testing a new ‘highlights’ tab on profiles to show your best tweets. Users will see the additional tab soon – we don’t know when the full roll out will be, but it looks like it’s coming very, very soon!

See you next week!
