Greetings, all! Have you ever wanted to upload custom thumbnail images to your TikTok videos? Well, now you can!

The bulk of our updates today come from Meta, and involve, you guessed it, AI. 

First up, celebrity-voiced chatbots are coming. Not only that, but a customizable AI bot. This character-creation process will allow users to build profiles for their own AI characters, that users can then interact with and ask questions. 

Another cool thing: these customizable bot options include making an AI bot of yourself! 👀

And, in case you missed it, Meta has removed detailed targeting exclusions for ad campaigns. 

Next, Threads has added some new topic discovery options in a blue label that appears above posts, highlighting topics for further engagement. 

And last but not least, LinkedIn has added a verification option for Company Pages. To get verified, the criteria includes: accuracy of certain data points on the Page (example: location, website URL), active Page admin presence, the page is claimed (not a Listing Page), and compliance with LinkedIn policies. You can find more information on that here!
