Meta is continuously adding new and cool features to Threads and aiming to increase the user engagement. The latest one is displaying the Threads posts on Facebook as some of the users have noticed including the social media expert Matt Navarra. There is a carousel titled ‘For You on Threads’ is visible on Blue app in past day.

Similar tactic has been introduced for the Instagram users in August and Meta has yet to reveal whether this move has any impact on Threads’ engagement or not. A representative of Meta has mentioned that they are incorporating some new features into the app and facilitate easy access to latest content from Threads directly on Facebook. Just recently, Threads introduced an edit button and streamlined the process of switching between the accounts.

The platform often draws comparisons to X’s offerings which needs $8 monthly fee for premium subscription with some added benefits like the edit button. Recently, X began experimenting with charging a $1 annual fee for new accounts in certain regions to combat spam and bots.

Threads offers its features for free, but there are limitations. Not all news sources post the latest news on Threads, so it can be difficult to keep up with news on the platform. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri emphasized that the social network does not prioritize news content. Mosseri also announced that search blocks related to “Covid” and similar terms will be removed.

With a new feature in Google Search meant to help users practice and advance their English-speaking abilities, Google is taking aim at Duolingo. The new feature will offer interactive speaking practice for language learners translating to or from English, Google writes in a blog post. It will roll out over the coming days for Search on Android devices in Argentina, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Venezuela, with more countries and languages to come in the future.

Google Research director Christian Plagemann and product manager Katya Cox are credited with writing the post, which states that “Google Search is already a valuable tool for language learners, providing translations, definitions, and other resources to improve vocabulary.”. “A new English speaking practice experience with personalized feedback is now available to learners translating into or out of English on their Android phones. “. The brand-new feature asks users of Search to respond to questions by speaking them aloud while using a vocabulary word that has been provided. Search provides personalized feedback during each practice session, which lasts 3 to 5 minutes. Users also have the option to sign up for daily reminders to continue practicing and move on to the next stage of difficulty.

Google claims that the experience provides semantic feedback, letting users know whether or not their answers were pertinent to a particular query and understandable to a fictitious conversation partner. Additionally, it makes suggestions for areas where grammar could be strengthened and offers a number of sample responses at various linguistic complexity levels to provide specific suggestions for alternative ways to respond. Learners can tap on any word they don’t understand during practice sessions to see a translation that takes the word’s context into account.

To create the Search language tutoring experience, Google claims to have enlisted “linguists, teachers, and ESL/EFL pedagogical experts,” resulting in a mixture of human-expert content (e. g. Along with content produced with AI assistance and internal “human review,” prompts, “focus” words, and example answers are also provided. “.

Google claims that additional, unidentified language learning partners also took part, helping to surface content they are developing with students. Google also has future plans to expand the program to include more partners. Plagemann and Cox continued, “We anticipate future growth to include more locales and tongues, as well as launching partner practice content soon. “These most recent updates, which will be implemented over the next few days, have made Google Search even more useful. One wonders what Google’s ultimate goal is in rolling out the new AI-powered language learning experience for Search. Undoubtedly, it will increase engagement, or it might, in theory. Does it, however, intend to pave the way for a genuine rival to Duolingo, Memrise, and Babbel-style language learning apps?

It’s important to note that Google has experimented with language learning and education tools before, so this is nothing new. The tech giant unveiled a module in 2019 that provided real-time feedback on the page while letting Search users practice proper word pronunciation. It will be interesting to see which direction Google takes its current and past efforts, whether focused on generating profits or not. or places where it doesn’t. Between the company’s previous and new set of language learning tools’ public debuts, years passed without a sound. Google is this time committing to immediate and rapid expansion. Plans for growth, however, will probably depend on how well (or poorly) the service is received, as with everything else.

The AI-powered Google search feature known as SGE (Search Generative Experience) has some new tricks up its sleeve. Like its rival Bing’s DALLE-E 3, it can now produce images based on your requests. Additionally, you can use it to write rough drafts while modifying the text’s length and tone.

SGE has been quickly acquiring new skills lately. It can help with coding, term definitions, and text summaries. It is currently applying its knowledge to improved writing abilities and image generation. You can describe the image you want using the new image creation tool, and SGE will present you with four options. These images are available for download as . png files, or you can change your original request to obtain a new set of images. Given that AI image generation has raised concerns about inappropriate content, Google is taking precautions to ensure responsible use of this technology. To stop harmful or deceptive content as well as false information, it has put in place strict filters. Despite SGE being accessible to teenagers aged 13 to 17 in the U., the feature is only available to users 18 and older due to these worries. S.

Recognizing the potential for abuse, Google is making the tool opt-in and including a feedback system for users to report any issues. In order to distinguish the generated images as AI-produced, SynthID has also added metadata and watermarking. SGE is now able to help with writing assignments as well, providing various text lengths and styles to meet a variety of needs. There will be export options for the writing and image creation features to Google Drive and Google Workspace apps, respectively.

Over the coming weeks, these updates will gradually become available to a larger user base after initially being made available to a smaller group of SGE users. even though it is only available in English in the U.S. S. SGE’s influence should soon spread to additional areas.
