Worldwide interest in ‘Threads’ according to Google Trends
Hanging by a thread? Interest in Instagram’s new app Threads seems to be waning according to Google Trends, despite amassing a record-breaking 100 million users in 5 days.
Or is it? Instagram boss Adam Moserri said they’re rolling out a host of new features for Threads such as an edit feature, and a separate feed for accounts you follow.

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are all the rage for productivity nerds, but tech giants like Apple, Spotify, Verizon, and Samsung aren’t the biggest fans when it comes to using these tools at work.
And they might have a point. Companies are afraid of a potentially catastrophic scenario where an employee unwittingly uploads valuable or sensitive information into ChatGPT — like code for their product or notes from a board meeting.
To cater to these privacy issues, OpenAI has provided private mode features to prevent sensitive data training. But businesses remain skeptical for the time being.
While some companies are banning AI tools outright, others are adopting guidelines for acceptable use. And experts forecast that many companies will eventually integrate generative AI into their operations, as they come into competition with startups built on these tools.

AI TUTORIAL
How to generate high-impact copy using ChatGPT
Even the best copywriters rely on proven, science-backed formulas, not magical talent. Use these secret recipes in your ChatGPT prompts to generate high-impact copy.
Try the prompt below:
I am selling [insert product/ service]
I need to write [explain what you need to write copy for]
Use the PAS formula to write it:
Step 1 (Problem): Lay out the reader’s problem
Step 2 (Agitate): Intensify their issue, delve deeper into what irks or agitate them.
Step 3 (Solution): Step in with the solution. Present your product as the perfect antidote to their frustration, demonstrating how.
Here’s the result:
