O ecossistema de marcas, as âncoras cinéticas e o elenco da semana de estreia criaram um modelo em que a própria loja se torna o motor de conteúdo.

Instagram Is Quietly Re-Wiring Discovery Around Recommendations, Not “Following”

Instagram is shifting discovery from Following to algorithmic recommendations and DMs — here’s what changed and how to adapt.

Adam Mosseri has made it explicit: Instagram will lean even harder into algorithmic recommendations and away from your Following graph, with discovery increasingly happening in DMs and small groups.

'You Shall Not Pass!' Cloudflare Pushes Back Against Unrequested AI Crawling

Cloudflare just put a tollbooth on the open web for AI crawlers—shifting from assumed consent to explicit permission and, in some cases, payment. Here’s what changed, why it matters, and how brands and publishers can adapt.

Behind the headlines is a larger reset: AI answers are re-intermediating discovery, compressing referral traffic in classic search. This article explains the technical changes, competing claims about traffic impact, economic implications for publishers and creators, and a pragmatic playbook to stay visible—owning distribution while optimizing for both humans and machines.

Is Bluesky the New Twitter? Why the Social Media Landscape Is Splintering in 2025

Twitter is gone; long live the social web. Bluesky’s niche buzz, Musk’s riot-driven sign-ups, and a post-Twitter world where diverging platforms might just be the new normal.

Launched by Jack Dorsey in 2019 and now steered by CEO Jay Graber, Bluesky has topped 34.6 million registered users as of May 2025—yet remains a sliver next to X’s 350 million actives . After Elon Musk’s comments on UK riots, Bluesky saw a 60 % sign-up spike last August . Favored by journalists seeking ad-free, chronological discussions . Bluesky underscores a larger shift: the end of one-size-fits-all platforms and the rise of specialized social ecosystems.

Google Launches Vids, Sora in ChatGPT: Are AI Avatar Startups Dead?

Google Launches Vids, Sora in ChatGPT: Are AI Avatar Startups Dead?

Google Vids feels like a 2000s flashback with its cringe OneNote-style UI and unclear purpose; Sora lands smoother but can’t dethrone dedicated tools.

Announced at Google I/O in April 2024, Vids brings Gemini-powered AI video to Workspace Labs but sports a cringe “2000s Flash” UI and unclear use case beyond Slides presentations—realistic output, utility lacking . Sora arrived in December 2024 for ChatGPT Plus & Pro, offering smoother 20-second, 1080p clips with warmer reception, though it trails the recent Ghibli-style AI-image frenzy . Looking ahead to 2026, expect Google to keep bolting on suite features, OpenAI to iterate rapidly, and startups with focused offerings to lead a messy, vibrant AI video market.

Instagram Edits Reality Check: The Odds, the Rivals, and the 2026 Showdown

Instagram Edits Reality Check: The Odds, the Rivals, and the 2026 Showdown

Instagram Edits racked up 7.1 M downloads in week one—but for a 2.1 B-user giant, that’s barely a ripple. Here’s why the real action is in the AI arena, with CapCut, OpusClip, Captions, Blaze AI, and Rkive AI circling like contenders in a 2026 prize fight.

When Instagram dropped Edits on April 22, 2025, it rocketed to #1 on the App Store with 7.1 M downloads in seven days—yet that’s just 0.34% of Instagram’s 2.1 B MAUs, a modest splash for Meta’s flagship platform . Free and watermark-free, Edits still lacks templates, advanced effects, and mature AI tools that CapCut masters, and trails specialized rivals like OpusClip ($20 M funding), Captions (10 M+ installs), Blaze AI (static-visual automation), and internal frontrunner Rkive AI (true end-to-feed workflows) . Mosseri has teased future AI upgrades, but no concrete Llama roadmap exists beyond general plans for “intelligent features” . Buckle up: 2026 promises a battle royale of price cuts, acquisitions, funding deluges, and feature arms races—good news for creators and brands craving more choice, lower costs, and genuinely functional editing solutions.
