Southern Today at Google I/O, several advancements to Search were unveiled for the first time. Two of the most significant updates to Search include integrating a "Perspectives" feature and applying generative AI to enhance search results. These enhancements aim to reshape how users discover information and deepen their understanding of topics. Dubbed the Search Generative Experience (SGE), Google's new generative AI feature is a new approach to search queries. This technology is designed to simplify complex search tasks and provide key information snapshots linked to deeper resources.

It is a site where users can share content, engage in discussions, and vote on the quality of content. One of the most important things to understand is that Reddit is divided into thousands of “subreddits,” each focused on a specific topic. These subreddits cover almost every topic imaginable – from technology and gaming to cooking and fashion – attracting people from all walks of life. Some advertisers might easily dismiss those requirements as too high of a barrier to entry. And that’s ok. However, advertisers looking to engage with a supremely passionate, demographically diverse audience will find them on Reddit. And with a little due diligence, these advertisers can create content that drives not just results, but the respect, appreciation and loyalty of valuable customers.

So, I came to the YouTube NewFront event on May 1 hoping to learn about YouTube's strategic direction. But most of what I heard – with a couple of notable exceptions – was a tactical discussion that left the impression that YouTube is very like TikTok. That made TikTok the elephant in the room. That's why I think the decision to showcase new ways to build awareness with Shorts to reach Gen Z was a strategic mistake.
