Artifact Introduces Links Feature

Artifact

Artifact, a relatively new app created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, the co-founders of Instagram, has introduced a new Links feature. This allows users to share URLs to various types of content including articles, videos, recipes, and more, along with captions or photos, all within a dedicated Links tab. These links are showcased in a visually-oriented and personalized "For You" feed driven by AI.

User profiles have been redesigned to include the links they share, along with their comments, followers, and those they follow.

Why it Matters: Artifact's latest updates expand its capabilities beyond articles, bringing it closer to the social magazine platform Flipboard With the ability for users to share various types of content, such as articles, videos, photos, and more, Artifact presents new opportunities for creators and journalists to distribute their own work, such as blog posts, newsletters, or YouTube videos, and expand their audience reach as well as provide a home for curators.
