Oh, How Pinteresting!: Did You Already Pin This? Now You’ll Know!:

Pinterest has a new feature that tells you if you’ve already pinned something before you repin it again. Finally!!

We’ve been hearing that you’d like to know when you try to pin something you’ve already pinned. We’re happy to oblige when we can, so we’ve built a new feature that does just that.

When you pin something you’ve already pinned before, you’ll get a message. You can still pin the image if you’d…

Pinterest is a powerful tool for social promotions. Yet as of October 2012, 71% of businesses were not on the social network. Pinterest users spend more money, more often on more items than any other of the top 5 social platforms.

3.26.13 | Facebook Newsfeed Changes

susieoz — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:03:00 -0500

Earlier this month, Facebook unveiled the biggest change to Newsfeed since the feature launched almost seven years ago. Three major updates were highlighted: more feeds and control, larger photos, and mobile consistency. The changes are being rolled-out gradually, so you may already be experiencing the differences. I’ve outlined the biggest changes below.

More Feeds and Control
Users will have the option of choosing between different content-specific feeds. There’s a Pages-only feed, called “Following” that will show all the updates from the Pages they like. This could help or hurt business pages, depending on how often a user frequents this feed. On the bright side, people can now see ALL of your content if they visit this feed. Before, people who liked your Page would only see the best of your updates due to the way Facebook filters the default Newsfeed.
Larger Photos
During the announcement, CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared how almost 50% of the Newsfeed content is composed of photos and visual content. Photos will become bigger, which is no surprise, but so will ads that are featured inside the Newsfeed.
Mobile Consistency
With an estimated 195 million people using Facebook on the iPhone and iPad alone, it’s no surprise that the design changes are “mobile-inspired”. The design will be consistent across all devices – web, tablet, or smartphone. So, no matter what device you’re using, the experience will be the same.
What This Means For Businesses
Users have more choice now. If they want to see content from you, it’s easier for them. If they don’t, they won’t. While you may not like the sound of that, the update should get people browsing longer and improve the Facebook experience overall. That means there’ll be more chances to market to users each day, and for years to come.

Graphics from Pinterest (just make sure you give credit to the creator)
