Launched back in March 2010, Pinterest is a social bookmarking site that allows users to create an online pin board of all the things they like, that can then be organised and shared. In the run up to Christmas a number of large apparel brands saw Pinterest appear in their 5 five social referrers in their analytics.
Facebook has been rolling out a number of updates recently that impacts both users and brands. One aspect that has just been launched is a major overhaul to the Facebook Insights feature on pages that provides greater emphasis on how users are interacting with content created by the page rather than just the number of likes a page received.
If imitation is the best form of flattery then Google+ must be feeling pretty happy about Facebook’s latest update, Lists, yet somehow I doubt Google will be less than delighted to see this new functionality. Quick on the heals of last week’s top nav and “Like” updates Facebook have now release their Lists feature that allows users to chose which of their friends are able to see certain updates/posts and also filter their news feed by the same Lists, which is almost a carbon copy of Google+’s Circles.
Time after time I log into Facebook and notice something different and it’s usually quite obvious. Before today the most recent change was the introduction of the chat bar down the right hand side of the browser. This morning it happened again but this time it was something more subtle.
We love nothing more than creating fun, interactive solutions that fulfil the client’s request then go beyond what they expect. Pig-A-Pult is KMP Digitata’s and Manchester Aiport’s latest adventure into the exciting world of social media.
