  1. The Secret To Marketing Success On Facebook? Advertise Like Your Grandfather

  2. If you’ve read the book, “The Thank You Economy” by Gary Vaynerchuk, then you are familiar with this new thought. The new way is the old way. It’s about connecting with your audience. Speaking directly to their needs and in a short bite giving them what they want. This article breaks it down beautifully what works and what doesn’t work for your Facebook ads. Hear directly from Sean Burich, head of measurement at Facebook.

  3. Google+ announces “Events” feature that is active before, during and after your party

  4. This is pretty exciting for both on and off line events. It’s a way of including all participants of your event in the collection of photos, information, and more. I’ve been a part of events where we were put into a Facebook group beforehand so we could get to know each other, however Google+ Events takes it to a completely different level.

  5. Twitter & LinkedIn Break Up, Disabling Automatic Posting of Tweets

  6. You may wonder why your tweets are no longer being posted on LinkedIn from Hootsuite or any other third party system for Twitter. This is why. LinkedIn and Twitter have disconnected the plug that allowed Twitter to directly communicate with LinkedIn. Instead you’ll have to actually log into your LinkedIn account to post status updates. You can however still send your status updates from within LinkedIn to Twitter.

We’d love the opportunity to serve you with your social media content management. Having a virtual team handle the task of scheduling your regular updates is invaluable, especially during the summer. Please visit Social Media Services.
It would be an honor to serve you!
