If you are interested in learning even more about Pinterest Web Analytics, this blog post includes the steps to get started using this new tool. It is only available to those who have a verified website listed on their Pinterest profile. Read on to find out what type of data is available to download.
Pinterest Web Analytics is a free tool that provides website owners with data on user activity. Now, businesses can see how many people have visited their site from Pinterest as well as information about pins that have originated from their site. This is part of the preparation to monetize this rapidly growing social network.
Be prepared for another change to the Timeline. Facebook has redesigned the layout so that status updates will remain in a single column on the right side with photos and other activity on the left. Along with this cleaner look there will be a dedicated section where users can add their interests in music, movies, books, and television shows.
Twitter users can now put line breaks in their tweets to spread the text over several different lines. This new feature works on both the website and the mobile app but is not supported with embedded tweets. It will be interesting to see how many users will stick with using a block of text and how many will take advantage of this opportunity to make their text stand out more.
The competition between Facebook and Twitter continues to heat up as Facebook plans to incorporate its own version of the hashtag. This will allow users to view posts associated with a specific theme or topic that is trending. This may also provide advertisers with another way to target people who are interested in specific subjects.
