SumAll, a marketing analytics service, has released a year-end report comparing Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. They found Instagram to be the most effective social network for businesses. This is based on growth in subscribers, level of engagement, and increases in revenue.
Facebook has now rolled out the redesigned like and share buttons to everyone. The social network has reported a five percent increase in likes and shares since these buttons first started appearing on websites. Another new feature allows Page admins on the desktop version to adjust how wide an embedded post appears on websites.
A new feature will allow Facebook users to remain friends with someone but keep their updates from showing up in the News Feed. In the coming weeks, desktop users will see an unfollow button in place of the “Hide All” option. It will then be available to iPhone and Android users in the coming months.
Facebook is changing its News Feed algorithm after determining that people enjoy reading articles on the social networking site. This change will allow more articles to surface based on the number of clicks received on mobile devises. Users will also see more articles with comments from friends.
Instagram Direct is a new feature that allows users to share photos and videos privately instead of with all of their followers. Up to 15 friends can be selected to share a message with by using the new direct button on the share screen. Check out this post with a fun little video to learn more about how it works.
