    by Cindy King / June 16, 2012

    social media researchWelcome to our weekly edition of what’s hot in social media news. To help you stay up-to-date with social media, here are some of the news items that caught our attention.

    What’s New This Week?

    Facebook Integrates With WordPress: WordPress publishers can now “easily integrate Facebook features, such as social publishing and mentions, through the new Facebook for WordPress plugin.” Publishers can use  social plugins as WordPress widgets to share the Facebook Activity Feed, Recommendations, Comments Box and Customizable Like, Subscribe and Send buttons.

    "Once the plugin is installed, you can cross-post content published to WordPress to your Facebook Timeline and the Facebook Pages you manage. You can also mention the names of Pages and friends as you post to further distribute your content."

    Twitter Rolls Out Tailored Trends: “In order to show emerging topics that matter more to you,” Twitter is improving their algorithms to “tailor Trends based on your location and who you follow on Twitter.” This new feature will impact how marketers can use Twitter.

    If you don't wish to see tailored Trends, but instead want to see a more general list of Trends, just change your location on Twitter.com.

    Discussion From Our Networking Clubs: Thousands of social media marketers and small business owners are asking questions and helping others in our free Networking Clubs. Here are a few interesting discussions worth highlighting:

    • What kind of traffic is Pinterest driving to your site?
