Welcome 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 Adds Subscribe Feature to Personal Profiles: You can now allow people to subscribe to your updates on your Facebook personal profile (think Twitter follow). This gives your friends control over what they see from you. People who are not your friends can also subscribe (subscribers only see things you share publicly). When people subscribe, they can filter the types of updates they want to follow.
Facebook’s Smart Lists Help You Manage Your Friends:Â The new Smart Lists make it easier to manage your Friends lists. These Smart Lists are created and updated automatically based on the profile information your friends have in common with you, such as your work, school, family and city. And you can also add or remove friends manually to make the lists even more accurate.
Facebook Lets You Manage Close Friends And Acquaintances: In addition to the Smart List feature mentioned above, you all have two new lists: Close Friends and Acquaintances. When you add people to your new Close Friends list their updates appear more frequently in your news stream. And only major updates from people in your Acquaintance list will show up in your news stream.
Facebook Reveals Who Shares Your Updates: There’s now a “View all shares” link for Facebook updates on Facebook Pages.  This link is visible on all Facebook pages for anyone to see who shares updates.
Google Rolls Out +Snippets on Google Maps: Google launches +Snippets for users and publishers, making it easy to visit a web page and then share it on Google+. +Snippets is now available with Google Maps and will roll out on other Google products soon. With +Snippets, Google+ users can easily share directions or places (for example) with fellow travelers.
Google +Snippets Add Social Sharing Options for Publishers: With the new Google +Snippets feature mentioned above, you can add extra +Snippet code to the Google +1 button code on your websites so that when readers +1 your page, an update will also be published in their feed.

Twitter Introduces Web Analytics: The new Twitter Web Analytics tool helps website owners understand how much traffic they receive from Twitter and the effectiveness of Twitter integrations on their sites. “The Twitter Web Analytics panel shows how content is shared across Twitter, how much traffic Twitter refers and how much engagement a site generates with the integrated tweet button.”
