Facebook Changes Like Buttons: This Week in Social Media
What’s New This Week?
Facebook Introduces New Like and Share Buttons: Facebook has “a new design for both Like and Share to help people share more great content across the web. If you are currently using the old Like button, you’ll be automatically upgraded to the new design as part of their rollout.”
Facebook has “made it easy for you to include the Like and Share buttons side by side and the Share button by itself.”
YouTube Starts New Comments Powered by Google+: Now “when you’re watching a video on YouTube, you’ll see comments sorted by people you care about first. If you post videos on your channel, you also have more tools to moderate welcome and unwelcome conversations.”
Google Analytics Adds New Speed Suggestion Report: Google Analytics is launching the new Speed Suggestions report in their “suite of website performance reports.”
“Not only can you measure and visualize the performance of your website, but you can now also speed up the slowest pages with concrete and actionable suggestions.”
Google+ Rolls Out Restricted Communities: Google+ is “adding an extra layer of security by rolling out restricted communities that only users in your organization can join.”
You can decide if your restricted community will be open to everyone at your company or private, joinable by invitation only.”
Groupon Launches Redesigned Website: The “new site and mobile app make it easier and more rewarding for customers to check Groupon first when they want to buy just about anything, anytime, anywhere.”
“It’s simple for you to search and browse tens of thousands of offers to find the exact deal you want, when you want it.”
Google Introduces Helpouts: “A new way to get and give help over live video.” The goal is simple: to help people help each other. With helpouts, you can choose whom you get help from based on qualifications, availability, price, ratings and reviews. You can connect instantly or book in advance.
