    This Week in Social Media: The News You Need to Know

    by Cindy King / December 11, 2010

    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 User Profiles Change: The new Facebook design collects more information from users (i.e., employer, languages, and location).  This should make it easier to use Facebook for business networking. To help you implement these changes, you should read this article.

    You now have to navigate through the sidebar to see the bio information in this new layout.

    Watch SlideShare and More on Twitter: When the new Twitter interface launched earlier this year, users could view YouTube videos, photos and other media in the links shared in tweets.  Twitter has just extended the list of media supported and you can now watch entire SlideShare presentations from your Twitter interface, as well as other media files from blip.tv, Instagram, Rdio and Dipdive.

    Now you can view links to SlideShare presentations in the right-hand column of the new Twitter.

    Gowalla Embraces Facebook and Foursquare Check-ins: Gowalla joins its bigger location-based rivals by supporting check-ins on both Facebook Places and Foursquare. They also support updates to Twitter and Tumblr.  Gowalla has also recently announced their partnership with the Sundance Film Festival.
