In Poynter’s recent blog titled “Facebook is testing products to connect it’s users to local news”, they explain the latest installment of features offered by Facebook. These new testing products are designed to help continue to push and promote local happenings for users to keep them up to date on what is happening in their own neighborhoods.

Instagram’s recent blog post “New Objectives Now Available in on Ads in Stories”, covers why they decided to change direction from only focusing on reach and targeting in their new advertising offerings. Now ads are capable of incorporating Traffic, Video news, Conversions, and Mobile App Installs.

In Adweek’s recent update for Twitter titled, “Twitter Adds 9 Million New Users in 3 Months, Surpassing Q1 Estimates” it appears that even though this social giant was on the decline in popularity, it is now making a BIG comeback. This is great news for Twitter, and its loyal fan base, but what does it mean for the rest of 2017? Good question.

Pinterest has revamped their business profiles and they are beautiful. In their recent announcement, “Your Big, Beautiful New Showcase”, they released the details and explained the benefits of these new changes . Not only are business profiles more user friendly for customers, but they also allow the business owner to customize what is showcased and inform users of deals and sales. Just another way this platform is capitalizing on the popularity of purchasing products through the site.
