I am sure all of you out there are awaiting the latest updates from the world of social media and here I am to conjure up the killer stories that caught much of attention, appreciation, while some were brushed off as mere rumours. Let us plunge deeper into the facts that might emerge as trendsetters of the year 2015:
Twitter:
Being a microblogging site, Twitter has always managed to stand out and grab attention among the other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Google +. In its attempt to lure new visitors and entertain the existing ones, it has again come up with a brand new exciting feature in the form of a WordPress plugin.
The speciality of this first official plugin feature is that it can multitask activities usually obtained through third party apps and these includes the ability to embed tweets and videos uploaded to Twitter directly.
There was a huge hue and cry raised by the general public regarding the bullying and trolling over the site which was difficult to handle and was sometimes crossing limits. Twitter decided to put an end to this kind of online molestation through certain tools which also extend to users who are witnesses to these kind of harassments over Twitter.
Now, there is some good news for Small Business Modules that are struggling to get some brand visibility as Twitter has launched the tool “Quick Promote” which supports the quick and easier promotion of a tweet.
Google+:
Again Google is not new to withdrawing services that has not faired well with the people and here it has already announced its decision to bring an end to the Helpouts feature by April 20th, 2015. The feature was developed with an aim to help people to seek assistance from experts who can ponder them with new information or provide them with potential advice. For the followers of Helpouts, you do not have to worry as the services can be accessed through Google+ hangouts.
LinkedIn:
LinkedIn created quite a cool response with an awesome ad product, LinkedIn Network Display which aims at promoting ads to users on websites other than those on LinkedIn network. In short, you can buy ads from LinkedIn Network Display to appease customers on other sites.
Pinterest:
Pinterest shot up with facilities allowing users to access pins featuring links containing redirects, pin trackers or affiliates that were discarded.
Now Pinterest is working on improving its Buy button that will allow users to make purchases over the same network without taking the effort to migrate away from the network.
Snapchat:
Snapchat has come up with the new discover feature that allows users to discover and explore the content or stories from different editorial teams. The feature supports the storytelling format that puts the narration at the beginning.
Last but not the least let us check out how the social media giant, “Facebook” is going to explode with its magical exponents for the year 2015-
Facebook:
Facebook has come up with an awesome feature that tends to keep a deceased person’s profile alive even when their soul rests in peace. This can be done by choosing an alternate manager for your profile who can deal with your account long after you’re gone through a legacy contract which instills the person with limited access to your profile.
A new tool has been designed to check the quality of your ads prior to posting it, which will rate your ad popularity out of 10 and this feedback will help you to decide how well your ad will become a hit.
Product Ads a new venture from Facebook focuses on advertising multiple products simultaneously or facilitating the users to view an entire catalog of products all at once.
