| Revolutions in Facebook Reach | | 21 December 2012, 10:30AM |  Recently I took part in the Open Graph panel at the AllFacebook Conference, and found myself sitting next to Jon Morter, the guy that runs the Condescending Corporate Brand Page on Facebook.

| | | | | | | Is Foursquare finally growing up? What 2013 holds for the geo-location service | | 20 December 2012, 11:30AM |  I’ve been a keen Foursquare user pretty much since the start in 2009. Like many, the idea of gaining badges and mayorships became very addictive but the novelty soon wore off and led to many people questioning the real benefits of the service. There are only approximately 193,000 users in the U.K, significantly less, proportionately, than countries like the US which has over 10 million users. Having said all of that, Foursquare has had a busy 2012 and has shown some signs of 'growing up', not only as a service but as a company too.

| | | | Instagram changes spark anger, as company has to clarify position | | 19 December 2012, 12:17PM |  Nothing sparks backlash against a social media service quite like a Terms Of Service (TOS) change. Users who have already willingly given up their privacy to sign up to the services in the first place, suddenly get annoyed when companies push a little bit harder.
| | | | | | | Why traditional brands must learn new tricks for social media analysis | | 19 December 2012, 10:30AM |  The benefits of social media to business strategists and marketers, whether financial or cultural, have not always been clear. But with social media now the single largest source of unsolicited consumer opinions, these strategists must find new, innovative ways to analyse and monitor the opinions, perspectives and sentiments in each tweet, post, comment, and status update.
