This week in social media, Facebook introduced two new products in its continued quest for dominance in everything. Pinterest added "Guided Search" (a very Pinteresty search engine), Instagram's Explore page is now more personalized, and Facebook's $19 billion buddy, WhatsApp, reached half a billion users. It's time for Social Media Saturday!
Facebook has made a couple of big moves in the past year, the first towards a multi-app mobile presence, and the second towards becoming more of a news source. While the multi-app strategy has garnered a lot of attention recently, the company is still going forward with plans to make, and break, more news, announcing on Thursday FB Newswire, a new platform for newsrooms.
