A lot happened this week in the world of social media. Pinterest started testing GIFs, Princeton declared that Facebook would die in three years, Facebook released a clever rejoinder, Instagram was revealed to be the fastest-growing social media platform on the planet, and Google+ went down, along with Gmail services, but hardly anyone noticed. Let's dive into Social Media Saturday!
Facebook has fired back at a Princeton University study predicting the social media giant will die by 2017 in the snarkiest (i.e., best) way possible - by creating its own study that says Princeton University will die out by 2021, along with the world. The tongue-in-cheek reply from Facebook pokes fun at the idea that the every "scientific" study is created equal.
