A peak at social media. Oh My Goodness. The Facebook Timeline of Social Commerce [Infographic] Selling on Facebook works—for some.

Penney Co. Inc. and Gap Inc. have shuttered their Facebook storefronts. But many smaller retailers’ Facebook stores are prospering, according to a new data from social commerce vendors Ecwid Inc. and Payvment. That might explain why 16% of retailers enable shoppers to buy directly on Facebook, according to the E-Tailing Group’s 14th Annual Mystery Shopping Study. Ecwid says that the average revenue of the roughly 35,000 Facebook storefronts it powers increased about 40% in 2011 compared with 2010. “F-commerce is not only alive and well, it is growing,” says Ruslan Fazlyev, CEO and founder of Ecwid, using the marketing term for Facebook commerce. The challenge, for small- and medium-sized businesses, is getting shoppers to find their stores on the social network. Yahoo Meme Is Closing Down in May. Yahoo Meme, a Twitter-like service that was a failed attempt to get Yahoo into social, is closing down on May 25th according to a “meme” on the site itself.
Specifically, the site allowed users to share pictures, videos and status updates with friends. They also emphasized the sharing of music as MP3 files — this made the site something of a Twitter-MySpace fusion. The site first debuted in May of 2009, and was launched first for just the Portuguese market. Why Facebook commerce is alive and well.

Congressman Uses Facebook To Air Travelers’ Gripes. Republican Congressman Darrell Issa of California gave travelers a chance to air their complaints against the Transportation Security Administration using stories posted to Facebook. Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee, solicited travelers’ stories via Facebook, and TSA officials were in the uncomfortable position of having to respond to the complaints at a committee hearing Monday. While more than 350 comments were submitted directly to the pages of the committee and the Issa page over the weekend alone, four stories were selected and read aloud by the California congressman. Justin LoFranco, deputy director of digital strategies for the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said that on Friday, committee members each began posting to their own Facebook pages and the committee’s, asking for travelers’ complaints. LoFranco was pleased with the strong response on Facebook over a single weekend.

Pinterest, the hugely popular website that lets people share photos and images on a virtual pinboard, has had trouble brewing for a while over what some people say are frequent copyright violations that happen when users ‘pin’ photos on the site without permission.
But one woman recently discovered that the copyright issue at Pinterest is a little more complicated than that: Pinterest’s own rules of etiquette make it very difficult for regular people to use the site at all without being liable in the event of a copyright lawsuit. Kirsten Kowalski blew the whistle on this issue in a blog post that went viral late last month. Kowalski, who lives in Alpharetta, Georgia, is a triple-threat of sorts: A professional photographer at DDK Portraits, a corporate lawyer, and a passionate Pinterest user.
