Secret Facebook Link Shows Old Version of News Feed [UPDATED] Killing Rumors With Facts: No, Facebook Didn’t Decrease Page Feed Reach To Sell More Promoted Posts. People have been screaming bloody murder, claiming Facebook purposefully reduced how many users see Page posts in the news feed to get Pages to pay to reach their fans.

Killing Rumors With Facts: No, Facebook Didn’t Decrease Page Feed Reach To Sell More Promoted Posts

But that’s just not true, and I have the data to prove it, plus Facebook on the record saying the rumor is false. Facebook did make spammy Pages less visible in the feed, but that was to make the news feed better, not to earn more money. I’m going to dive into exactly what’s going on here, but for those who want the quick takeaway to help them bust myths, here’s the short version: Facebook Pages have always only reached a small percentage of their fans with each post. The launch of Promoted Posts had no impact on the news feed reach of the average Page. The Rumor Alright, so what’s the big deal? Sadly, news outlets like Ars Technica that are typically level-headed covered the Dangerous Minds rant as true despite its lack of hard data to back up its anecdotal claim. The Facts So why is this untrue? What Actually Happened. Facebook, Yahoo Talk Search Partnership.

, has held discussions with Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, about how the two companies can work more closely together. The two internet giants have already collaborated together on a number of small projects, for example to share Yahoo! News on Facebook, and recently agreed to settle a number of long-standing lawsuits over patents. However, board members expect the talks to lead to much more substantial collaboration based around web-based search. Facebook has already said it plans to boost its web search facility, with founder Mark Zuckerberg noting that the social network is “pretty uniquely positioned to answer the questions people have”.

Announcing a New Pages Structure for Global Brands. Every month people from around the world engage with their favorite brands on Facebook.

Announcing a New Pages Structure for Global Brands

Today we're excited to announce Global Pages, a new structure that provides the best, localized experiences for a brand’s customers, available to all brands working with Facebook. With this new structure, Facebook users will be directed to the best version of a Page based on the country those users are in, enabling them to see localized cover photos, profile photos, Page apps, milestones, "about" information, and news feed stories from Pages—all while remaining part of the global brand community. Each brand's Global Pages structure will include local Pages for specific markets (single- or multi-country regions) and a default Page for all other markets.

Facebook global pages are not for ALL brands. Recently, Facebook announced the launch of “global pages”, a much-anticipated and welcome new way for brand pages to structure themselves.

Facebook global pages are not for ALL brands

They allow a centralised page to be used as an international hub, whilst also localising a user’s experience for the country they are in. Previously, there were only two brand page options: either a single page that used geo-targeted posts aimed at specific audiences or, secondly, a country-specific page. A single page using geo-targeted posts misses out on localising other parts of the page such as its cover photos, profile pictures and specific milestones that a local market may have. The country-specific pages suffer from a problem too. Comment Twitter peut s’imposer comme le leader du web social. Top 15 des raisons du désabonnement sur Twitter.

#Twitter Update: Benefits for Users and Brands

The changes affect the look and feel of profiles on twitter.com and the mobile apps for iPad, iPhone, and Android. As of yesterday, all Twitter users have the option of adding a very Facebook-esque header photo and better controls over their background photo. Enhancements also include the addition of the photo stream to the mobile app environment. [Breaking News] Twitter change d'interface!

Les informations proposées sont donc peut-être expirées. Alors qu’on attend avec impatience de voir ce que va donner la TimeLine Facebook dans un futur très proche, Twitter a décidé de prendre tout le monde de cours en annonçant et proposant une nouvelle interface pour Twitter.com et son application mobile. Mais ce n’est pas tout, puisque le réseau de micro-blogging annonce également la mise en place des pages de marques Twitter! Voilà qui devrait faire bouger pas mal de choses.

Facebook has a little-known feature called Friendship Pages that shows all the wall posts, updates, and photos you’re tagged in with someone.

See Everything You’ve Ever Shared With Someone On Facebook’s Redesigned Friendship Pages

Today it’s getting a redesign, and Facebook is launching the facebook.com/us quick link for couples to see their Friendship Pages. The previous design was stuck on the ugly, old profile format, but now they look like a shared Timeline. You can check out your Friendship Page with someone by going to their profile, clicking the gear icon on the right, and selecting “See Friendship.” There you can browse your mutual friends and Likes, the photos you’re tagged in together, and see a Timeline of all the posts you’re in together.

Facebook Makes Big Push To Educate New Users On Privacy, Adds In-Line Controls To Sign-up Flow. If new Facebook users understand their privacy on the site, they’ll trust Facebook more and share more too.

Facebook Makes Big Push To Educate New Users On Privacy, Adds In-Line Controls To Sign-up Flow

So Facebook has just made privacy education a central part of the sign-up flow. New users are taught about their default controls, how to limit the audience of their posts, and how ads and apps work. Facebook also added in-line privacy controls so users can customize their settings right from the start. Without this new tutorial and the addition of in-line controls, rookie Facebookers would have to dig through privacy documentation and uncover controls buried in the site’s setting pages. They might’ve never done that, and then been alarmed to know Facebook uses their data to target ads, or that people could do a reverse look-up on them through their phone number.

Facebook partners with retailers to test want button. Facebook expands ‘promoted posts’ test for users’ personal updates. Facebook expands ‘promoted posts’ test for users’ personal updates Facebook today announced that it will expand its test that allows users to pay to promote their personal posts at the top of friends’ feeds. The test was first conducted in New Zealand in May and began to roll out to some users in 20 other countries last month. Today it will begin to appear for U.S. users with fewer than 5,000 friends and subscribers.

Originally called “highlight,” Facebook is now calling this option “promote,” which is what it also calls an advertising feature for business and fan pages. Facebook teste les statuts payants. Facebook's New Job Board Puts LinkedIn on Notice. Watch out, LinkedIn. Facebook launched a new Social Jobs application on Wednesday in partnership with the Department of Labor and several leading career websites, including Monster.com, BranchOut and Jobvite. The job board is intended to "leverage social media to connect great jobs with great candidates," Facebook said in a statement announcing the Social Jobs app. There are currently more than 1.7 million job listings featured in the Facebook app. Facebook Tests Ranked Comments to Boost Engagement. Facebook is testing a new comments format on brand and subscriber pages by placing the most engaging comments up higher on posts, the company confirmed on Monday.

"We are testing a new format for comments on Page posts," Facebook said in a statement to Mashable. "As part of this test, the most engaging comments appear higher up. You will also be able to reply to individual comments as well as the original post. "' SEE ALSO: Facebook Testing Sound Notifications This means brand pages in the test, which range from journalists such as Fareed Zakaria and New York Jets player Tim Tebow, include ranked comments based on Likes, responses and hides.

Facebook pénalise les contenus non-engageants pour améliorer l'expérience utilisateur et satisfaire les actionnaires. Depuis la spectaculaire introduction en bourse de Facebook, j’ai comme l’impression que la polémique sur l’efficacité réelle des campagnes de social marketing n’en finit pas. Tout à commencé en juin dernier avec les révélations de nombreux gros annonceurs (Performance et maturation des publicités dans Facebook). Le problème dénoncé par ces annonceurs est double : une augmentation des dépenses publicitaires (au travers du reach generator) et une baisse de l’impact des campagnes (taux d’engagement).

Pour être certain que vous compreniez bien de quoi nous parlons : le reach (“portée” en français) désigne le nombre de personnes sur le fil desquelles sera affiché un message, l’engagement désigne une interaction positive avec la marque (like, commentaire…). De moins en moins de fans verront vos publications Je traduis pour que vous vous rendiez bien compte : les publications d’une marque ayant 100.000 fans sur sa page ne sont plus affichées que sur le fil de 12.000 d’entre eux. Facebook Finally Launches “Share” Button For The Mobile Feed, Its Version Of “Retweet” Facebook has just confirmed with me that it is launching a retweet-style “Share” button for the mobile news feed. The much-requested feature is now rolled out for the mobile site, and will soon come to the iOS and Android apps.

Like the web version, it lets people take links and photos posted by someone else or even a Sponsored Story ad and quickly repost it with optional commentary. Facebook has always been about personal updates, not blindly passing on links, but it could start looking a lot like Twitter soon. Inside Facebook reported the mobile site button was a test, but when I asked Facebook, the company confirmed this is not a test and all mobile site and app users will have it soon.
