Organisation et optimisation Personnalisation : Découvrez toutes les nouveautés de Facebook. A l'occasion de la conférence f8 organisée chaque année par Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg a présenté d'importantes nouveautés du réseau social. Certains changements figurent parmi les plus importants jamais apportés sur la plateforme. 1 - Le profil Le profil va subir un lifting complet, bien plus important que toutes les modifications qu'il a déjà pu connaître. Son nouveau nom, "Timeline" (la ligne du temps) lui va comme un gant puisqu'il permet de remonter très loin dans les informations que vous avez partagées (photos, statuts, applications utilisées, lieux visités...) et ce jusque votre naissance.
Le réseau social souhaite ainsi encourager les internautes à partager des informations issues de leur passé, comme des photos d'enfance. Pour ne pas encombrer le profil, plus l'utilisateur partagera d'informations, plus les informations importantes seront mises en avant. Timeline n'est, pour le moment, disponible que pour les développeurs et il sera optionnel. Les impacts. Facebook, You're Not a Newspaper. Whenever Facebook launches a major re-design, there is a user outcry. Partly that's because Facebook is known for its clumsy and confusing design, partly it's because people are resistant to change. This time round though, the main issue is that Facebook is trying to be something it is not: a newspaper. The change causing all the fuss is to the News Feed, which makes up the primary content on your Facebook homepage. Instead of the most recent content from your social network displaying on your homepage, now you see "top stories" as determined by Facebook's software.
In announcing the change, Facebook claimed that "News Feed will act more like your own personal newspaper. " The problem is, Facebook is a social network - not a news network. This is nicely illustrated by my own most recent Facebook status update. That's not news - and I wouldn't want it to be a "top story" in any of my friends' Facebook homepages. A social-media guide for public broadcasters targets the skeptical and the ambitious. Even though NPR and PBS have social media policies (while other news organizations choose not to and still others debate their value), hundreds of independent public broadcasters have shared no common resource for social-media best practices.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting wants to fill that gap with a newly released social media handbook for stations, which is hosted at the National Center for Media Engagement website. CPB commissioned the marketing firm iStrategy Labs to write a guide that targets a broad audience: not just the stations who need guidance, but the stations who still need convincing of social media’s value. “There remains some hesitancy in public media toward embracing social media,” said Daniel McCoy, CPB’s product manager of media strategies. “This is a resource that we knew that stations would trust coming from CPB and NCME.” In other words, there are a lot of social-media guides out there but none that speak directly to public media’s core values.

La diffusion vidéo des bulles, la “killer app” pour les journalistes ? Facebook is winning the war for our online attention. Waiting for the demise of Google+? Don't hold your breath - TNW Google. Since day one, bloggers, social media experts, and just about anyone with an opinion has been very quick to pass judgement over Google+’s future. The social network hasn’t even closed in on 3 months and already many are more than happy to predict its early demise. A recent conversation I had on Twitter about this topic got me thinking about all the ingredients that Google+ currently has going for it, and since they could clearly not be limited to a 140 character update, I figured I’d blog about it instead.
