Similar to the weather in much of the UK, there’s been a veritable downpour in the world of social media news recently. Except in Scotland, where it’s been overcast and breezy. I don’t know what that means in relation to social media, but here we go anyways:
facebook gets hipster and buys Instagram
social media tools awesomeness
tumblring down
oh jesus more pinterest
google+ share button

This Easter social media roundup is eggactly what you need to catch up on the social media news and tips from the last month-and-a-bit. See what I did there? I used the word egg. Easter. Egg.
Actually quite a lot has happened over March and the Easter period so prepare to be metaphorically headbutted in the face by a stream of pure information:
google speccy four eyes
google plus redesigns / copies
free-ish social media tools
pinterest: waste of time?
facebook searches, lists and leaves
tweetdeck better
The new Facebook timeline is upon us, and if you have a business page you’ll need to ensure your presence is updated to reflect the changes occurring on 30 March. So what is the timeline, and what’s changing?
This roundup post is so jammed full of social media sweetness they’ve actually had to increase the length of February this year so you can fit it all in. You say it’s an additional day accumulated due to the astronomical calendar not quite fitting in with Gregorian calendar? Nonsense!
Pinterest eats the world

Facebook now made of shares

Google+: What you should know
Linked to Bing
Gi’s a job
A new year, a new load of social media news you probably missed. You may have still been drunk from New Year’s. That’s fine, but you shouldn’t be drunk now. Put the gin down.

The Leveson inquiry into press standards couldn’t be credible if it didn’t begin to look into the implications of social networks upon the press and privacy landscape.
However Leveson has also admitted that he sees Facebook and Twitter as being distinctly different, “pub chatter” between friends. But is this really the case? And does leaving these networks out of any regulation undermine the whole process?
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights; so sang Kiss. Were they talking about Facebook and social media taking control of our evenings? No. No they weren’t. But I am. October features Kiss-tastic news about:
Optimum Facebook posting time
StumbleUpon is big
YouTube marketing
Google reads Facebook comments
Twitter tools
Google+ for Google Apps
Humanising social media
The Facebook special edition: Welcome, welcome, come on in and put your feet up as I regale you with tales of social media past in September. A month that Facebook decided to completely take over.
Enjoy this excellent and pretty extensive post on social media metrics from the pin-up of online marketing, Rand Fishkin.
Yes, it’s a rather late August roundup, but blame the weather – it’s hard to type with a constant depressing downpour of rain outside. But forget that and enjoy the best of social media during the month!
