Is Facebook Questions a Gamechanger?  

Facebook recently rolled out a new product, Facebook Questions. The product is being tested on 1 million or so users in beta before it goes live, likely in the next few weeks, to Facebook's entire 500 million+ user base. Essentially, the product mirrors several existing ones, such as Quora, Yahoo Answers and LinkedIn Answers. But with a user base of 500 million+ people around the world, and more important, an understanding of the social graph and people's relationships with one another, we believe Facebook Questions has the potential to change the way people think about search marketing.

Twitter Hits 20 Billion Tweets! 

Facebook may be the biggest social media player in town but it's certainly not the only one. While Facebook boasts 500 million users, Twitter is still generating A LOT of content. This past weekend, Twitter hit 20 billion tweets (according to the tracking service GigaTweet, whose numbers, though unofficial, are pretty accurate). To celebrate this momentous occasion, we compiled a list of our Top 5 Favorite Features Twitter has rolled out over the years in a Tribute to Twitter. Read Mallorie's entire post here.


Likeable Featured in Inside Facebook

Inside Facebook is one of our favorite social media blogs to read, to keep up with Facebook's rapid-fire pace of innovation. That's why we were totally humbled and thrilled when Inside Facebook asked to interview and profile us as part of a series on the top companies working with Facebook. To read the entire article from last week, click here.
