Here’s our daily recap of what happened in online marketing today, as reported on MarTech and other places across the Web.

From Marketing Land:

  • Facebook’s New News Feed: The Before & After Look
    Facebook has a new look to its news feed rolling out. How different is it? Not only is it a new visually pleasing look, but it also has substantial changes to the amount of “rich” information shown about content. Below, some before-and-after from my own news feed. Let’s start with this: That’s what I saw […]
  • Facebook Newsfeed Evolving Into “The Best Personalized Newspaper”
    While most people don’t think of Facebook as the equivalent of a “personalized newspaper,” that’s how many inside Facebook think about Newsfeed. And that was the metaphor repeatedly used throughout the presentation today. More on that later. Here’s our related coverage: How To Get The New Facebook News Feed Power To Separate Feeds: A Look […]
  • How To Get The New Facebook News Feed
    So you’ve read about the new look for Facebook’s news feed and want to try it yourself? Here’s how. The new look is rolling out today to those who request it. Go here to do that, and use the “Try the new look” button: After you’ve done that, you’ll get a confirmation: Then it’s waiting […]

The news came out as part of a special Facebook press conference held today. See our separate stories about […]
  • Twitter Locally
    Twitter is the ham radio of social media. With it, you can sit in your basement (figuratively) and connect with like-minded individuals near and far away. Never mind that you enjoy nibbling on Manchego cheese while listening to Harry Belafonte songs, you can be sure that somewhere, someone shares those passions – and it’s on […]
  • Report: Local-Mobile Ad Targeting Offers Big Performance Lift
    Mobile ad network xAd joined the “year in review” club, releasing a report showcasing a year’s worth of data from ad campaigns on its network. The bottom line: location targeting, whether in search or display, improves performance over standard mobile search and display advertising. The network offers a range of location targeting types that go […]
  • 10 Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Marketing Via Foursquare
    Nearly two years ago, my co-author Mike Schneider and I published a book called Location-Based Marketing for Dummies. At the time, location-based marketing was just getting off the ground in large part thanks to the launch of two services: foursquare and Gowalla. Over the last couple of years, many of the original location-based services have […]
  • My, What A Big Profile Page & Cover Photo You Have, Google+
    Like many today, Google+ offered to upgrade the cover photo of my Google+ profile page to the new larger size, up to 2120×1192. Wow, would that even fit on my screen? And would anything even show other than the picture? Let’s have some fun comparing profile pages at Google+, Facebook and Twitter. Oh Say What Can You See? […]
