Storify is an excellent tool for news reporting, among other things. I hope Twitter doesn't cut them off. Storify is one of the best Twitter feeder services that I can think of.

Pinterest: Everything You Need to Know About the Hottest Niche Site [INFOGRAPHIC] | Multimedia Journalism | Scoop.it

I rescooped this from my topic Pinterest Watch, because I feel this infographic really gives you some insight into what's really happening on Pinterest and it's definitely something I want to bring to your attention.

 

If it makes sense, this site is a great mix in your marketing efforts. Niche sites, especially ones that are visual with less text are becoming more popular everyday and Pinterest is definitely leading the way. Take a quick look at what's happening.......

 

Intro:

 

"How fast is Pinterest growing? How many people work there? This infographic lays it out.

 

**Pinterest has emerged as the runaway social media hit of early 2012. You probably knew that already. But did you know the company just has 12 people? Or that 97% of Pinterest’s Facebook fans are women?

 

**Lemon.ly, a visual marketing firm, took a deep dive into the data to catalog Pinterest’s stunning rise and produced the infographic below.

How To Brand Your New YouTube Profile | SocialMediaExaminer

How To Brand Your New YouTube Profile | SocialMediaExaminer | Multimedia Journalism | Scoop.it

Robin Good: Not everyone likes YouTube new interface facelift, but what counts, is how effective your YouTube presence is in helping you reach your audience and in be found, linked and discovered by new potential fans.

 

Casey Zeman at SocialMediaExaminer has some good, illustrated advice, to share.

Here my key takeaways:

 

"#1: Add Your Custom URLs in the Newly Placed Description Area

 

#2: Add Overlays to ALL of Your Videos

(Previous YouTube guidelines required you to promote your videos in order to take advantage of YouTube’s self-branded overlays. However, YouTube has changed that requirement. You don’t need to have a running and approved promotion for a specific video to take advantage of overlays.

Now you can simply create the promoted video, pause the campaign and still have the power of the branded overlay.)

But there is more.

 

Informative. 7/10
