In Case You Missed It: 3 Social Media updates that you need to know about!




Have you noticed these updates from 3 of your favorite social media sites? Over the past week Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter have updated components of their site that may be impactful for your business. Check them out!


1. Youtube

Youtube recently added an area of their site that allows you to edit and create videos with three unique and creative online applications.





The first being Xtranormal Movie Maker, which allows you to turn anything into a CG movie. Animate it instantly.

Next up is GoAnimate, an online application that allows you to animate videos for free.

Lastly, you have Stupeflix a place where you can turn images, videos, and text into an awesome slideshow video.





Not sure if these apps are available for use on a limited basis but that shouldn't stop you from checking them out and creating something fun.


2. Facebook


Want to know how many of your followers like the color pink? Do you need some input on which business cards to use? Well, if you're on Facebook then you now have the option of polling your fans and followers with their easy to use Facebook Questions application. 





Ask anything- fans can vote, post a comment to the questions, and even submit their own voting option. This is a great way to gain insight into a user experience regarding your products or services.







3. Twitter


Finally, Twitter has improved their search capability and now you can do a more intensive search across the site.










You can search by hashtag, keyword, people, or near places. This is such a neat option because previously searching for tweets or people on Twitter was a nightmare that often resulted in no results at all.







Play around with these new updates, maybe they can help you to leverage your business better socially or add to your arsenal of resources.
