Within the last week all three major social media networks announced some sort of change to their platforms – I’m talking about Facebook’s Group announcement, Twitter’s Search announcement and LinkedIn’s upgrade announcement. So what’s the deal? Read on to find out!
Last week, news broke that Facebook Groups were going to start implementing read receipts. Now when a message is posted to a group, users will be able to see not only how many people saw the post, but who saw the post.
This new feature will be rolling out to all Groups soon.
The microblogging site is at it again! Twitter revamped their search to what they are now calling “simple search,” which provides users with a more personal search experience.
The basics of simple search include the following…
- Search Autocomplete
- Spelling Corrections
- Related Suggestions
- Real Names and Usernames in Results
- People You Follow Results
