Best Practices

Apple WWDC Updates

Apple Worldwide Developers Conference was free this year and many changes announced – most notably in privacy.

Google Keen

To the extent that tech pundits continue to compare Google’s new Keen search and social discovery site to Pinterest, and users also think of it that way, it’s probably destined to fail. Google famously doesn’t promote and ultimately shutters most of these “experiments.”

Google Image Check

In an effort to curb the spread of misinformation on its platform, Google said Monday it would begin to fact-check Google Images search results.

Facebook Ad Boycott

The brands will no longer advertise on Facebook or Instagram in July.

Devin Nunes’ Cow Wins

A judge has ruled that Rep. Devin Nunes has no right to sue Twitter over statements made by a fake Internet cow, someone parodying his mother and a Republican strategist.

YouTube Shoppable Ads

YouTube announced a new direct response ad format that will make YouTube video ads more “shoppable” by adding browsable product images underneath the ad to drive traffic directly to brands’ product pages.

Pandora Podcast Analytics

a new set of visually-driven data analytics tools that provide podcast creators with even more insights into their audience on Pandora.

Worst Practices

Facebook Harbors Hate

Despite removing some Boogaloo groups, there are still dozens of pages on Facebook, according to the Washington Post.

Facebook struggles to keep violent ‘boogaloo’ content off its platform

Creepy Medical Masks

A producer in Gandhinagar, India, has created a system that allows you to print the bottom half of your own face on to a mask – so when you wear it, it still looks like you.

You can get your own face printed on a face mask – and it is creepy

LinkedIn Brand Fight

When data company Yellowbrick promoted its data center on Linkedin today, IBM slapped back with this caption about its Netezza database: “Yellow brick roads are for fairy tales. Netezza. There’s no place like home.”
