The Emerging Need for Hashtag Search

If you’ve been part of this social media party for more than a few years you likely remember when Technorati was an indispensable part of the marketing and monitoring toolkit.

Social Media Policies Come Under Legal Review

(Note: Hat tip to Christopher Barger for flagging this story and for making sure the below made some sort of sense.)

Get visual with your publishing

Among the social media predictions for 2013 in this AllThingsD op-ed, I think the point that visuals will play a more important role in brand-created content is the one that has the most profound potential impact.
