#MidweekMinute: New YouTube & LinkedIn developments; new follows on FB & Insta
New YouTube & LinkedIn developments; new follows on FB & Insta
YouTube introduces video sharing & messaging for app, and new ad formats for TV. LinkedIn continues to aggressively develop its capacity as a business tool, providing services beyond interpersonal connections. Facebook hasn't let you go live via Camera for some reason, but it will now... oh, and Donald Trump is also releasing his "Real News" show on that platform, too (I've got your FB news right here...). Finally, Apple is finally using Instagram to showcase photos taken on iPhones (which sounds an awful lot like my account, but I digress).
