5 social media updates crucial for marketers
New algorithms and features are altering the online landscape. Here’s advice on mastering the latest tools and toys on popular platforms.
To make the most of social media, marketers must stay up to date with platforms’ developments and updates.
Here are important changes you must know about:
1. Facebook changes its news feed algorithm.
Facebook examines patterns that appear in its users’ interactions, such as being tagged in the same photos, getting continuous reactions and comments on the same post, and checking in at the same places. Facebook then uses these patterns to inform its algorithm to predict which friends people want to hear from the most.
