The Top 5 Social Media News Of This Week

Another week, another Facebook new feature… well, features to be precise. It seems like the social giant has decided to keep the headlines busy lately as Facebook introduces new tweaks, features and apps every week. This week, it released out a new photo app (to show how much you love your friends), it improved search and rolled out a new notification tab. Just that.

But it seems all these new features might not still be enough for Facebook to avoid seeing fleets of users leaving its platform for other, maybe cooler, maybe trendier, social platforms, like Snapchat. And features will not stop users from doing this, because apparently, it’s happiness that drive them to Snapchat!

So are you ready for this week’s Top 5 trending news on We are Social Media?

It’s a good thing, because Facebook is all about celebrating friends. Following its successful outdoor ad campaign, Facebook is now bringing it online with a new photo app.
wersm-snapchat-makes-users-happier Sorry Facebook, Snapchat Makes Users Happier – You’ve read it before: Facebook users are leaving the platform, often to the benefit of cooler, trendier new ones like Snapchat. Usually, marketers claim that those “younger” users are walking away from Facebook because their parents are on it now, or because the platform has lost its “cool” factor.

Whether it’s the latest movie, or a celebrity, Facebook will now show users top posts and most popular links that people are sharing on a specific topic.

Or not… It looks like Facebook has not still changed its notifications tab, but this is about to change as well.
