The Top 5 Social Media Stories Of This Week

40shares

Welcome to this week’s top social media stories: Instagram adds a new “focus” feature for better portrait shots and plans to introduce “Nametags,” Zuck has a secret tool that lets him delete messages he sent and Gmail is getting a redesign.

If it wasn’t for the Gmail redesign, one could conclude this week was all about Facebook and Instagram. Of course, that is not a surprise, it was the week Zuck went to testify in front of the US Congress.

Talking about Zuck, he did a pretty good job showing the world how little Senators understood about the world wide web… But we also found out two interesting things: Facebook has thought about – or is thinking about – a possible ad-free version of its platform that users would have to pay to use. And even more exciting, Facebook executives have a secret tool to remove all traces of messages they sent. And soon we will have it too!
