Welcome to this week’s top social media stories. The big story is probably not the one you expected: Google is reshuffling its entire ad offering starting July 10th.
It’s a revolution. It was much needed. On July 10th, Google will launch its new advertising ecosystem. Things have changed a lot since Adwords was launched 18 years ago, and Google had to evolve to stay relevant. So forget Google Adwords and DoubleClick, and get ready for Google Ads.
On the Facebook side, this week saw the launch of the company’s first ever print magazine (!) and the rollout of a new grid view for your profile that makes it look (a lot) like Instagram. There are also reports that a “You Time (spent) On Facebook” could be coming soon.
