Welcome to this week’s top social media stories: Facebook relaunches 3D posts, Google introduces AMP Stories, Pinterest lets us rearrange pins and boards and Snapchat hits a new high with its e-com strategy.
This was a tough week for social media platforms. Facebook still seems a bit lost after Mark Zuckerberg himself decided 2018 was going to be the year to “fix Facebook.” Two months later, nobody really knows what to expect anymore. And what about Snapchat? Its redesign continues to upset many users and a tweet from Kylie Jenner – a single tweet – cost the company to lose over $1billion of valuation. Tough times, right?
sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me… ugh this is so sad.
