Welcome to a mid-week #TheDailyThree, a weekday recap featuring three top stories in digital + a few thoughts. Today we’re talking Twitter’s new Bookmarks feature, a big casualty of Facebook’s new algorithm changes, and yet another attempt by Facebook to steal marketshare.
1. Twitter rolled out Bookmarks to all users, allowing people to privately save tweets for later (à la Pocket) instead of having to like them, as many previously did. It may seem like a small deal but if Twitter wants to woo publishers this is a valuable feature.
2. Speaking of publishers, the 1st major casualty of Facebook’s algorithm change is Little Things, who shuttered today blaming a 75% drop in traffic on the social media site. This is a valuable lesson to all publishers that self reliance is the key to longevity.
3. Facebook is trying to do what they do best: Steal marketshare. This time the target in LinkedIn, as FB has begun to put an emphasis on job posts. Jobs now has it’s own section on the site + business pages will be able to post (and of course advertise) listings.
