Google+ is Google's new social network that allows users to share content and thoughts with circles of friends. It differentiates itself by allowing users to organize their social connections into circles and share content selectively. Key features include circles for organizing contacts, hangouts for video chatting, sparks for discovering interests, and a segmented stream for customized sharing. The network aims to provide a social layer across Google's services and products to improve user profiling and targeted advertising.
There are a lot of questions about what Google+ is, how it works, and how to use it. This overview provides a thorough look into the world of Google+ and how to use it.

Google+ is a relatively new social platform developed by Google, and was publicly launched in 2011. The service was created to compete against established social media but in my opinion, has not proven to be unique enough to compel people to engage on a regular basis.

Facebook APIs: There's More Under the Hood than Anyone Knows22squared
June 28, 2011, AllFacebook Expo presentation by Chris Tuff, VP/Social Media Director at 22squared (http://www.mediabistro.com/afexpo/program.asp).
Facebook APIs: There's More Under the Hood than Anyone Knows
What’s available through Facebook’s APIs? No one really knows. Many think that the only available statistics lie in Facebook Insights, but since Facebook opened up their Insights API, a treasure trove of data is available to agencies and brands. API dashboards from companies like AllFacebook, Socialbakers and PageLever serve as the new focus groups and using their tools, agencies are able to identify a brands’ active and engaged fanbase and parallel those segments to determine if they’re reaching brands’ target consumer, if they’re targeting these consumers with paid Facebook ads and if not, what adjustments need to be made to their engagement strategy and idea of that brands’ target consumer. This session will also examine the role of social media as it relates to brands as a whole, and explain why there is so much value for brands on Facebook. We’ll go on to discuss confusion around ad APIs and Facebook Connect APIs (what brands can access within consumer profiles), and share what else Facebook tools and insights can bring to both social media marketing and brand positioning.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending SXSW Interactive. In a nutshell, SXSWi is where all the geeks converge and talk about everything and anything digital. Surprisingly, me, my iPhone and my Mac laptop fit in well there. Who would've thought?
Anyway, this was my first year to go, so there was definitely a learning curve. There were so many speakers and topics to cover, it was quite overwhelming. But all in all, I had a blast and even learned a thing or two.
So here it goes, the thing or two I learned. Most of the stuff you might already have heard before, but it serves as a good reminder of how we should approach marketing, especially in the digital space. I've also conveniently left out all the things I learned from 5pm on (man, can geeks party).

Hello friends,
Yes, it’s that time of year again: a time for fruitcake, impassable traffic outside shopping malls, and the frantic search for the perfect gift. It’s also the time of year for that ubiquitous agency output — the trend piece.
I’ve generally found that these ponderous tomes have a shelf life roughly equivalent to the fruitcake mentioned above. After that, they become great paperweights or door-stoppers. Which is a shame, because a lot of time, sweat equity, and research go into developing them.
We often remark that 22squared is a different kind of agency — nimble, independent, collaborative — so it’s only fitting that we think about trends a little differently. We’re driven by a radical idea: that we should hold ourselves accountable for our lofty trend predictions.
Rather than creating a massive trend review and sending it out into the ether, never to be discussed again (until next’s years assignment rolls around), we wanted to revisit predictions we made at the outset of the year and see how close we came to gauging the future.
This is not to pat ourselves on the back if we were dead-on, or shame ourselves if we were dead-wrong, but rather to make sure we’re always building upon our learnings. At the end of the day, we believe trends are organic things: not a static fact at a certain moment in time, but living, evolving, shifting patterns that shape and guide the world we live in. It’s by charting the course of these predictions over time that we can begin to see (and harness) the impact they make on our clients’ businesses, and thus know what to look for in the coming year.
This piece has been a true collaboration, both within the Brand Planning department and across disciplines here at 22squared. We hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed pulling it together. We also sincerely hope that, as the new year rolls around, you won’t be using this as a door-stopper, but rather referencing it throughout the year to see how we stack up for next year’s trends time capsule.
Happy holidays, and happy reading -

How Southeast Toyota Dealers Mastered Local at Scale on Facebook22squared
All retail brands struggle with how to leverage the complex and ever-changing social platforms for local retailers. Using client Southeast Toyota Distributors as a case study, 22squared's Chris Tuff, Southeast Toyota's Julie Tullis and BLiNQ Media's Dave Williams will discuss how brands and marketers can best stay ahead of the evolving social platforms, as well as why they chose Facebook as the foundation for creating true word-of-mouth on behalf of dealers. They will address creative, attribution, ROI, local at scale, how to use paid to scale WOM and share 10 sure-fire techniques for brands to win locally on Facebook.

A search for "Facebook Fatigue” on Google yields 48 million results, and Google Trends shows that the search term has never seen more volume than it did last month. In a February 5 survey of U.S. adults ages 18 and over by the Pew Research Center, 34% of current Facebook users said that the amount of time they spend on Facebook has decreased over the past year, with the number jumping to 42% for those adults ages 18 to 29.
However, with comScroe recently reporting that Facebook is the #1 website in terms of total digital time spent (at 10.8%), with 83% market share of time spent on social networks, are people saying one thing but doing another? How much of a threat are other social networks like Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest? What about the new sensation, Pheed, which recently rocketed to the #1 position in terms of most downloaded social networking app on Apples’ iTunes charts, are marketers concerned? What have they been experiencing in terms of engagement on Facebook? While Facebook Fatigue has long been a concern (“Why Do We Have Facebook Fatigue” was a popular post by uber blogger Om Malik in July 2007), the question feels more relevant today then ever.
Our speakers each look at Facebook from a different perspective, and they are each awash in data about user opinions and marketer experiences across geographies, demographics, and devices. By looking at trends over time, our speakers will bring additional context to the rapidly evolving Facebook universe, discuss what it means for the future of Facebook and digital marketing, and answer your questions.

Dominating Scale with Facebook Technology to Drive True ROI22squared
Whether it's delivering ad buys that are contextually relevant to specific fans, or the issues with content targeting for specific fans via newsfeed posts, all brands struggle with scale. This becomes increasingly true for retailers that want a local strategy for many individual locations. Using client Southeast Toyota as an example, 22squared's Chris Tuff and Southeast Toyota's Julie Tullis will discuss how brands and marketers can best stay ahead of the ever-changing Facebook marketing environment to deliver true ROI.

Relevancy and Context: The Key to Great Mobile Experiences22squared
While we've been using the term "personal computing" for well over 40 years, the device in your pocket is really the first computer-worthy of the moniker. Consider that the typical smartphone possesses the senses of vision, audition, mechanoreception, equilibrioception, and thermoception; and they’re all backed by information regarding the user's location, friends, schedule, correspondence, etc. Now, top it off with a full-time connection to the Internet. If we define context as the sum total of everything that the user is experiencing at the moment of engagement, then the mobile device has the unique ability to gather contextual information and provide relevant content in ways never before imagined.

The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
