What a week! Getting money for your birthday takes on a whole new meaning, while all the platforms are doing all kinds of gymnastics, finding ways to make money.

This week includes portions of an interview with one of our local communications professionals in Trinidad & Tobago, Mr. Shahad Ali. It will be pre-empting the regular weekly review of the news, though these will be outlined on my Facebook Page and Instagram. Just look for "What's Up Social Media?" on either of those platforms.

Facebook hosted a global launch party of parties - Watch Parties, that is. Snapchat makes way for their 'Storytellers'. Facebook looks to bring ads to their Stories, Pinterest sits down to tell us some stories about their users, while Twitter provides a 'Playbook' to help businesses create their own stories - one tweet (or retweet) at a time.  Plus, this week I focus on the question of how to make the best of your social media content, and I give you a teaser for next week's episode. So exciting!  For show notes, go to this link: https://docs.zoho.com/show/publish/8eny9055983a7f7954bbfb18d50225ea734ae

I am back! This week, LinkedIn was the "big man in de bizness", rolling out new features by the dozen (literally!), to the delight of many. Snapchat did a report based on foot traffic of Snapchatters, and provided marketing tips for the Back-to-School shopping season. And much more... Stay tuned, as I am setting up a Patreon account, and have some beautiful rewards planned for my much-appreciated donors. Also, note that the blog, with show notes will be up and running by the end of this week.
