A big change on Facebook: the Social Network built alternatives to its trademark ”like” button, and has globally launched emoji “Reactions.” Users can still respond to a post or comment with the traditional “like” button. But starting February 24, 2016, users are allowed to choose from six different animated emoji “Reactions”: Like, Love, Haha, Wow Sad or Angry. “Reactions” are designed to be an extension of the “like” button as opposed to a full-on replacement. Users will be notified when their posts receive ”Reactions” in the same way they’re notified about “likes.” Facebook said in its latest blog post that it wanted to give users more authentic ways to quickly and easily respond to posts, whether they are sad, serious, funny or happy”: The new reactions appear when you hover over Like on a PC, or hold it down on mobile or tablet.

They can learn things about likely buyers that are hard to find elsewhere. What are the interests of those prospects? Their likes, their dislikes? What are they reading and sharing? When you know a few things about someone, you have a more...

There it is! The app and the website Blab.im, where four people can video chat simultaneously. The audience can watch live, comment and instantly switch places with video chatters. Read this blog post to learn how you can strengthen your social media identity via blab. To participle as a video chatter in one of the squares — which I can’t help thinking looks like a 21st century Brady Bunch panel (translation = very fun) — you sign in with your Twitter credentials. Afterwards, when someone clicks on your name in Blab, they see the handle and bio you’ve already entered on your Twitter bio. When a new video chatter attempts to join the four-person chat, the creator of a Blab can choose to accept or deny entry. And as the video chat plays out, the moderator can let the live chat disappear into the ether when it’s over, or hit...

All Google Inc. shares will convert into Alphabet shares. This is what has just been posted on GoogleBlog by Larry Page As Sergey and I wrote in the original founders letter 11 years ago, “Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one.” As part of that, we also said that you could expect us to make “smaller bets in areas that might seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our current businesses.” From the start, we’ve always strived to do more, and to do important and meaningful things with the resources we have. We did a lot of things that seemed crazy at the time. Many of those crazy things now have over a billion users, like Google Maps, YouTube, Chrome, and Android. And we haven’t stopped...
