Now you can see the exact month, day and year your images and videos were posted on Instagram. Every social media manager I know is doing cartwheels over this update. To see your timestamps, simply go to the App Store and update to the latest version of Instagram. You should have version 7.17.1 or later.

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.

Econsultancy in partnership with Adobe has published 2015 Digital Trends report. More than 6,000 business professionals with an interest in digital business took part in this year’s survey. Customer experience is seen as the standout imperative for 2015 and beyond, with 22% saying it is the single most exciting opportunity this year. There is now daylight between CX and content marketing, which is still undoubtedly in the ascendancy but some distance behind with 15% of the vote.
