IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Following a slew of new tools for publishers yesterday, Facebook has announced seven “call to action” buttons for Pages. Admins can now select one of seven buttons, which use verbs to attempt to get user conversion and appear on top of the cover photo. The options are: Book Now, Contact Us, Use App, Play Game, Shop Now, Sign Up and Watch Video. Call to action is rolling out over the next few weeks in the US and worldwide in 2015.

Once you’ve liked a Vine, a smiley face appears where you double tapped. This reflects one of the most common complaints about the site, and appears to be the only change included in this update.
After an announcement that it would begin tracking users’ app installs almost two weeks ago, Twitter has begun to allow advertisers to use that data to target users more directly and reach the most valuable audiences. However, the functionality is a little more in depth than originally anticipated, For example, in addition to app installs, marketers can look at which apps a user has registered or made purchases within.
