Today’s guest post is by Yvette Pistorio. Everyday something changes on one of the many social networks. From new terms and conditions on Instagram (which went over REALLY well with people – not!), to Google + Communities and the new interface on LinkedIn, there is always something new to learn. Because Facebook is all over the headlines this week after their big announcement on the Graph Search and because we [&hellip... Read More

Today’s guest post is by Yvette Pistorio. When I was in journalism school I wanted to be Andy Andersen, the how-to girl in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” My plan was to move to New York City and work for Cosmo or one of the Condé  Nast publications.

Will Cathcart, the product manager for news feed at Facebook, spoke to TechCrunch about the EdgeRank algorithm change, “We made a relatively large ranking change [&hellip... Read More

Today’s guest post is written by Yvette Pistorio. A few weeks ago, I asked the Arment Dietrich Facebook community about their favorite PR movie. As is typical, there were some really great answers and some smart aleck answers. So I removed the ones that didn’t really count and looked at what was left. It turns out, there were many good ones. So we narrowed them down to what [&hellip... Read More

You have to participate and engage consistently, Facebook seems to change something on a weekly basis, Google has all of these animal-named announcements, new social networks pop up all the time…it’s exhausting to keep up with everything!

Today’s guest post is written by Yvette Pistorio. I grew up in the ’80s and early ’90s and honestly, it was pretty awesome. Pluto was a planet and I wore about three pairs of socks scrunched over my tightly rolled, acid-washed Jordache jeans. Technology was a novelty – remember Oregon Trail?
