When posting my co-worker's blog on Swacket late Tuesday night I discovered that when replying to tweets in the mentions view, the box has changed.
When you reply, the entry box is now under the original tweet, removing the popup. Looks like, just as with the recent announcement of expanded tweets, Twitter is moving toward a more streamlined approach to encouraging conversation on the platform.
The U.S. presidential election is heating up, and President Barack Obama is winning by a landslide — on Facebook.
According to a study from social media analytics provider SocialBakers, the Commander in Chief had a dominating lead in May over Republican contender Mitt Romney, in terms of social media fan engagement.
In the left corner of the ring, Obama threw a straight punch with nearly five times as many people "talking about" him as Romney.
Recently Empire Avenue veterans Kim Reynolds (e)QRKIM and Jackie Bigford (e)JACKIESBUZZ teamed up to launch a new business venture together, Savvy Media Marketing (e)SAVVYMEDIACO. As far as I know, this is the first time something like this has happened. So I thought it would be interesting to interview Kim and Jackie about SMM, how it came about and what they're doing.

From Official Site:
“Wanelo is social store curated by the community. Users post, collect and organize products and follow people and stores they like.
Wanelo comes from the words WAnt, NEed and LOve.
How to use Wanelo
- post your product finds from any online store.
- browse others’ finds and save them. saving is like voting a product up – more saves means higher placement on the homepage.
- if people like your taste, they will follow you. more followers + more saves = more visibility for you.”
From review on TechCrunch:
“The eCommerce world is starting to warm up to the future of online shopping: Social curation. Call it the “Pinterest-effect” — People are embracing the idea that bookmarking and social sharing slowly are replacing search with regards to product discovery.
Wanelo is a site that allows users to bookmark and share their favorite products via a grid layout and high-res imagery.
The startup allows you to follow your Facebook friends in addition to top site users — resulting in a more personalized product feed than that of just celebrity selections. To post an item to Wanelo enter a product URL, tag the item with categories, and add price and other details. Users can browse through Wanelo items by popularity, recency, or by people and stores that they follow.
Site founder Deena Varshavskaya says:
“Pinterest is a great product and it solves the curation problem for images,” Varshavskaya tells me, ”It contains products as well, but that’s not their focus, so users don’t go to Pinterest to shop. They go there to collect things like recipes. Wanelo has nothing but products and users know that, so they come to Wanelo to shop. Users on Wanelo have much more purchase intent”

Excerpted from article on Poynter.:
“The new Web service uses the links and photos you share on Twitter or Facebook to populate a Web page.
For an individual journalist, RebelMouse can build a website that harnesses all your social media curation work into a Web product.
For a news organization, RebelMouse could also be a tool for aggregation projects. One page could represent all the content your news staff is tweeting. Another one could pull in content from a hashtag for a crowdsourcing project.
Visually, RebelMouse looks a lot like Pinterest. Functionally, it is in the same product space as Storify, but different in key ways:
- More permanence;
- More automation;
- No embedding, yet.
Pricing is extremely affordable — free for basic usage, and if you want to use the site at a custom domain name (instead of rebelmouse.com/username) it’s $3 a month for an individual or $3 a week for a company.”
