1. Google is working on another social network called Shoelace. Its motive is to bring together people who share the same interest through in-person activities.

The goal of this new app is to bring people together offline and build real connections. The app will ask you to add your interest so that the Shoelace can recommend a list of local events or activities that might interest you. You will also be allowed to create your event and share it with the community so that the people from the same interest can find and join you. Shoelace platform is available only in the NYC area and is invite-only for now.

2. Pinterest’s new app allows you to create and manage campaigns from your mobile device.

To set the campaign up, first, choose one pin from your business profile and create a campaign for this Pin. To set the campaign, select an automated or custom targeting option for your selected Pin, also set the daily budget and the end date to a campaign. Once your campaign gets live, you can customize it as per the reviews and also, optimize it by adjusting the budget and targeted audience. You also get an option to add your billing information that allows you to run the ads from the mobile devices. This simplifies the campaign management process, making it easy and quick for the advertisers. For now, the Mobile Ad Tool is available only in the US and is currently being rolled out globally.

3. Facebook’s search ad placement option in News Feed and Marketplace is widening its horizon to more accounts.

A small test that was carried out on December 2018 on few automotive and retail advertisers, revealed one eye-opener result, and after that Facebook has decided to expand its search ad placement to e-commerce advertisers as well. The ads will appear in search results for the queries typed by users. The only, oops moment for this is, it doesn’t allow advertisers to select keywords or phrases for these campaigns.
