Spring-cleaning on your list of things to do this weekend? Well maybe an hour at the keyboard going through your LinkedIn Privacy Settings may be worth the effort. They have done their own housecleaning so it’s time to see how it is affecting your profile. And we’ll round out the hour with highlights from the Pinterest 2015 Transparency Report.

You have too work pretty hard to find two people who are more committed to innovative marketing and seizing opportunities to enhance your brand image. However, even Ken and Carol draw the line with #DeathJacking. This week with the deaths of Nancy Reagan and George Martin (the 5th Beatle), it seems the concept of #Newsjacking has hit a new low and we want to set you straight.

It’s official – Facebook Reactions has been launched and whether you Like, Love, HaHa, or want to express sadness or anger, there is an emoji for you. But, the big question @kenherron and @linkedinlady will be addressing today on The Social Solutions Show is whether this is good or bad for business marketers.

The Social Solutions Show is not about politics but even we have to tip our hats to the quick action of @realDonaldTrump (or his team) when they scooped up a URL when it expired – which one, you ask? Try jebbush.com. Enough said.

We knew it was coming but it didn’t stop the outrage when Twitter changed the way we receive our tweet feed. Do you care if you see all your incoming tweets or just the ones that Twitter deems important enough for you to see? That starts the Social Solutions Show with @kenherron and @linkedinlady today. But fasten your seatbelt – there’s plenty more! Meet FirstView, the new paid video ad that will appear at the top of your feed (and you can’t turn it off. Bravo Instagram for allowing easy switching between multiple accounts so we can stay connected to friends and business with a simple click. Have you met Amy, your new personal assistant for scheduling meetings? Joining us will be Dennis Mortensen, CEO and Founder of x.ai to explain.

So this Sunday is the biggest sporting event of the year (#SB50) and as a marketer you have a choice. Do you sit on the couch stuffing nachos and wings or do you seize the opportunity to get IN the game and amp up your social media messaging? Today’s Social Solutions Show will give you some tips on how to enjoy this major media event and help your business at the same time. Of course we’ll share our best marketing tips for small business during the Super Bowl as well as how you (yes, you) can do paid advertising during the game. But where should you do it…perhaps mobile…maybe not!

Today’s Social Solutions Show will give you some compelling evidence to boost your pace and get you back in competition. Once we have your attention, we’ll give you some cool tools and techniques to help you on your way. Included the lineup are updates on Adobe Voice, what Pinterest pinners want in 2016, how to deal with negative comments on your Facebook page, why Snapchat should be on your radar screen, and what 70 million users a month on SlideShare know that you don’t.

It was predictable but still disappointing that our hopes for Instagram as the organic platform of choice have been dashed in favor of the well-known Facebook ‘pay for play’ requirement. It’s not all bad news, but it definitely will take some of the fun out of this fast-growing and hugely popular site.

It may seem obvious that it’s easier to fly with the right wings, but now Twitter has given marketers open access to their own Flight School. Today’s Social Solutions Show will bring you up to date on how to get your wings and what they will do for your business.

The verdict is in on the 10,000 character limit on Twitter (expected to be released in March) and it seems there are some very positive outcomes that you should anticipate. If you’re bored with the current social platforms, perhaps you are ready for Peach. Refreshingly fun and simple and offers some features that will give new meaning to engagement with friends, family, and customers.

Periscope videos will now play automatically within Twitter on your iPhone making live stream video even more viable (and necessary for your marketing). And if that’s not enough, we’ll round out today’s show with LinkedIn’s latest list of 25 hottest skills as well as some must know presentation tips.
