Another #WebWednesday means another iteration of our weekly round-up of interesting content we’ve come across on the world wide web. Before we fill you in on the “social media 411” (yes, we’re kicking it a little old-school this week…) we just wanted to remind you all about our upcoming webinar tomorrow at 1 EST / 10 AM PST on How to Become a Hotel Digital Genius where we’ll review how social media engagement, mobile applications, and web are converting browsers to customers and improving guest satisfaction for top hotel brands. We’ll also be live tweeting the webinar, so you can follow along the session by using the #DigitalGenius hashtag on Twitter.
This week’s #WebWednesday digest focuses on recent, relevant developments coming from many of the major social media outlets. From Foursquare’s launch of their new application to Google+’s continued ascent as a major social network player, there is a flurry of content to digest.
