Hey Stacey,
The reading roundups always help me to know more about the latest trends in the blogosphere.
Twitter is going to make the hard decision. It’s good to know that someone is picking it up.
That post by TechCrunch about Facebook live videos can be really helpful.
People are waiting for the changes in the live videos.
Thanks for the info.

I was quite surprised that Twitter, waited till now to finallly shut down Vine. I havent used that in a very long time, eventhough initially I thought it would hit off like other social media networks, but I guess for some reason it didnt, I presume too much competition and probably lack of innovation within their management.
I was away from Facebook for a while, they have started sponsored posts.. Sounds interesting! I have to look into it.
Thanks for sharing.
Sad about Vine being killed off … this medium was the source of many creative and hilarious creations!
I know! I’ll totally miss it.
Hey Stacey,
Video blogging helps us to build connections with our viewers like no other blogging format. Marketers are buzzing about the importance of visual content – photos, infographics and videos are key to telling your brand’s story. When it comes to content marketing, the role of video is becoming increasingly clear.
Authentic communication is an integral component of healthy living. It simply means bringing our feelings and perceptions into a conversation, and it’s the only way to develop true connection with the people around us. Businesses are flocking to video content marketing as an efficient and wickedly effective content tactic.
Eventually, thanks for sharing this wonderful roundup to us.
With best wishes,
Amar kumar
Vine was a good move. There is no point shutting down such established platform.
