Though there are many factors that influence how and what consumers buy, a great deal is decided by visual cues like color. When marketing new products it is crucial to consider that consumers place visual appearance and color above other factors such as sound, smell and texture.  <a href="http://blog.kissmetrics.com/color-psychology/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/blog.kissmetrics.com/color-psychology/');" target="_blank">KISSmetrics</A>Pinterest Gives the Gift of GIFs, Recipe Search – Pinterest news this week includes the launch of a new recipe search feature for special dietary requirements, personalized home pages (still being tested) and functionality for GIF images. <a href="http://www.clickz.com/clickz/news/2324817/pinterest-gives-the-gift-of-gifs-recipe-search" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.clickz.com/clickz/news/2324817/pinterest-gives-the-gift-of-gifs-recipe-search');" target="_blank" title="Pinterest Gives GIFs">ClickZ</A>Twitter Launches Card Analytics to Let Publishers Monitor Impressions, Clicks – The dashboard shows impressions, URL clicks, and app installs of a publisher’s tweets and mentions by other users, as well as easy ways to measure favorites, retweets, and follows. If Twitter can teach publishers how to create better content, the service as a whole will become more informative, engaging, and, ideally, money-producing. Here’s a video that explains the features in more depth. <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/23/analytics-for-twitter-cards/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/techcrunch.com/2014/01/23/analytics-for-twitter-cards/');" target="_blank" title="Analytics for Twitter Cards">TechCrunch</A>Google Scoops Up Artificial Intelligence Firm DeepMind – The acquisition follows a series of purchase made this month including Android development company Bitspin, along with Nest Labs, and Impermium. DeepMind founders describe the company’s technology as combining machine learning and systems neuroscience to build general-purpose learning algorithms. <a href="http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/218176/google-scoops-up-artificial-intelligence-firm-deep.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.mediapost.com/publications/article/218176/google-scoops-up-artificial-intelligence-firm-deep.html');" target="_blank" title="Google Buys AI Firm DeepMind">MediaPost</A>Facebook News Feed Tweak Downplays Text Updates From Pages – The latest News Feed algorithm tweak will likely be good news for users, but could prove to be another headache for brands. A Facebook spokesperson says that they will start showing more text status updates from users in the News Feed, but it will downplay the number of text status updates from Pages. The change was based on an observation that Facebook users respond better to text posts from other users than they do from Pages. <a href="http://mashable.com/2014/01/21/facebook-news-feed-tweak/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/mashable.com/2014/01/21/facebook-news-feed-tweak/');" target="_blank" title="Facebook Newsfeed Tweak">Mashable</A>Apple’s Next China Challenge Comes From Local Smartphone Rivals – China’s brands are likely to do well as demand grows for inexpensive smartphones. “Cheap devices are not the attractive segment that normally grabs headlines, but IDC data shows this is the portion of the market that is driving volume,” said Ryan Reith, program director with IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker. <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-01-28/apples-next-china-challenge-comes-from-local-rivals" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-01-28/apples-next-china-challenge-comes-from-local-rivals');" target="_blank" title="Apples Next China Challenge">Business Week</A>The Instagram Rule of 11 – The number 11 represents a simple but important tipping point. Once you earn 11 likes on Instagram for a photo that you’ve posted, the service shrinks down the likes from a list of your friends’ handles to a number. For many users, this simple milestone is important. In a study MRY conducted on Millennials’ technology behavior, respondents noted passionately the need to reach this number. Apparently, there’s an Instagram “rush hour,” which takes place when people are commuting home around 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. <a href="http://www.clickz.com/clickz/column/2325052/the-instagram-rule-of-11" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.clickz.com/clickz/column/2325052/the-instagram-rule-of-11');" target="_blank" title="Instagram Rule of 11">ClickZ</A>Google Ends its Motorola Misadventure – In an attempt to mimic Apple, acquiring Motorola was a failure. Phones such as the Moto X have not performed spectacularly; at the same time, Google’s ownership of Motorola irritated other handset makers, such as Samsung Electronics. Google also wanted to get its hands on Motorola’s deep patent portfolio and to neutralize the threats Motorola was making against Google and other members of the Android world. While they succeeded in avoiding an all-out Android legal disaster, they paid a price – selling Motorola for $9.6 Billion and effectively saying goodbye to the smartphone business. <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2014/01/29/google-bids-goodbye-to-the-smartphone-business-with-2-9-billion-motorola-sale/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.forbes.com/sites/parmyolson/2014/01/29/google-bids-goodbye-to-the-smartphone-business-with-2-9-billion-motorola-sale/');" target="_blank" title="Google Ends its Smartphone Business with Motorola Sale">Forbes</A>4 in 10 Top Retail Brands Using Vine – Also of note, adoption of Pinterest has grown from 78% in to 89%, reports 8th Bridge, putting the visual platform on par with Twitter. Separately, 54% of retailers either already use (13%) or plan to use (41%) social login within the next year. If those plans materialize, retailers should be collecting a lot more social data; currently, the analysis finds that only 27% are collecting customer likes and only 2% are asking for a customer’s friend list and the friends’ likes. <a href="http://www.marketingcharts.com/wp/online/4-in-10-top-retail-brands-using-vine-39266/?utm_campaign=rssfeed&utm_source=mc&utm_medium=textlink&utm_reader=feedly" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.marketingcharts.com/wp/online/4-in-10-top-retail-brands-using-vine-39266/?utm_campaign=rssfeed&utm_source=mc&utm_medium=textlink&utm_reader=feedly');" target="_blank" title="Retail Brands Using Vine">Marketing Charts</A>How the Top 100 Brands Use Twitter – Audiences for brands grew by 20% in Q4 2013 and brand tweets that included pictures and content links generated the most engagement.

While this extra information could be good news for site owners, the popup also adds up to three extra links to the search result that don’t go to your website. Since it is Knowledge Graph data, the popups rely heavily on Wikipedia, which also may not necessarily be a good user experience, depending on how you feel about Wikipedia.  <a href="http://searchengineland.com/google-adds-a-knowledge-graph-popup-to-search-results-but-is-it-good-for-site-owners-182408" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/searchengineland.com/google-adds-a-knowledge-graph-popup-to-search-results-but-is-it-good-for-site-owners-182408');" target="_blank" title="Google Adds Knowledge Graph Popup">Search Engine Land</A>New Data: 50% of Companies Use More Than One Marketing Automation Solution – Even if a lot of companies are using more than one marketing automation software solution, there’s really no one reason to explain it all.

The latest report from Kenshoo seems to bolster the belief that this change in direction means Facebook’s becoming a more ad-driven marketing landscape, rather than a content driven one. <a href="http://econsultancy.com/blog/64189-facebook-ads-drive-60-increase-in-sales-revenue?utm_medium=feeds&utm_source=blog&utm_reader=feedly" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/econsultancy.com/blog/64189-facebook-ads-drive-60-increase-in-sales-revenue?utm_medium=feeds&utm_source=blog&utm_reader=feedly');" target="_blank" title="Facebook Ads Drive 60 Percent Increase in Sales Revenue">eConsultancy</A>Foursquare Vulnerability Exposes 45 Million Users’ Email Addresses – According to a penetration tester and hacker, Jamal Eddine, an attacker could and did extract email addresses of all 45 million users just by using a few lines of scripting tool.

I love podcasting and get more listeners to my podcast than visitors to my blog – which is great as they’re both doing well. It’s the idea of connecting directly with people so you can help them that appeals to me – and on a personal level you can learn so much and have some fascinating discussions with your guests.Bill Freedman said, Podcasts are great. I’m a regular consumer. Your article is thorough and well written. Nonetheless, I’ve chosen not to put podcasts in my marketing mix. Not now at least. Why? It is hard to build a podcast audience and keep them coming back. What’s more, my favorite podcasts: The Moth, Planet Money, Leo Laporte, This American Life, Harvard Business Review, all started with a strong non-podcast brand and audience before adding a podcast to their mix. Add to that professional on-air talent and high quality production. Podcasting is easy to do, but very, very, very hard to do well enough to attract and maintain an audience. My belief is that it is easier to build a video channel than a podcast channel. But that is a different topic for a different day.John Trader said, Nicolette, great article! I absolutely love the idea of providing an email address at the conclusion of the podcast for people to submit questions and then scheduling a subsequent podcast to answer them! I made podcasts a regular part of my marketing strategy in 2012 and have seen very positive results thus far. I need to take your advice and write more of an outline than a narrative when I speak so it doesn’t sound so scripted. That’s definitely a weakness for me.
