Inspiration, statistics and changes fills the 39th edition of the #MidWeekNickle. We use apps more then ever, Facebook keeps developing and Malcom Gladwell with his lovely hair gives a great talk about happiness, marketing and spaghetti sauce.  

I really hope you all had an amazing september. I really love when the air gets crispier, your vision starts to extend to the horizon. Just like when you’re in the mountains during winter. The eye can see endlessly. I love nature. It has the vibrating effect on me and thats why I always take the header pictures of landscape to manifest the beauty and frailty here on the #MidWeekNickle; as a sublime reminder that we need to take care of the earth.

Now lets dig in to the digital world of social and marketing.

Facebook

UK is not far behind with Facebook grabbing 7,5% of the money spent on digital ads while in the US is 10%.

Facebook still developing their service to become a ”full service” social platform. This time they are peeking towards the secret sharing apps like Cluster, Secret and many more.

Facebook has announced its latest tweaks to the algorithm determining what people see in their news feeds, with topical news and timely posts the focus.

Facebook partner up with Yahoo to take on Youtube.
