Pinterest went up from 9th place to 8th this week. I tried a Pinterest app for the first time last week too which was interesting - a Chase campaign where they were trying to sell kitchen improvement loans. The idea is Chase would create you a pinterest board with your style of kitchen and include pins on how to fund it. The execution was weak but the idea was great.  Chase using Pinterest to sell loans [Digiday]

Sometimes brands don't care at all about earned media on social media and are happy just to buy ads on their own. That's what Apple did when advertising the XS on Twitter. 

Instagram's IGTV - long form video - got a little more traction this week. 

There are still lots of authentication problems on social and even the crowd can be wrong: Wikipedia found itself in the spotlight when its editors stopped a social media page for someone who became a Nobel Prize Winner for "not being famous enough"....

 

Have a good week, happy socialising.
