Social media is an exciting field to work in. It’s always changing, and I’m always learning and trying new things. For me, yesterday involved a new experience: I was an official live blogger for the BlogWell social media marketing conference in Dallas.
Yesterday I wrote “11 Best of 2011: Important Changes in Social Media“, so today I bring you the future—a list of 2012 social media changes that I predict will have the biggest affect on my friends and clients in Dallas and the United States.
1. Twitter Adds Enhanced Pages for All Businesses
2011 was a year dotted with major redesigns and new features for many popular social media sites. Below I’ve compiled a list of social media news that I saw had the biggest affect on my friends and clients in Dallas and the rest of the United States. Find out what you may have missed, plus get a heads up on the changes and social media trends to watch for in 2012.
1. Facebook Redesigned Your News Feed

Right now, there is a bar in Dallas that has a fresh stack of this most glorious Guinness beer coaster with a QR code on it. Initially it caught my eye because I am researching uses of QR codes, but when I read the fine print to see what I’d get for scanning it, suddenly, it had my full attention—and not in a good way.
Let’s count how many different instructions are included before they mention the correct use of a QR code:
QR Code #FAIL
Scan My Business Card
QR codes are a great way to get actionable info into your customers' hands (mobile phones). They make it easy to click to web sites and social profiles, get directions to your store, and call or email you.
Try it: scan our QR code with the free i-nigma app. Preview the results.
