Given the number of social networks available, the number of friends on each of them, and the fact that you have to also work, not spend all day on social media, it is sometimes hard to keep up with news from friends. Newly launched EverySignal is a newly launched app that sends you daily alerts about interesting things happening in your friends’ lives, thus enabling you to get rid of embarrassing moments and replicas like “But I posted on Facebook/Twitter”.

Private Facebook users are given a 'Promote' button next to the ones for 'Share' and 'Like,' where they're given the option to pay $7 to make sure that a post reaches a higher percentage of their friends by bumping it up in news feeds and making it stick around longer.

The law is proposed by the Movement for Socialism party and they say they hope to push through Bolivia's Congress.

Probably any marketer will tell you how important what they do is for a business. And people would agree as a new study shows. 94% of consumers and 98% of marketers consider marketing as essential to businesses, and nine out of ten people see marketing as paramount to driving sales. Yet only 13% of the people interviewed consider that marketing benefits society, and 53% of them think that generally marketing is “a bunch of B.S.”.
