Every week we dive into this week’s social media news, providing you with real (and amusing) insight into this dynamic industry.
What’s happening this week?
One YouTube creator tells Facebook — and the world — exactly what he thinks about the platform’s video view policies, Twitter partners with Shopify, and Instagram steps up its marketing game.

Say what? Watch Social Marketing Cluster Facts. Turn it on. Turn it up.
