Facebook continues to roll out its redesigned messages product: including a new layout, improved photo uploads and keyboard shortcuts among other changes.

6 opportunities for Facebook’s new “want” button

Facebook recently rolled out the “want” button to select merchants.  iMediaConnection discusses six big opportunities for Facebook.

Create a Facebook “want” page: This page would aggregate all “want” related information, from what you “wanted,” to related product and service information, specials, promotions, sharing, as well as a link to online retailers.

Extend “want” to online retailers’ shopping sites: This allows the merchant to communicate with customers across multiple channels — including mobile.

“Want” as a performance-based social affiliate: Based on the tagging and any action that the person would take, the advertising would be able to understand the attributed value of the “want” and pay Facebook for the action.

Coupons, specials, and even group buying: I might “want” something, but most online shoppers don’t want to pay retail. Then, when products come on sale or promotions are offered, the Facebook user would be alerted.

Foursquare Explore Is Now a Search Tool Anyone Can Use

Starting today, Foursquare is opening up Explore to people who aren’t registered users, meaning anyone can use the tool to discover local recommendations right off its redesigned homepage. This also means Foursquare is about to make a direct play to win over a new audience that extends much further than its current 25 million users, who are currently making one million search queries a day. Making Explore available to anyone, regardless of if they’ve ever used Foursquare, helps extend Foursquare’s potential reach and, ultimately, helps it posit itself as less of a social-based check-in service and more of an all-purpose local search tool to rival efforts from Google, Bing, and Yelp.
