A custom URL is a short, easy-to-remember web address that links directly to your profile or page. For example, YouTube's Google+ page can direct people to google.com/+YouTube to visit their page rather than  https://plus.google.com/b/100034778445873030823/100034778445873030823/about . If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can get a custom URL for your Google+ account or page. This means you can choose one of the custom URLs Google preassigns to your Google+ profile or page. Depending on the preassigned custom URL, you may also need to add a few letters or numbers to make it unique to you. Custom URLs must be used in compliance with the Google+ User Content and Conduct policies and Google+ custom URLs terms of use. Requirements for getting a custom URL Before you can get a custom URL, your account needs to be in good standing and meet the following requirements: Eligibility for People: Ten or more followers Your account is 30 days old or more A profile photo ...

Facebook has made another step that follows in the footsteps of Twitter and Instagram. After recently implementing hashtags that organize statuses for discovery outside of a page, Facebook has now made their posts embeddable. What exactly does this mean? If you have a website or blog, you can now link to Facebook posts, pictures, videos and other content, and the Facebook content will be connected with your site. In the past, there were ways to embed Facebook posts to your site, but they were messy and typically involved using a third-party tool. By making this important update, Facebook makes it monumentally easier for a broad range of users to embed posts, since the feature will be built into Facebook – eliminating the need for these third party tools. While this feature is great for bloggers and site-owners, it will also help increase Facebook’s traffic as well! Right now, there are only a handful of sites allowed to use the Facebook embed feature. These include Mash...

In July, Google shared that it was working on a new tool called Helpouts , which will serve as a sort of virtual marketplace where every type of business can sell their services through live video. This type of tool is exciting for business-owners, since it could create dozens of new ways to connect with customers. The idea of selling products or services over live video may be appealing and exciting to some, but if your business belongs to a unique niche or you don’t think “real-time commerce” is for you, Helpouts will still offer a variety of other capabilities that can benefit you. Google wants the Helpouts to also serve as a place for experts to share their knowledge to help viewers learn. With the popularity of e-commerce sites like Amazon and eBay, it’s not a surprise that Google would want to take a stab at their own online marketplace. However, the main, and most promising, difference will be Google’s use of their cloud services to offer live commerce in real-time. ...
