Since Facebook acquired Instagram two years ago, we haven t seen much change in the product (besides the controversial Terms of Service update ). Finally, Instagram stepped up this week and started rolling out a helpful Facebook-esque feature: the ability to tag specific Instagram users within photos. Users could previously tag brands, friends, or followers within yom kippur the caption of each post, but now users can tag users within photos themselves -- just like they could in a Facebook photo. At the same time, Instagram released a new section of the profile called Photos of You, where all the photos tagged of you are located.

Based on Foursquare users' check-in data, advertisers will be able to better target their ads to users outside the Foursquare app. Foursquare will be selling its aggregated check-in data to ad exchanges to help them retarget users on third-party platforms, such as Facebook s FBX.
The second product, called Post Check-In Units, will launch in late June or early July. Based on a cost-per-click (CPC) basis, Post Check-In Units will contextually serve ads immediately after users check in to a location. Marketers yom kippur will be able to use these Post Check-In Units to engage users with ads that are relevant to their current location -- a great promotion opportunity for brick-and-mortar shops, lifestyle brands, and restaurants. Since the algorithm for this type of ad will focus heavily on click performance, marketers should use strong calls-to-action within the ads to better engage users. With over 50 million monthly unique visitors and 3.5 billion check-ins, Foursquare could be a promising source for advertising data. Read more at Marketing Land.
