Disclaimer Time• Be very aware of what is said online. • Agents have to adhere to at least four sets of compliance

standards when it comes to social media: state real estate commission policies, NAR’s Code of Ethics, their broker’s policy, and the social media website’s terms of service. 

• Posts or comments that attack or threaten other people, language that could be taken as defamation, and statements that reveal information about a transaction are issues of concern. There are also issues related to appropriate use of advertising and intellectual property infringement.

giving some users the ability to choose people or pages whose posts would always show up at the top of their News Feed.

relevant with better targeting (a strategy imported from parent Facebook); by working with select Facebook Marketing Partners to bring more advertisers onto its platform through the company’s ads application programming interface.

Pinterest is allowing Buyable Pins

is ensuring the utmost safety and security of users’ vulnerable info. Customers will only enter payment info and address once, and the app will ask to confirm password on major purchases.

• Pinterest has partnered with several top brands at launch, such as Macy’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. Through a partnership with Shopify, mid-size and smaller businesses such as including Madesmith and Poler Outdoor Stuff will also be able to sell directly to Pinners.

• Via Shopify, Pinterest is hoping to be able to offer this service to individual sellers and mom-and-pop stores — a possible Etsy combatant.

encrypted via the payment partner and shared with merchants.

Warning: Facebook ScamsCont.

• Once a user entered the credentials that were requested and clicked “Log In,” data is posted to recovery.php, and then users are redirected to this payment page, which asks for his/her full name, credit-card details and billing address.

• If you see posts on your feed that appear similar to the Facebook post we discussed here, whether it continues to bear the same URL or not, it’s best to ignore it and warn your network about an ongoing spam campaign.

Once the information is obtained, victims are brought to another false page, which reads (unedited):Thank you for contacting Facebook for Business.Please wait for reply message via email address.We have accepted your submission for approval, we will contact you shortly for your verification request, it may take up to 48h.Sincerely,Facebook for Business
