Flickr Increases Their Upload Limits

Photo sharing site Flickr just increased their file size limits for photo uploads. Pro users will see upload limits jump from 20mb per photo to 50mb per photo while free account users will see an increase from 15mb per photo to 30mb. This stems from the need for Flickr to stay relevant with Other sites like 500px annoucning that they will be increasing their limits to 60mb and Smugmug raising their cap to 50mb. With a slew of new high megapixel cameras hitting the market that often spit out Jpeg files in excess of 20mb, this is a welcome and needed change.

Unless you have been hiding under a rock, or just flat out ignoring social media, then you probably have heard of Google Plus, or G+ for short. It is hard to ignore the fact that this thing has grown incredibly quickly. 10 million users in just about 2 weeks, and that was when it was invite only.

Does your Facebook page have a landing page?

If you haven’t heard of Facebook then chances are you have been living under a rock. Facebook is probably the biggest thing to ever hit the web. It’s no wonder that so many businesses have taken to the pages of Facebook to promote their businesses. The question is; are you sure your Facebook page is doing everything it can to convert casual visitors into “fans”? Having people become a fan is important because, unlike a traditional website, you can engage people directly. If done correctly, you can use your Facebook fan network to build a strong community around your brand. Having a strong presence on Facebook is critical because as anyone in business knows, the money goes where the eyes are. At more than 500 million users worldwide, there is no shortage of eyes on Facebook.
