- Social Media Is Becoming Useful, Finally
- by Gustavo Razzetti. ClickZ, August 3, 2012. "In one of my recent columns, I addressed how Pinterest has succeeded by creating a space in between Facebook and Google: balancing a "cry for attention" with "utility." And when I mentioned Google, I was actually referring to the search component, not to its social media tool (Google+). It's because then I wasn't aware of Clipboard (privately beta-launched by end of 2011). This new social media tool - backed by Index, Andreessen Horowitz, and CrunchFund - was opened to the public in May 2012. Clipboard is now looking to turn social media into something useful... Clipboard's solution seems pretty easy. It allows people to pull and save parts of the web that they care about with the ability to share them as well..."

- Social media pages are 'ads'
- by Julian Lee, The Age, August 6, 2012. "A ruling that Facebook is an advertising medium - and not just a way to communicate - will force companies to vet comments posted by the public to ensure they are not sexist, racist or factually inaccurate. In a move that could change the nature of the social networking site forever, companies could be fined or publicly shamed for the comments that appear on their Facebook ''brand'' pages..."
