Having announced it in September last year, Facebook is about to launch a new method of interacting with content, brands and apps called "Actions". An example of this is that instead of just "Liking" a pair shoes on a site you can now say that you "Own" own. This presents a plethora of opportunities for more meaningful brand-consumer engagement but as Forbes says, it isn't quite ready for the prime time advertising yet.  We're keeping tabs on this so do talk to us if you think your brand should be more than just "liked".

This is an quirky attempt by some engineers at Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to improve Google+'s search results relevance using Google's search algorithm on itself. It's a bit like the film Inception really because it basically searches with Google+ and then Googles the search results with Google. Googleception. It's a neat idea anyway and they've made a handy bookmarklet that you can drag to your bookmarks tab to try it out for yourself.
