This is the first post in a new weekly series that will provide a roundup of the top articles, news updates and important content from the week prior.
Last week we saw a few major updates such as Facebook first adding new ad options, then merging ads manager and power editor into one tool, and finally eliminating major ad targeting options. Then we saw Instagram upgrade their ad options and add the ability for people to share other’s stories via direct message. Snapchat also tried to impress us with their new 3D Bitmoji filter.
All important developments, but what were the most-read updates from SMT?
