Reviews: Twitter's Periscope is a worthy challenger to Meerkat
The streaming application Meerkat, which was a hit at South by Southwest, faces strong competition from Twitter's Periscope, which was released Thursday, and various marketers and media types have given the early nod to Periscope. "Right now, we definitely like Periscope better. The main difference between Meerkat and Periscope is that Periscope broadcasts can be watched for up to 24 hours after they end," said Sam Sheffer, The Verge's social media manager. Adweek (3/26)

Why companies should pay attention to private sharing
Most sharing takes place through private media such as e-mail and messaging, and as such gets missed by standard network-based analytics, writes Tamas Torok.

Tecate used Facebook program to reach 93% of its target audience
Heineken-owned Tecate's 2014 holiday marketing effort on Facebook reached 93% of its target audience, with each person averaging 10 views across the videos and ads. The campaign, called #Manfidence, used Facebook's Anthology program to target Hispanic-Americans ages 21 to 34. "It really, really connected with consumers.

YouTube is sticking with its successful 2014 sales strategy
YouTube will essentially use the same pitch as last year at the 2015 NewFronts, largely because last year's strategy worked so well. Last year's emphasis on selling Google Preferred, which focuses on the top 5% of YouTube channels, led to inventory being nearly sold out by October. This year will include minor tweaks to the strategy, including bringing awareness to the other 95% of its channels. Advertising Age (free access for SmartBrief readers) (3/26)

"These shoppers on Twitter are also engaged: they're 160% more likely to stay up-to-date on brand news and promotions, 120% more likely to search for deals and sales and 240% more likely to converse with a brand than retail shoppers on the average social network," Twitter's Angie Ficek says.
