In this week’s #MMSocialReport — Twitter is becoming the best method of getting in contact with CEOs, Facebook takes internet stalking to the next level, Disney’s research team is making sure your phone never dies again, and… just when you thought you’d heard the last of him, MySpace Tom is back with a vengeance.
1. Why Tech CEOs Are Turning to Twitter for Product Feedback
by @visioncritical via @B2Community
With Twitter’s in-the-moment posting, many CEOs are going to the social media platform for direct feedback on their businesses. This type of “social media listening” has emerged as a new and extremely effective method of getting timely customer feedback, but is it the best way to harness this customer feedback?

The man with the most friends on Myspace still looks the same. And it’s because he’s never changed his profile picture on any of his social media in the last 14 years .

Quasistatic cavity resonance might just save lives. Literally. This Disney developed tech method has the ability to turn an entire room into a universal wireless charging area, putting the days of dead and dying phones in the past.
5. Instagram’s carousel-style photo sets are now available to all
Instagram’s long teased new feature is finally out! Users will now be able to post up to to 10 photos, videos, or combination of the both in one post. With this feature previously only available to advertisers, will it catch on with everyday users or just fizzle out as another extraneous feature?
