LinkedIn introduced lead gen forms: Want to generate leads from sponsored content on mobile? LinkedIn just made the task easier by launching lead generation forms, an effortless way to collect quality leads for your business from sponsored campaigns.

Twitter released ‘Share Location’ feature via DMs: Using Twitter’s Direct Message platform, businesses can now request and share locations with individual customers. In this increasing trend of bots, Twitter added this new human element to direct messaging and made it easier for businesses to tailor their responses and interactions with customers.

YouTube removes ads from channels with fewer than 10K views: The platform announced that it will no longer serve ads on YouTube Partner Program videos until the channel reaches 10k lifetime views. It considers this to be an appropriate threshold to determine the validity of a channel and confirm if a channel is following YouTube’s community guidelines and advertiser policies.
