Previously, articles pinned on Pinterest only contained photos from the article with a link at the bottom. (Users who wanted to include the article title or description had to add it manually.)

“We’re always looking for ways to make pins more useful so that when you discover and pin something great, it’s easy to act on it, whether that’s cooking a dish, watching a movie, buying a new gadget or reading an article,” Jon Parise, a software engineer at Pinterest, wrote on the company’s blog.

Pinterest is hoping that the change will encourage more users to pin and share articles they find interesting. The new updates could also encourage more media outlets to utilize Pinterest as a tool to promote content with
readers like they do with Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

Pinterest says that users are pinning five million articles to the site per day and many use reading boards to save articles to consume at a later time. As of Tuesday, the new feature will only work with articles from a small number of publications, including Mashable, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker. Pinterest plans to expand the feature to all article pins “shortly after that,” according to a company spokesperson.

The new update will also roll out on mobile “soon,” per Pinterest’s blog post.

We’ve seen it on MTV’s Catfish. People pretend to be someone their not on Facebook, make another person fall in love with them and potentially ruin the relationship they have found themselves in. Seems to be a bit fishy… I don’t know why people hide behind a photo and are afraid to be who they are. When you look around there are so many different ads, books, and websites that influence you be yourself and love the person you are inside and out. No one should be hiding behind the computer screen. Embrace who you are and forget about the fake profile!

Businesses even buy fake fans & followers to help boost their popularity on their Social Media sites. By getting these high numbers, the account shows an indication of power over other pages and makes you feel like you need to follow the business as well. I get it, you want to get a lot of people to follow you on Twitter and Facebook, but do they really have to buy these followers to achieve it?

Some Social media agencies on the other hand create compelling content to engage current fans and inspire them to share out material. They help to increase a company’s fan volume organically. Why can’t businesses do the same?

It seems as if Turkey has kind of the right idea. The country is cracking down on fake users and banning the opening of “fake” Social Media accounts. Its government is trying to regulate online activity and attempting to stop various protests that have been going on. Turkish people are using Facebook and Twitter to protest against the government and their Prime Minister believes that Social Media is the key element to plot against him. He obviously wants to stop this from happening and is doing everything he legally can to do it… Ok, users from Turkey may not be pulling a catfish or try to buy fake fans &  follower for a business, but the issue of “fake profiles” is seen everywhere!

Twitter has been really trying to crack down on their fake users as well. Digitrock helps you out by auditing  to figure out who is phony and who is real. Digitrock will allow you to see if your fans & followers are real, fake, or inactive. Digitrock also help you to find out whether a friend is fake or not. However, WikiHow explains a couple of ways to investigate and see if someone is phony. Basically, be aware of who you accept as a friend, read their profile, see who their friends are and be alert for instances when they may post something weird. It’s up to you to figure out who is real and fake throughout these sites. Check it out and see how many of your friends or followers aren’t real!
