Opinion: Marketers should be skeptical of Meerkat and Periscope
The buzz surrounding video-streaming services such as Meerkat and Periscope was premature, and driven largely by tech journalists rather than consumer interest, Ken Wheaton writes. That suggests marketers are right to take a wait-and-see approach to the platforms, Wheaton writes. Advertising Age (free access for SmartBrief readers) (4/7)

Facebook can play role in depression, study says
People who spend more time on Facebook have a greater likelihood to become depressed, a study in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology says. Facebook isn't the cause itself, but rather that the social comparisons the network enables can feed people's insecurities, lead author Mai-Ly Steers says. The Washington Post (tiered subscription model) (4/7)

Marketer Moments

Hostess riles up Twitter with intentional sports mix-up
Hostess is receiving the publicity it had hoped after making an intentional mistake on Twitter. The brand tweeted about the start of baseball season and referenced a "touchdown," and later followed up on the joke with a reference to "Sportsball." Hostess spokeswoman Ellen Copaken said the mistake was "fun and aimed at young audiences who are in on the running joke -- which, of course, is the goalllll." Business Insider (4/6)

Platform News

Twitter retweet button lets users sidestep character limit
Twitter has launched a "Retweet with comment" feature, which lets users retweet messages at the touch of a button. Links shared through the feature don't count toward the 140-character limit, letting users post longer comments about the messages they share. TechCrunch (4/6)

Measurement Matters

The difference between Twitter and Instagram hashtags
The #Ferguson hashtag was used very differently on Twitter and Instagram last month as a federal report came out on police conduct concerning the Michael Brown shooting, a Pew analysis says. Twitter users deployed the hashtag to discuss news surrounding the case, while Instagram users tended to use the tag to link the news thematically to other topics. Pew Research Center (4/6)

Social Shareable

What's that sound?
The world is full of strange noises, and some inexplicable sounds have become famous in their own right over the years. Among the weirdest cited in this roundup: the "Bloop," heard around the world in 1997; the "Hum," heard intermittently by a subset of the population; and the "52-Hertz Whale," thought to be the song of a whale singing at a much higher pitch than its fellow cetaceans.

If people are there, marketers will follow. But as I keep trying to point out, tech media aren't 'people.' "
