Teen Enthusiasm For Facebook Wanes - One in four online teens use Twitter, up from 16% in 2011. Teens spend less time on Facebook to avoid their parents and other adults as well as rampant "oversharing."
You've Already Pinned That - Pinterest has been listening to their users and finally rolled out a new feature that notifies you if you have already pinned an image and tells you where you have pinned it. You can still pin the image but it's a nice notification.
Twitter Released New Ads - Twitter started testing a new "lead-generation" ad that looks like a Groupon-style daily deal. Advertisers can offer Twitter users discounts/deals and anyone who wants to claim it can do so with a simple click of a button.
