After weeks of speculation and rumors, Google has officially pulled back the curtain on what they have come to call Project Glass - a pair of augmented reality glasses that seek to provide users real-time information right in front of their eyes.

In order to track what is being pinned from your site, and to engage with those pins further, try funneling that Pinterest content into a handy RSS feed.

"They are essential skills that are needed to operate in the world and in the workplace," she said. "And people will either need to learn through formal training or through their networks or they will feel increasingly left out."

"And as the number of social networking sites grows, so does the number of services that are created to measure, track and monitor those services. What's a marketing professional to do? To help you cut through the clutter, here are the 10 must-use social media tools that can not only help you make sense of your social media efforts but make them more effective."

"It's the cornerstone of any successful Internet business. We all need information to learn what techniques are currently working. Without it; you'll get left behind."

In social media, sharing means reposting the content of others (always with a clear link back to them!) or recommending others to your followers. It's no secret that one of the keys to success in building a good following on social media is good sharing skills.

"London Fashion Week kicked off Friday - and fortunately for those of us outside the ropes at Somerset House, brands and media are making the week more accessible than ever before."

"Since Seth Weintraub of 9 to 5 Google first leaked news of "Google Glasses" in December, a steady trickle of information on the top secret project has been filtering out."

"Google announced that Google+ has 40 million users today. Woo-hoo! That's nearly half what Twitter claims, right? And while it's below Facebook's 800 million, Google's getting there, right? Wrong. The number simply can't be compared to Facebook and Twitter."

"How many real connections do Twitter users have? Not just silent following, not retweeting, not a stray @ message to someone, but a real back-and-forth conversation.

"After the social networking sand settled with Facebook on top over the last half decade, the social behemoth seemed untouchable. Twitter, far behind in second place, wasn't a direct competitor for a while, since it focused on public conversation and Facebook mostly targeted private, friends-only conversations.

This is primarily because many businesses tend to create and then abandon their social media profiles."

Our industry is afflicted with shiny object syndrome, a focus on the new tools, without thinking about the content that will drive it. As we mature and the tools make it easier to share information, companies need to be extra sensitive to the content that will be shared, both that's created by the brand, and the customer.

"Enter mobile visual search (MVS). With MVS, you simply point at a product or logo and shoot a picture with your smartphone's built-in camera. Within seconds, the MVS application will provide product or company information, or even the option to make a purchase right then and there on your mobile device. "
