Just last month, Instagram rolled out some Snapchat-like features in an effort to make it even more desirable for heavy users. More recently, Instagram added business features (that are easy to implement) that can help small business owners even if they are light users.
Inaugural Lehigh Valley with Love Comedy Fest Presented by Never Again Radio to Bring in the Laughs
Comedy Festival slated for August 11 at The Ice House in Bethlehem
BETHLEHEM, PA (August 6, 2016) – The Ice House on River Street in Bethlehem will transform into a laugh factory on August 11 during the Inaugural Lehigh Valley with Love Comedy Fest with shows at 7 and 9 p.m.
The Comedy Fest is presented by Never Again Radio and is the first of its kind in the Lehigh Valley, and will feature a showcase of comedic talent from New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and the Greater Lehigh Valley.
“We’re very excited to be bringing some laughs to the Valley this year,” said George Wacker, owner of Lehigh Valley with Love Media. “Giving the Lehigh Valley something a bit different and unique that week is going to be special. And hilarious!”
Instagram will begin rolling out an update that will add some very Snapchat-like features in coming weeks.
Of course, Instagram isn’t saying publicly that they are copying one of Snapchat’s best features, but they are. And, hey, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. Social media platforms have always borrowed ideas from each other in an effort to stay relevant.
Do you own a small business? Good.
Do you know everything about Pokemon Go? Nope? Well, thankfully, that doesn’t matter.
Facebook’s changes, whether they include algorithm updates or modifications to your news feed, always cause an initial bit of uproar until people forget about them.
Let’s face it, you’ll be a bit annoyed for awhile, but as long as you’re still able to easily share photos and moments and connect with your friends, most of these changes only result in Facebook page account administrators needing to work a bit harder to get their content noticed.
Lehigh Valley with Love Media is looking for an intern interested in social media, video production; photography; blog and public relations writing; general business operations; and possibly flagging down ice cream trucks when needed.
A few months ago, we reported that Facebook may have been making changes to their 20 percent ad rule, which states that any images with more than 20 percent text in them are not eligible for boosting.
At that time, a European site had made claims that the rule seemed to be relaxed, allowing for images with more than 20 percent text in them to be boosted, however, with a warning that they may not reach as many people as a photo with less than 20 percent text.
Unfortunately, no one else was able to verify this claim so, it remained that, just a claim.
However, new information directly from the source itself…
Effective, smooth, real-time, and verbose communication is key when it comes to getting things done in the current work climate. It doesn’t matter if you’re a hair salon, book store, bar and restaurant, or a boutique new media company like us, without proper communication between employees, things don’t get done and blame gets pointed all around.
In the spirit of the upcoming Food Truck Border Brawl (PA vs NJ) at SteelStacks on June 11, we asked 10 residents from Pennsylvania or New Jersey to debate which state is better.

Snapchat. You’ve heard about it. You probably thought, at least for a little bit, that it was only for sending racy pictures.
But, now all of your employees are using it. Your mom is using it. Your 10-year-old daughter is using it (under adult supervision.)
So, what the heck is Snapchat and why are so many people using it and how can it help you, the small business owner?
Social media trends are important because the easier it is for users to get involved, the easier it is for businesses to get them involved.
For example, if you’re in the retail space and your main demographic is women aged 35 to 55 years of age, Pinterest is going to be a good spot for you to share some of your product links. Why? Because women aged 35 to 55 years of age seem to enjoy Pinterest.
We had the pleasure of working with The Selkie Theatre for the upcoming performance of “Casa Valentina” at the Ice House in Bethlehem, PA.
Watch the video below and attend one of their shows. More information and tickets: 484-212-1804 / theatreselkie@gmail.com
“Casa Valentina” runs May 6 – 15.
We all know that Uber lets riders rate their drivers on a five star scale. Does your Uber driver smell like onions? Minus a star. Were they late? Minus two stars. Were they listening to “Spoons” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis? ZERO STARS!
However, did you know that Uber drivers can also rate their riders? It’s true. And we want to know what your score is.
The year was 1999 and a Dutch filmmaker took to the streets to ask if people had mobile phones.
The answers were a resounding, “No” and “Why would I need one” and “I have an answering machine at home. I’ll call when I get back.”
Anyone who has boosted a post on Facebook from a Facebook page knows the frustration that can come from the “20 Percent Rule.” In an effort to keep everyone’s Facebook news feeds looking less cluttered and attractive (among other reasons) Facebook restricts boosted posts to those with images featuring 20 percent or less of text.
The benefit of this rule is that users see less “meme based” advertising and more quality images. In short, the rule forces advertisers to be a bit more creative in their efforts than by simply putting up the latest picture of Grumpy Cat with a sardonic quip in Impact font.
So, is that rule finally going away?
