Indy 500’s Instagram Campaign

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is teaming up with social media management platform Venueseen for an Instagram campaign.

The hashtag, #Indy500orBust, is “intended to capture the overall experience and history of the race,” ClickZ reports.

With the help of Venueseen, Indy will post photos of tagged fan images from races. Then, the photos will appear, plotted, on a map on a microsite. The brand has no launch date for this campaign as of yet.

Facebook’s Graph Search and Site Changes

Business2Community’s Sam Sudano writes about Facebook Graph Search and how it aims to compete with Google.

The search, which is in beta stages, will let users search on the social media site for photos, places, people, and business pages. It’s also going to allow users to see anything people have shared with them on the site, along with “public content from non-connections.” CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, ““It’s interesting because most people today don’t think about Facebook as a place to discover places they could go eat, or things that they could go do, but with this product, it’s so natural to be able to do that.”

Tumblr’s Buzzwords Blog

Todd Wasserman of Mashable reports that a new Tumblr blog, Behind the Buzzwords, illustrates buzzwords from 2013.

The project is being produced by CreativeFeed, a marketing firm, and features words like collaborative consumption, crowdsourcing, The Internet of Things, and longtail.
