Brand pinners, rejoice! Pinterest is doing you a solid as of today by adding fields for more information on product, movie and recipe pins.

-Product pins for things like clothes and furniture with pricing, availability, and where to buy (updated every day!)

-Recipe pins from your favorite bloggers and websites that include cook time, ingredients, and servings

-Movie pins with content ratings, cast members, and more

Pinterest says that icon under the photo means there’s more info. I couldn’t get it to work, so maybe it hasn’t fully integrated across the whole site yet. You also have to be using the “new” Pinterest design in order to see them. If you haven’t switched, look for the “Get it Now” link above your home feed. Once you switch, you’ll find all kinds of new information.

Hey, in case you haven’t heard, the rumor is now the truth: Yahoo! has purchased Tumblr.

You can read about it and all the predictions, cheers, jeers and whatever just about anywhere in the Internet industry press mainly because there is not much else going on.

In looking at the various reports that have tried to make sense of the purchase there is no more interesting than Yahoo’s own post on Tumblr which says,

I’m delighted to announce that we’ve reached an agreement to acquire Tumblr!

We promise not to screw it up. Tumblr is incredibly special and has a great thing going. We will operate Tumblr independently. David Karp will remain CEO. The product roadmap, their team, their wit and irreverence will all remain the same as will their mission to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve. Yahoo! will help Tumblr get even better, faster.

The news was flying fast and furious out of the Google I/O event yesterday. If you missed Matt McGee’s live blogging you missed more than a few chuckles but hey, that’s the way the Google Glass crumbles (yup, that was awful).

As we often do here at Marketing Pilgrim, we will turn over some of the reporting to Google itself regarding changes in Google+. Until these changes are realized by all it seems pointless to analyze or predict what they do or don’t mean. Besides, my crystal ball is in the shop following it’s prediction that Justin Timberlake would make MySpace relevant again.

So here is a series of videos to bring you up to speed on the new and improved Google+. Enjoy.

First up from the Google+ blog post about the changes covers

A multi-column layout. You’ll see one, two, or three columns of content depending on your screen size and orientation.

Awesome-sized media. Photos and videos can fill the entire width of the stream, making it easier to scan, and nicer to look at.

Delightful animations. The sharebox bounces, the menus slide, and the cards flip and fade — just to name a few.

Next up is a look at related hashtag implementation
