The July 2010 edition includes updates on the following topics:

• Facebook’s upgrade to its Insights analytics dashboard for Page administrators and app developers. Pages are becoming an increasingly important part of marketing campaigns for brands, celebrities, and large and small businesses. Facebook’s upgraded Insights tool now enables Page administrators to more closely track and respond to key campaign stats for optimized performance.
• Privacy and the future of sharing on Facebook. Facebook has recently launched changes to privacy controls that impact how users share and interact with information on the site. We review these changes in terms of what they could mean for Page owners and marketers.
• Social plugins. Facebook’s five social plugins have achieved strong adoption rates since being announced at the company’s developer conference this year. Along with its Open Graph protocol, these plugins are designed to help websites boost virality and user engagement by leveraging Facebook’s existing services. The Like button, the Activity Stream plugin, the Recommendations plugin, the Facebook Login plugin, and the Social Bar plugin each have the potential of changing how your users interact with your website, and how your website gains distribution on Facebook. We take a close look at each of these plugins and how brands and sites can make the most of them.

Facebook Credits are intended to decrease transaction friction and increase the volume and quality of transactions in Facebook’s gift store and for apps on its platform. We deliver an overview of the Credits system, including what widespread adoption could mean for brand marketers as well as developers.
