Google+ Profiles Can Now Support Panoramio Photos

Panoramio users are now allowed to export their photos onto their Google+ profiles.
Google+ Local will also feature Panoramio pictures that are connected with particular places to add a more in-depth aspect and to add more visibility to the photos.

Gerald Sanz, Community Manager at Panoramio, says that: “sharing your photos in Google+ will be easier than ever as by uploading your photos in Panoramio, you will automatically upload your photos in Google+, so you can get the best of both worlds.”

“Two years ago, we launched a feature that allowed all Panoramio users to import their photos from Picasa Web Albums into Panoramio so they could share them with the world via Google Maps and Google Earth.”
When exporting photos to Google+, users will be able to download security copies through via the Download your data link under the Google Accounts tab.

Will you be uploading your Panoramio pictures to your Google+ account?

Google Analytics Show Your Top Tweets With Campalyst

Campalyst, a tweet plugin by Google Analytics can help you find out which of your tweets generate the most traffic for your website, and from which users.
The plugin synthesizes very smoothly with Google Analytics which gives detailed information about your Twitter referral activity.
Although there is a free version of the plugin, it’s recommended that potential users of the service try out the Pro version. The free version gives data on ten tweets that have taken place within the past five days.

The free version searches the first ten tweets in Google Analytics from whatever time range has been selected. Most of the time these will be the top ten tweets by the number of visits that have been generated.
The Pro version of the software is not limited by certain restrictions of the free version and only costs $5 a month. For a how to guide, click here.
CEO and Co-founder of Campalyst, Jay Kazanins, says that they “will store resolved tweets from the day of their registration (only the tweet IDs are stored, no other data is passed from Google Analytics to our servers); thus, over time they will be able to look at a period longer than 5-7 days.”
When registering for the Pro version, users can select up to five different Google Analytics profiles (five different websites for example or all for the same site).

Campalyst say that they are just “trying to make the life of social media marketers easier and help them make data-driven decisions.”

What do you make of these analytics? Will you be using them?
