For investors seeking to invest in products and services they know and use daily, today’s snapshot gives insight into the social media and social networking sector.
Over the past year, investing in social media has been a risky endeavor with many social media companies having over inflated valuations, which have lead to unhappy investors and multiple lawsuits citing that the companies misled investors prior to their IPOs. However these same companies now show upward trends as shares swing to unpredictable highs from unprecedented lows as U.S. social media companies like Facebook, Google and Groupon saw the largest percentage upswings in short interest between the February 28 and March 15 settlement dates.

Google said it able to deliver goods to those testers from retailers including Target, Walgreens, Staples, American Eagle and Toys “R” Us, along with “locally distinct” retailers such as San Francisco ’s Blue Bottle Coffee.
Google is asking San Francisco residents or people who live between San Mateo and San Jose to register as a new tester. Registered testers get six months of free, unlimited same-day delivery.
