Five for Friday

The first week back in the office went without a hitch and flew by. Only thing I could have asked for was a “W” from the local nine who started the season 0-6 before 183/365 - opening day!heading into a weekend series with the Yankees, but it is the home opener so we shall see. I have faith and am hoping the game I head to on Tuesday isn’t their first tick on the positive ledger. How was your week? Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy this week’s edition of Five for Friday.

How PR People are Destroying Social Media – While I don’t agree with everything that Brian Carter says in this post, his rant does point out the areas that usually clog up innovation in terms of institutionalizing social media as a way of adding value to their job. Take this with a grain of salt to get to the meat and potatoes.

AVEs are a Scurge on Public Relations. Can I Get a Witness? – you should read this article from Chuck Hemann if you are in PR or hate PR. This is a nice response to a reckless article published earlier in the week.

Building Your Online Community – How did you build your online community? Was it Twitter, Facebook a forum? Would you believe that a top blogger on the AdAge 150 list utilized hand written notes? Read along to find out who. Also be sure to check out Mitch Joel’s post for a 360 degree view.

12 Perfectly Ordinary Words That Suddenly Have New Meaning – I cannot tell a lie ~ I like words, a lot. So when I see a post that talks about word evolutions, I feel like it’s my duty to share it. So check out this great post from Ann Handley.

What Mashable Isn’t Telling You About Facebook – As many of you know, numbers can be made to say anything. When they are put out by a company that bolsters their product offering, well you need to take them with a grain of salt. Good to see a counterpoint to a fluff piece printed earlier this week.

    Opening day?! Jeez you guys are behind. I feel kind of badly for Red Sox fans. it hasn’t been a great season so far. 🙁

    I’d add the discussion over at mitchjoel blog on building on online community so your readers get a full picture and can make an informed decision on, specifically, their blogging goals.

    There are a lot of grains of salt I have to take by reading some of these. OK. I’m ready!

    @ginidietrich mitchjoel Yeah but they’ll be fine. I will amend the post now with Mitch’s post on there. You know I had a lot of that salt taking this week, but the articles were good when reading them if you remove the emotion of being so entrenched with the industry.
