Welcome to the second installment of Five for Friday, hopefully you enjoy these stories that you may have missed.
Relief for Twitter headaches – Interesting piece from the Journal on Monday. As the wave of social media continues to grow, especially with Twitter it makes it increasingly difficult to manage and there is a need for better tools to help streamline the process. Co-Tweet is a service that I’ve been using for a while now and am glad to see that they are getting some good ink on their great product.
A social media strategy checklist – This one comes via @prsarahevans Commentz. The article asks the question that no company seems to want to ask (or understand) why are we jumping into social media & how should we be doing it?

Top 10 Kanye West Parodies – Our friends at Mashable definitely don’t disappoint with this photo montage of the week’s most over-publicized happening. But do you think Shaq would sit there and let him talk smack?
Phillies Dad-Daughter Share moment in the spotlight – OK if you haven’t seen the clip of the dad catching the ball at a Fighting Phils game, giving it to his

On top of all those things, the whole family gained an experience of a lifetime.
