So let’s start this off by saying the mild and spring-like weather was excellent this week. Aside from the fact that the change from 30’s to 70’s got me sick, who could ask for anything more. On the SM side of things, I attended a Social Media Club event last night and got some pretty good content that will be spun into a post early next week and on the viral side of things OfficeMax launched their annoying Elf Yourself. Let’s see how many impressions they get this year.

How to ask for help and not look stupid – Now this is one article I wish I would have seen growing up and coming into my own. Asking for help is one of the toughest things to do. Most times we look dumb, leave it to the snoodiest of the snoody universities to offer advice that can work for everyone.

Russia’s news agency allegedly looking to rebrand Stalin – This story was hot in the early part of the week. To be honest, from a country looking to spin its great leader into a positive light, it’s not a bad idea. While it may work in white-wash fashion in the communist country – instilling some pride in their history. The downside for them is that the rest of the world will still associate him with Hitler and WWII no matter what the spin is.

Help! My Boss is on Twitter – This one comes by way of Sarah Evan’s Commentz and offers a stroll through memory lane of bad Twitter examples and Oh, no she didn’ts. With more and more folks heading into relationships in the socialsphere the tips mentioned in the article are worth taking a look at for S&G or a brush-up.

The future of marketing – @tdefren offers some great insight into the future of marketing along with the SM space overall. Be sure to check out the examples section which has some unique insights.

Content is not king – It was only a few weeks ago that I was sitting in the IMS 09 hall hearing about how Content was the king of blogs and social media. Fast forward a few weeks and the show’s head honcho, Chris Brogan, is tossing the idea on its head with this blog posting. Short, sweet and to the point, but also revealing a flaw in the initial notion that content ruled on its own without the authors.

This week’s #followfriday was brought to you by the letter F.
