This was a busy quick week that saw me go bald, work get done on a collaboration project and some rain. I can also say that the week was also very humbling as the work we’ve been doing in social media for Vistaprint is really starting to get noticed and grow at an awesome clip so I am giving myself a pat on the back for that one. Good to see that people appreciate the effort. So I also saw firsthand another great example of the power of Twitter. Long-story short Citibank dropped the ball looking into getting the fraud that happened with my account. After a profanity-laced tirade and a more civil Tweet/phone conversation, I now have the money back and the folks over there are going to let me know what they find out. So kudos to Rick and Susie, with that said, I will share this week’s Five for Friday.

The Importance of Content in Social Media – This is a video post from my friend Bob Cargill. He stresses the importance of creating content and SM not being something that you can just set and forget. Definitely worth peeping out the work from Bob and his son.

IKEA wants you to miss the first train – IKEA may have out done themselves with this campaign. Not only is the ad timely and comfortable, but it is the perfect way to showcase their products. Many of the people living in a city are renting and what better way to get cheap furniture than by sitting on it? My only question to this is how often do they clean the upholstery?

Who Should “Control” Social Media Within a Company? – Anyone who knows me in any shape or form knows that this topic is one that I am passionate about. So needless to say check it out for all three sides of the equation as well as some interesting commentary. I didn’t comment because I don’t feel comments deem a 24-hour waiting period. I am not buying a gun.

Facebook blames for rise of syphilis in UK – The sky is falling, the sky is falling and its all the internet’s fault. Seriously it is headlines like these that just crack me up. Could the rise in STDs just be more people having unprotected sex? Wait that would be too easy, let’s just make an excuse so we feel better about ourselves. News at 11 – Twitter causes herpes and Myspace responsible for gonorrhea rise.

How to add analytics to your Facebook page – This is an interesting piece that I saw in my feeds on Wednesday on improving Facebook’s notoriously slow and restricting analytics. While I am in the process of working with my company’s SEO dudes to get this figured out, it looks pretty cool and is a major improvement over the 48-hour lull with FB’s info.

Bonus – Candidates’ kids help out on Twitter.
