So before I drop the week’s edition of Five for Friday on you, I will ask that you send some well wishes to my pal Kate Ottavio. Kate is competing for the crown of Miss Connecticut this weekend and I’d like to see if we could send some good vibes her way to help her win. She has told me that kidnapping a judge was out of the question since there is no fan voting. Now with that out of the way, even though the week was a good one, I am looking forward to the weekend. Tomorrow morning, I’ll be heading out early for a road trip to Citi Field to check out the Mets’ new digs with some tailgating beforehand. Any big plans for you? Here’s this week’s edition of Five for Friday.

Pitches, Not Rolodexes, Matter – In this post, Heather Whaling (@prtini) uses a real-world example of using skill in pitching to land a client over someone with “everyone on speed dial). This is a must read and something that we should all take into consideration as we look to hone our craft.

Saving Chevrolet Means Sending ‘Chevy’ to Dump – My boss passed this along on Tuesday morning. Now while I am no brand expert, the move still shocks the hell out of me. Chevy is as American as apple pie and well you would expect it to be something that stays (especially given its place in our lexicon). We’re in a day and age where things are being shortened like KFC and FedEx, why go for the long drawn out name?

Social Media usage worldwide: Australia / Brazil lead the way – If I were to name social media consumption by country, Australia and Brazil would not be on the top of my list. But then again, numbers have never been my strength. But the numbers look more from other past surveys and this makes sense.

Putting the I in Social Media – We all know that there are no I’s in team, but did you know that there are four I’s in Social Media? We all know that I can’t count, but Danny Brown puts four I’s in a row to make a great case for things to ask yourself before entering the space and making it happen.

Social Media Can’t Save Your Business – Zach Cohen makes a lot of good points in this piece. While the target is really the small business owner it also applies to larger businesses as well. Social media is something that is a support the business medium, not an end all be all silver bullet.

Also since Smirnoff has taken down the Bros Icing Bros site, here are some of the better YouTube videos of the meme.
