My question to you to start this edition of Five for Friday is how is the temperature for you? Chances are if you live anywhere within the continental US, it is pretty darned hot today. This week was an interesting one as I sat looking at my friends being berated by fans of another blog and by a well-respected conference because they had the audacity to have their own opinion on Google+ and experts. And to be honest that is a damn shame. How was your week? Hopefully it was a good one. Have a safe weekend and stay cool.
‘Social Media Agency’: Fad or Revolution? – this is an interesting look at the sudden onslaught of social media agencies popping up left and right. Do you think they are a fad or something that is here to stay?
Pentagon Will Track Social Media Movements, Memes – earlier this week a lot of folks were creeped out that the government was tracking things on social media along with memes. I actually think that this is pretty damn smart. If you look at the uprisings in the Middle East and how social media played a big part, it would be stupid of any government not to look at what the social generation is publishing free for anyone to see.
I updated my Facebook status from your mom’s computer – this article made it to the list this week because it is just funny. It is a harmless hack on code that can have you logging your Facebook posts from random places like your friend’s mom’s computer.
Authenticity, the real, and the ideal – Chris Penn is a smart dude. If you read one post this week, read this one. It will be worth your while.
Debunking Popular Myths of Social Media – it is that time of year again, the time where social media mythbusting takes center stage. This year the man from the frigid North, Danny Brown, takes on some of the more popular myths of social media.
