Hey everyone! How was your week? On my end it was a long one between work and home with a sick Baby Espo. No complaints just a lot of work so needless to say I am excited for the end of the workweek. Since my brain was on overload of sorts, I decided to do a lighter version of Five for Friday where the articles are much more light-hearted than usual and I think you’ll enjoy ‘em. Have a great weekend and see you next week…same bat time, same bat channel.
Romney Campaign Hunts Down Social Media Satirist – I find this article interesting for the sheer fact that a network that is the new hotness has found itself in the middle of a few controversies the last week or so. In this case there was a user and a spoof Mitt Romney account that had the Romney campaign staff ask for the name to be altered in terms of the user name. While the person was within their rights of free speech Pinterest had to look into changing the name as it did appear to be the Republican frontrunner. To me it is a rite of passage and almost having verified accounts like Twitter.
Greatest Note Ever Left On a Dented Car – I love reading posts about awkward notes left on cars in parking lots when people ding them. This one may take the cake and includes: grand theft auto, Jesus and slankets. Definitely read if you need a laugh and have some time to kill.
If Super Bells Could Talk: Advice for the Susan G. Komen Foundation – this is an open letter to the folks at Susan G. Komen in terms of crisis communications in light of their fiasco with Planned Parenthood.
Social Media and the Hiring Process – this week I did a lot of research on using social media in the recruiting space. So when I read this article it stood out to me as a Five for Friday pick because it takes a look at how our online connections can influence the hiring process.
Scuba dooby doo: Amazing photos of the dogs who love to play fetch underwater – I saved the best for last on this one… kind of scary/creepy and all out awesome.
