Man this was one hell of a week. First week back after we welcomed our little bundle of joy into the world so needless to say, I have been running on fumes a bit. Aside from that I was uber-productive in banging out projects at work and getting through the always awesome year-end reviews. I am rambling I Know, but I blame the lack of sleep :). How was your week?

Hopefully as action packed and fun as mine.

I will also be flying into Chicago on Monday for a speaking gig on Tuesday and would love to connect with any readers who live in the area. So please hit me up if you want to meet up.

So without further adieu, here is this week’s edition of Five for Friday brought to you by Monster Energy.

Social Isn’t About Advertising Or PR – This is a great response post from Gini Dietrich to an article titled PR Agencies are Ruining Facebook. Unfortunately there is still a line in the sand and folks just can’t see beyond it or decide on a way to have everyone working together. The comments section is also filled with very smart commentary on the subject.

Who Owns Social Media? – To echo the sentiment t of Gini’s post, this piece from Marketing Profs gets down to the following line Why can’t we all just get along?

4 PR lessons from ‘Saved by the Bell’ – I love Saved by the Bell and any post with that in the title will make this list. With that said, my buddy Arik Hanson offers some great PR lessons with humor sprinkled in with some speed. Definitely check it out.

7 Status Updates That Will Get You Laid! – OK I am not going to lie here, this post made the list because it will never work and has to be a late April Fool’s Day joke right?

Are You Following a Bot? – This is a really smart and almost scary post from the Atlantic. How do you follow people? For me it is mostly people I have conversations with or I find interesting. It looks like the robots are getting smarter, which in turn means that we have to work harder to avoid the crap in the Twitterville.
