Well, it’s been an eventful day here on Planet Earth – at least in the social/digital/tech world. You’ve doubtless heard of the news about a potential marriage between Facebook and Waze, but there’s so much more to read up on, from Google’s upgraded Hangouts On Air, helpful new tips & tricks to master YouTube, and SoundTracking (which I recommend) getting even better.

Today’s Social 6 certainly feels a bit scattered – but in a good way. We have iPhone commercials, Facebook Pages going mobile-er, Chrome features to make you even more productive, and Twitter’s reported move to hopefully step up their security big time. Here’s your Social 6:

Happy April, folks! Since it’s the first day of April, I think we can all assume that one of the below stories is a joke, and I’ll leave it up to you to figure out which it is. Either way, the leak of Facebook Home blew away everything else as the top story of the day. That being said, there’s plenty more must-reads below. Here’s your Social 6:

Wow, a pretty busy weekend in terms of the quality of the links that were being passed around. Of course, given it happens to be the first of April, the YouTube story simply had to be in the top spot (and it’s fun to watch). Yet the two marriage equality links, content sharing techniques, and more shared below are definitely worth more than a look as well. Here’s your Social 6:

It’s funny: there are slow weeks, and then there are weeks — days, actually — like yesterday. Pretty much everything that makes up the Social 6 from the last 24 hours is a must-read if you want to keep on top of mobile, digital, and social happenings. Between the Goodreads move, Klout’s added focus on Instagram, Facebook’s new cover photo rules, and everything else, I’d advise you to get some popcorn and strap in. Here’s your Social 6:

Well, it’s been a busy day with me at a photo shoot for up-and-coming brand Jude Connally all day, but I still found the time to share some pretty, shiny links with you guys — and you certainly weren’t shy with your clicks & shares today. Today’s top story had to be Klout’s renewed push for business, but Facebook’s lookalike audiences is a must-read as well. Here’s your Social 6:

Busy busy day out there today, I tell you! I had about 4-5 great links that didn’t even make it today into our top six. The ones that made it were great picks, including Veronica Mars and the power of crowdfunding, a great Pam Moore analysis of Google’s odd ways of servicing customers, and how Facebook’s rumored launch of hashtags may affect Twitter in some surprising ways.

Unsurprisingly, there was plenty of conversation today about Facebook and Google+, given yesterday’s announcements regarding both of those platforms. Besides those major stories, there were plenty of other gems today, including iOS making its way into cars, whether or not this SXSW will yield the next killer app, and some of 2013′s most epic social media misses.

Well, it’s not often I post more sensationalist, general interest posts, but maybe I should, as the Michael Vick story I shared ran away with the most number of clicks and shares. Given that, I just had to give it the top spot. Plenty more news you can use, however, including an analysis of Apple’s time as a dominant stock, FiveHundredPlus’ contact management solution, and the ongoing success of Facebook’s (admittedly imperfect) Pages Manager app. Here’s your Social 6:
