I'll admit it, we have a bit of a different pool than I usually share in the Social 6, given that so many links I shared yesterday weren't really Social 6-esque (sharing my Crunchies voting for my friends at Mirror, for example).

McDonald's, Social SEO, Antisocial CEOs, and...Norwegian Foxes? Your Social 6 News Roundup for 12/4/12

December 4, 2012Social 6 Daily RecapsSocial media,Twitter,Business,Marketing and Advertising,Internet Marketing,SEO,McDonald,Microsoft Surface,Inbound marketing,human behavior

Yesterday was so full of news from the Social Web, the news that 3 more Microsoft Surface tablets may hit in 2013 didn't make it. In fact, it was such a busy day I didn't feel right including my announcing my new venture, Firebrand Group, on this list. And if we want to only keep it to news, the link to Pam Moore's SAP-sponsored social media webcast (today!) should be excluded - even though you all should definitely be there. Even without all of that, there's plenty to read. Here's your Social 6:
