3D Print Your Child into a Marvel Superhero. Yes, Really.

foursquare Visualization, 3D Printed Buildings, and Social Media Education: the Social 6 for 1/22/13
What constitutes a social media story? After all, this is the Social 6, where I collect my most shared, retweeted, and commented-upon links every day. Needless to say, I define it pretty broadly, with stories that touch upon social (and technology) even in a smaller way. Today we have whether or not social media should be covered in schools, great visualization of foursquare check-in data, Sergey Brin sighted trying out his awesome Google Glass specs on the NYC subways, and more. Here's your Social 6:

#5: 10 Common Sense Ideas To Raise Your Klout Score (Business 2 Community)
#4: Do We Need Social Media Education in Schools Now? (Social Media Today)
