Michael Vick, Pages Manager, FiveHundredPlus, & Medium: the Social 6 for 3/6/13

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:

Glossi, Cory Booker, and Likeable Departments: the Social 6 News Roundup for 12/5/12

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). We still have some pretty clickworthy stories, including the rising food justice movement and how food stamps play into things, and the increasingly fast evolution of journalism. Here's your Social 6:

#6: ThisNext Launches Glossi, Its Free Digital Magazine Builder  (TechCrunch)

#5: Cory Booker's Move Toward Food Justice  (LinkedIn)

#4: Gen Y, Social Media, and the Powers That Be  (Going Social)

#3: Likeable is not a department  (Duct Tape Marketing)

#2: The Game of Business (Businessweek)

#1: How Social Networks Are Redefining Journalism (Mashable)
