Tumblr Adult Content, Pinterest Categories, Google Plus Upgrades: the Social 6 for 5/20/13

No, I won’t say the top story is related to Yahoo or Tumblr – that’s #2 ;). If you’ve been living under a shell you won’t understand what I’m talking about, but the vast majority of you guys undoubtedly will!

Spotify, Pandora, Nexgate, Vine, Webby Nominees: the Social 6 for 4/9/13

Interestingly enough, today it seemed like plenty of the new that’s trending (Webby Awards, Spotify, Pandora, Colbert pushing Bill Clinton to Twitter) is much more pop culture than I normally go with my Social 6, as we normally lean more business-y. Then again, that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes, no? Here’s your Social 6:… Continue reading Spotify, Pandora, Nexgate, Vine, Webby Nominees: the Social 6 for 4/9/13

Facebook Hashtags, Veronica Mars & Kickstarter, and Pi Day: the Social 6 for 3/14/13

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… Continue reading Facebook Hashtags, Veronica Mars & Kickstarter, and Pi Day: the Social 6 for 3/14/13

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

Papal Twitter, Framebench, & Facebook Insights Fail: the Social 6 Weekend Edition

Today was actually a pretty busy day around the Internetz, with plenty of strong stories sadly being left off of the Social 6. The good news is that the ones that made the cut are pretty sweet, including plenty of app news (Snapchat, Winston, Nextdoor), another reason to get an Amex card, and the most… Continue reading Snapchat, Nextdoor, FONYFW, & Tweet-to-Buy: the Social 6 for 2/12/13

Vine, Virtual Workers, & the About.me Spinoff: the Social 6 for 2/5/13

Today (2/5/13) wasn’t the busiest day around the social newsosphere (I realize that sounds awkward and no, I’m not taking it back). Yet, we still had some good reads to be found, including About.me’s move towards (re)independence, why you should care about Twitter’s acquisition of Bluefin, and the more creative uses of Vine thus far. Here’s… Continue reading Vine, Virtual Workers, & the About.me Spinoff: the Social 6 for 2/5/13

Timehop, Graph Search, and Vine: the Social 6, Weekend Edition

Over the last few days, the number of stories about Facebook’s Graph Search hasn’t abated that much, but the velocity at which I’ve seen new stories about Twitter’s new Vine app has been pretty tremendous. We’ve also got a story about Timehop’s timely (sorry, couldn’t help it) upgrades, a great analysis of Instagram’s top hashtags,… Continue reading Timehop, Graph Search, and Vine: the Social 6, Weekend Edition
