Favorite Finds
Guards up this week,
Twitter friends! While Q dumped snow all over the Midwest, our Twitter feed was
a-flurry with all sorts of hostile takeovers, worst of lists – ok, and some
helpful tips, tricks and social media news, too. Below are a couple of our
favorite stories from the week:
- Hack Attacks! Our hearts go out this week to Burger King and Jeep, both
of which had their Twitter accounts hacked by social pirates who defamed
the brands for hours until the accounts could be recovered. On the flip
side for the burger giant, it’s followers - which numbered around 50,000
as of Monday evening - shot up to more than 110,000 by the end of the
hackers' reign.
- Feeling Miserable? Looks like Q isn’t the only thing
making Midwesterners frown. This week Forbes released their most
miserable cities in the U.S.- and our home town ranked number four. Good thing
our team doesn’t have the Chicago blues!
- Gaga for Graph Search: Social media gurus are abuzz about Graph
Search – and so are we. Before declaring it the Holy Grail, we recommend taking
a nice long breath and reading this
cool-headed review of the obstacles Graph Search will face before it
can flourish.
- Tweet-Cuts: PR pros have to work fast; so you know we love a good keyboard
shortcut. For those of you stuck with the basic "Ctrl C" moves, upgrade your
typing – and social media prowess – with these handy Twitter shortcuts.
