Is
social media good or bad for us? Is it good for society? Is it good for the
economy?
Social
Media Today tackled these questions this week with a fresh, thoughtful list
of pros (“unprecedented access to information”) and cons (“serious repercussions
on productivity.”) It’s definitely worth a read.
Speaking
of good and bad, Facebook this week unveiled smart new ways to make your news
feed better by allowing you to select which friends and pages you would like to see at the
top of your feed. Watch this short video to learn how to prioritize
stories, and make sure you don’t miss posts from your best friends and favorite
pages.
In
more Facebook news, the
social network’s 1.4 billion active users may need to strain to see a subtle
new design change. But in the battle for gender equality, Facebook’s
new Friends
icon makes
a big statement. While the previous look had a more diminutive woman standing
behind her man, look closely, the new Friends icon now shows the woman in front
of the man, and the two silhouettes are of equal size.
Quiz:
Name the classic play that opens with “If music be the food of live, play on. (Hint:
Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.) Clearly
the Bard had a knack for catchy ledes, and writers today can still learn a
thing or two about capturing reader interest from the very start. Thanks PR
Daily for recognizing the power of the classics and posting 14 of Shakespeare’s
most captivating openers.
Borrowing
again from Shakespeare, I leave you with the final line in his play Julius Caesar, “And Let’s Away, to Part the
Glories of This Happy Day.” Have a great weekend everyone!
