- You like me. You really like me: Facebook: Liked to death comes as the "like" button turns one year old. A good cautionary read, noting that one man's like doesn't mean the same as the next guy's.
- First Flip, now this? Twitter is reported to be offering a lot to buy Tweetdeck, my favorite social media dashboard. Color me cautious.
- Graduate to these new ideas: University communicators, change up the way you cover commencement with this big pile of ideas from the Meet Content blog.
- A very, very, very fine house: Monticello's blog does a great job with an item unearthed by its research librarian about an "invective-ridden episode in [the] house's renovation."
- Borrowing trouble? Kindle books will be lend-able by libraries; librarians have a lot of questions. Timing's good: College student use of ebook readers doubled in the last 5 months.
- Fixing the cloud: Dropbox had a security problem revealed this week; now there's a fix.
- The 700 (million) club: Facebook's heading toward 700 million users, with strong U.S. growth.

- Barcode beauty: Here's how to make your QR codes readable, but beautiful.
- Can you hear them now? Vanderbilt University's Charlie Melichar is a smart thinker in social media communications. Listening is measurement, offers food for thought in social media metrics.
- Not sure this'll replace the Flip: But among users of Flickr, the camera of choice is an iPhone 4.
