Weekend read: My weekly share on Twitter

Time to unplug (at least a little?), with the weekend upon us. I'm @dontgetcaught on Twitter, and work to share at least as much or more from others. Thankfully, there are plenty of plugged-in folks passing along great reads and resources. Here's what caught my eye this week:

• Attention! Military bloggers were among the earliest in on that social media trend, but faced resistance from top brass. Not anymore. Read about a recent "milbloggers" conference.
• Whose copyright? If you post photos and other content without thinking too much about copyright, this article about aggressive copyright enforcements might make you rethink that tactic.
• The buck stops here: Terry Heaton makes the case that social channels at news organizations ought to be run by news directors, not interns. Does his argument suggest a similar change in your communications or media relations operation? A smart read for communications directors, and important for your media relations folks to know about the news organizations they work with.
• Cause and effect: The Causes app on Facebook started as a way for nonprofits to build Facebook pages that allowed online donations. Now any page owner can just add a Causes tab to its page, meaning your company or organization can give page space to a pet cause or charity you wish to support--and change it up from time to time.
• Insider photos? Now your company or organization can let people searching Google peek inside your buildings with Google Business Photos. And while coverage so far has emphasized restaurants and similar businesses, I think universities, nonprofits and companies have plenty they can share here.

I'm excited that you can now subscribe to this blog on your Amazon Kindle--and my post shares the links you need to publish your personal or company blog there, just another way to make sure it's searchable and findable where readers are lurking. And if you haven't already done so, check out this week's popular posts, an ever-changing list. It's in the right column of the blog, every day.

Barely time to "favorite" extra reads this week, for me. What looked good to you on Twitter?
