- Point and shoot isn't enough: If you're in on the strongest social media trend--video--you need to know these 10 common video storytelling mistakes (and how to avoid them). Might just be the find of the week.
- Don't touch that, er, dial: YouTube will be getting 100 new channels of content. This is only the beginning...
- Get Shorty? Industries and their agencies now get the chance to earn Shorty Awards, with many new categories this year. Find out whether you should compete here.
- Too young to be on Facebook, but there, anyway: If your work involves young people and social media, or parents, a must-read new paper from researcher Danah Boyd came out this week: Why parents help their children lie to Facebook about age, a look at the unintended consequences of privacy legislation intended to protect children.
- Need a graphic recorder? You know, those fancy- and fun-looking rapporteurs who sum up your meeting discussion using Sharpies--you've seen them on lots of online videos. Contacts are recommending Ronna Alexander, and you can see samples of her work here.
- YouTube is not non-plussed, since it added a mini-video-player you can use within Google+. Brilliant.
- A healthy perspective: Recent Pew data charts show the health topics for which people are searching online, with demographic breakdowns, plus a perspective on the nameless influencers who write health website content for federal agencies--with amazing data on the views those government sites attract.
- Have you actually used the app for that? Pew also notes that apps are multiplying, even as app usage lags.
And a great job:
- Vroom, vroom: Edmunds.com, the car information source, is looking for a senior director of SEO and social media. You can direct-message @PeevedMichelle for more info.
Thanks for reading this week and sharing these resources with your colleagues.
