Weekend read: My weekly share on Twitter

Yup. It's that time again...time to ease out of the work week and into the weekend. I've taken the time to pull together my best finds from others, reads and resources that I shared this week on Twitter, where I'm @dontgetcaught. Here's what got my clock ticking this week:

• So-called news stories under a flashlight: The FCC is investigating pay-for-play TV news stories involving health news.
• Remember, they don't control it: The National Weather Service just got a Twitter feed.
• That map might be eavesdropping: This German Google Map pinpoints where things were overheard or reported to have been said. And you were worried about reporters.
• Welcome pitches? This study suggests that pitches to reporters from social-media influencers are well-received. I'm sorta waiting to hear what reporters say, myself. 
• A tour you should take: From the enigmatic but inspiring blog Peace and Love and Noticing the Details.
• Let's give them something to talk about: Wondered, have you, about what Facebook pages' "People are Talking About" metrics really mean? Inside Facebook breaks it down for you.
• Facebooking and fundraising: Facebook proves fundraising is more than the 'ask' is a smart post from Mixtape Communications that every nonprofit, fundraiser or cause should consider.
• News organizations on Google+: Here's a roundup of the news organizations with the most engagement on G+. I think this might be our most versatile network yet.
• Get out your rulers: Google recently shared its vision of what'll happen with measurement in 2012. 
• Professions get social: This week, two good posts on how doctors use social media, and another on global social media use in the legal industry.
• You might need that lawyer adept in social media: There's another court case on whether you or your boss own your social media profile. This one's about LinkedIn.
• A job and a good one: And a great university writer job opening at St. Lawrence University. I've worked a lot with Tom Evelyn, their vice president for communications, and you should explore the chance to work with his team--great people.

One thing you shouldn't put off till the weekend: I extended the discounted registration for "Be an Expert on Working with Experts," my February 1 workshop--but it ends at midnight tonight. Just $300 to get smart about the smart people you work with. Seats are filling, and I'd love for you and your team to attend. (You can still register until January 25 or when the workshop's full, but at a slightly higher rate.)
