Social Networks and Digital Publishing: Friday Link Round-Up

Ah, it's Friday and finally nice out. Which is why I plan on catching up on all the good links and stories I had to breeze through during the work week. Somewhere outdoors, facing the sun, preferably with a morning coffee. Here are some social media themed links I've been thinking about this week; tweet us @10,000Words or comment with articles you think we should catch up on this weekend. 1) I saw that this conversation was going on, but couldn't bring myself to get buried in it. Until now. The Atlantic's 'Eulogy for Twitter' makes some interesting points, though I think media people tend to get caught up, as if Twitter has to be the same for everyone. Maybe it's just not for journalists anymore, but that's pretty ridiculous, too. The point about Twitter a catalyst, like AOL was for email, is something to chew on alongside your Sunday bagel. If Twitter's dying, someone tell the White House, who is obviously stressing way too much about it. 2) I only log into into LinkedIn when my train's delayed and I've become bored with Twitter (well, now...). I notice that they've sent me a bunch of email notifications, go in to clean up the mess and see who viewed my profile, as if it were some freemium dating service. But I digress -- turns out there are a lot of people like me, which is why this Quartz piece says that LinkedIn is still focusing on being a content site. But a newspaper? 3) I hate to toot our own horn, but this Angela Washeck post on Facebook newswire lays out its plans and asks some good questions. It's made entirely possible with Storyful, which means, how is it better than Storyful or even a well curated Twitter newsfeed? So what did we miss out on this week? What are your weekend reading plans? Image credit: The Atlantic.
