Every week we tweet about a lot of fascinating stuff, highlighting great content that is of interest to social media folks and corporate bloggers. This weekly compilation provides you with our top tweets for the previous seven days.
Our top stories include Facebook’s privacy policy changes and why EFF thinks it is not good enough for you, why successful crowdsourcing is unlikely, and why you should distrust all tools that claim they measure social media ROI. Plus, check out some free Twitter, Bit.ly and World Bank tools, and more to better manage your brand on social networks.
