Friday Five: Twitter links of the week

1. Facebook’s play to take over the entire Internet (via @Newsweek).

2. Another take: Facebook’s ambition (via @scobelizer).

3. Local “hometown” news stays in print, not online. According to this readMedia study (via @amymengel).

4. Time to cancel your Twitter account? “The internet is dynamic, fragile, and designed to lose things. The internet has probably forgotten more about you than it remembers.” (Via @alumnifutures.)

5. Don’t be a poseur (via @area224, who apparently thought this New Year’s Day post was good enough to retweet some 3-plus months later, and it was).

Bonus link: Just sayin’ (via @mkgdouchebag).

Friday Five: contextless links

Some nuggets from this week’s Twitter stream:

  1. Marshall McLuhan talks about new media creating tribes 50 years before Seth Godin. Fascinating video (via @spin).
  2. The value of a Facebook fan (via DR4WARD).
  3. thesixtyone.com is an amazing social music site (and a huge time suck, so be forewarned). (Via @bethshanna.)
  4. Ernest Hemingway’s top 5 tips for writing well (via @copyblogger).
  5. Making presentations that stick (via @presentationzen). P.S. – The Girl Effect video embedded in this post is powerful.
