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.

Infographic of the day: the social media triage

Here’s a great “social media triage” diagram/flow chart that outlines a process for responding to social media messages. Click on the image to see a bigger and more readable version.

I found this chart thanks to a tweet from the always helpful Davina Gould, who got it from Mark Greenfield, who got it from @imeldak, who in turn got it from Charlene Li, who created the thing and shared it during a recent seminar. Check #socialchecklist for the Twitter stream from that seminar, or check out Li’s presentation with co-presenter Jeremiah Owyang on slideshare. (The social media triage image is on slide 20.)
