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.
