Vine made a big splash back in January with the introduction of the six-second video loop. In just a few months, the app has wormed its way into the hearts of Twitter followers everywhere and now users share an average of 5 Vine tweets per second!

What’s neat about Vine is that the one-touch record mechanism allows you to easily edit together a succession of single frames flipbook style. That means you can make inanimate objects dance and play with very little effort. (Here’s my Pirates at Play video)

Of course, you can also use Vine to post six seconds of anyone doing anything. The most retweeted Vine video to date shows Harry Styles and the One Direction crew (that’s a boy band) getting their hair done prior to going on stage.  This riveting clip was shared more than 47,000 times.

Meetup CEO Scott Heiferman is pretty opinionated, especially about Google Glass.

Let’s keep this simple. Watch this video from Business Insider and tell us in the comments why you agree or disagree with his take.

Have a nice weekend.

Nicola Mendelsohn has a new job. This British mother of four is about to become Facebook’s Vice-President for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. But that’s not the big news. Rumor has it, she’ll also be a rare tech exec who only works four days a week.

In the past, Mendelsohn has insisted on the 4-day week so that she can balance her family and work and so far it hasn’t been an issue. Her current position is as executive chairman of creative agency Karmarama where half of her staff takes advantage of the option to work flexible hours or work from home.

LinkedIn is the place to go to get a new job, right?

Well, that is not likely to change but what is changing is what else LinkedIn is allowing its users to do, mainly to show off their expertise with their content. Whether it’s sharing others’ content or finding a way to get yourself in front of other experts LinkedIn is the place for professionals to play. Watch the SlideShare presentation to help determine what this might mean to you.

We have seen some pretty cool summaries of photo sizes for various social media outlets.

It’s important stuff because images are driving the Internet these days. Sure it’s nice to put a few words together but who is actually reading (other than Google)?

The folks at PostRocket put together this infographic showing how to optimize photos for Facebook. As we used to do all the time with PR that was disguised as research, we ask you to use this data with caution. Just because it’s in an infographic it doesn’t mean it’s spot on information. But wait, it’s on the Internet so it must be real. Sorry about that, I lost my head for a minute there.
