Weekly Wrap-Up of the Digital World

As a busy person, we know you don’t have the time to read the 1,000s of new articles that appear online daily, so each week we bring you a mash-up of articles and blogs that we believe you may find interesting and relevant. You may not be able to read through our listing in one sitting, so the idea is that after a busy week we offer you a selection of curated news that you can read at your leisure. Topics may cover social media, marketing, business and technology – anything that will benefit your online business life.

We always say it, but it has been a big week in social media – this week Facebook filed to go public and turned 8! Happy birthday Facebook.

Not everything in the digital world resolves around Facebook though (gasp!) – this week the blogsphere was bulging with blogs on the benefits of Pinterest and the Sh*t people Say vids are spreading like wildfire.  Still waiting on a “Shit Winemakers Say” video though!

Here are some of our favourite blogs for the week from the big boy bloggers and not so well knowns ….. hope you enjoy!
