Friday Roundup – Let It Snow? Edition

December 6, 2013 By Jim Storer

By Shannon DiGregorio, Relationship Manager at The Community Roundtable

snowy boston

The weather people are predicting snow in Boston this weekend, which to me is a mixed blessing. I love the holidays, and growing up in New England a white December makes things a little more jolly. My commute is also from the kitchen to the living room of my house, so nasty traffic isn’t a concern. I do however have a 16 week old puppy who likes to take her sweet time outside – I think a cold snap and a little snow might speed her up – we’ll see!

I really enjoyed seeing so many #thankitforward tweets from so many different people. I’ve included a few below as part of the roundup in addition to my favorite links from this week. Have a wonderful weekend, whether you’re covered in snow or on a sunny southern beach!

  • Fascinating read from the Big Idea: Social BusinessBlog at MIT Sloan on the evolution of social business
  • Community manager Hillary Boucher shares the perfect analogy for the benefits of great communities in “Share Your Custard” 
  • Rachel Happe shares her #thankitforward picks and spreads a lot of social and community love
  • A data-based perspective on the “is social business dead” conversation – now with new charts & data to reveal the real evolution
