Sharing is caring…

As a community manager I am naturally interested in why we share, so I’ve found some articles and videos on that topic that I, of course, would like to share.

1. Viral Content: Why We Share Some Things and Not Others

3. TEDx talk by Olivia Ma

4. The Future of Sharing on Facebook, Twitter and Google+

I’m a community manager for a startup, so I have a feeling this blog might take a slow turn towards covering that area as well. This Monday was the annual Community Manager Appreciation Day (there’s a day for everything right? Speaking of… I also heard the same day was the National Pie Day, and the day after the National Peanut Butter day.. I couldn’t make this S*** up..)

Here are my bookmarked links to read this weekend:
