Your Week In Review

Yes, my obsession with Burger King and the Angry Whopper has not ended. I know I have issues.. lots of issues. Let us just get right into some of the hot Social Media topics of the week!

-You know though, Facebook has issues too! Get this, Facebook shut down the Whopper Sacrifice application! In the week prior 82,000 people removed 230,000 friends! Facebook claims there were “privacy issues”. Hmmm, I’m not buying it. Speaking of apps, here is a list of the Top 20 Up & Coming Facebook Apps for this week. Its interesting to see what is gaining in popularity and what is a hit with folks.

-Oh and if you are on Facebook and I hit you up for cash. It might not be me. Seems there is a Facebook Scam going on where phishers are pretending to be friends that are stuck and need cash. Read more about that here

-Ford’s Scott Monty has been getting a lot of praise online for his quick response in the Social Media world. By using social media Scott helped control what could of been a huge PR mess for Ford. Here is a great success story for you.

-American Idol. I watch it I admit it. Yes, I am rooting for bikini girl so far. No, she can sing really well. She wore a bikini? I did not notice at all. Here is a case where text messaging backfired for Idol and AT&T.  Seems AT&T sent its 75 million customers text messages about the Idol premier. The backlash was huge on Twitter. Lots of negative companies after it was done. Come on AT&T you should know better! Just raise our rates a buck, instead of sending us spam.

-I don’t mention it very often, but Virtual Worlds are still hotter than ever. According to Virtual Worlds Management, $594.00 was invested in about 63 Virtual worlds in 2008! Read more here. Yes, its real money. You are funny. Did I ever mention I pretended to be a blond named Britney Mason on the internet? No, I need to do a blog post on that. Here is a video about it I did for CNBC

-If you have a blog you may be familiar with Feedburner, which was bought by Google for $100 million One would think the service would be getting better, seems that is not the case. Take a look at this techcrunch post and review all the great comments.

All right, thats all for now! Have a great weekend!
