I have always thought that emotional connections with social media have been a key to success; mostly that emotion is caused by feeling rewarded for using the network in one way or another. This article lays out the ways in which people, in real life and on the web, measure and use feedback in order to make users feel more connected to the social network.

I would like to do some kind of meme about my club SQUAD because it really needs some promotional help and I know everything there is to know about it.

Facebook is becoming more and more apart of business commutation and networking for businesses than ever before. It is almost implied that if you have a business website that you will also have a Facebook page for your business if not a Twitter as well. With that in mind the Facebook page you make should have the same degree of professional work put into it as your website and I thought this was a good article for highlighting that aspect of the web. It breaks down the mistakes past companies have made adjusting to creating a page with Facebook timeline and basically says that content should be professional, new, content specific, and organized for ease of use (not having too many internal page applications).
