If you're new to the #FunFriday series, Fridays serve as our weekly smattering of fun things we find online or topics that just pop into our heads throughout the week.
Our goal with each #FunFriday post is to serve of a mix of fun and interesting topics, tidbits, and curiosities dependent upon the topic. This week, we saw some notable items in the blogosphere and want to make sure you didn't miss them.
There are a few serious updates and at least one that is just-for-fun. Enjoy!
Seven Ways to Open a Bottle of Wine without a Corkscrew
This one is definitely just-for-fun … or is it?
Wine is serious business and who hasn't been left holding an open bottle only to find a complete absence of corkscrews? It's a very real dilemma and this post demonstrates seven ways to get the job done in lieu of a corkscrew.
New Site Matches Furloughed Feds with Start-Ups
Freelance Gigs for Furloughed Employees. Now, this is cool.
Last week, a staffing startup partnered with a startup incubator to find temporary job opportunities for furloughed employees. To get things up and running quickly, they initially used a Google Doc to share job openings and connect furloughed employees with startups.
Within days, an entire website, Unfurlough.us, was built to house the initiative, which now hosts dozens of open positions.
The Anthropologie Approach to Content Marketing
This content marketing case study, in the form a blog post, is worth the read because it's a real-world example of a multi-faceted content marketing success story.
Anthropologie has developed a highly brand-loyal, faithful following through consistent, smart, and creative content in print, digital, experiential, and social.
From the brand's Pinterest-esque blog format, to its highly curated (and followed) Pinterest boards, Anthropoloie is doing more than one thing right.
Why Facebook and Twitter are Fighting Over Your Television
This title caught our attention right away. It explores several avenues (some new and some old) that Twitter and Facebook are pursuing to partner with television advertisers. These include exclusive insights about users, trends, and more.
Of course we've seen aspects of the relationship between TV sets and social media platforms intersect at an increasing pace recently, from SuperBowl shout outs by Oreo to TV season premieres.
Article highlights include: Twitter now working with Nielsen to develop TV ratings, Facebook is also working with select media partners such as CNN to provide exclusive insights and is now supplying advertisers with weekly updates on how shows are producing likes, comments, and shares.
Pretty interesting stuff.
Now that we've given you some weekend reading, we're off to finish the day strong. Hope you enjoyed this #FunFriday reprieve and have a wonderful weekend.
