Promoting your social media presence at events is a great way to raise awareness by a means other than digitally. With graduations and other major end-of-year coming up, here is some food for thought from Rachel Sprung at Social Media Examiner.

Good thoughts on creating a Facebook Group for class years by Jason Boucher on Social Media Today.

If you're looking for a laugh, this hilarious (and somewhat vulgar) Condescending Corporate Brand Facebook page showcases some of the worst "engagement whoring" committed by brands on social media. It hits a little close to home though.

​A very handy social media photo-sizing cheat sheet from Dan Wilkerson at Luna Metrics. Definitely worth saving. ​

Helpful to-do list from Steven Shattuck on Social Media Today for a "social media Spring cleaning." Hmm... maybe I *should* take a look at the Pinterest page I set up two years ago and then promptly abandoned.​

For those among us who make videos on top of everything else we do, finding music is one of the biggest challenges. On Social Times, Devon Glenn has a helpful list of sites with free/cheap royalty free music.​

​As Facebook's feed changes are implemented, brand advocates will likely become much more important. Good read from AllFacebook.

And finally, a lovely tune from maybe my favorite band ever to ease us into the weekend. Take it away, Magnetic Fields!​

Great Facebook Idea: Promoting multiple events at once
