There are a lot of new things happening in social media and technology right now. Let’s jump right in to the Curated Awesome so you can see what’s going on.

1. How to Build an Army of Online Fans Great tips on how to get your audience really engaged in whatever you’re offering online. Really, don’t we all want an army?
2. Emoji Only Social Network? Please no. While I think this is highly innovative, has the potential to be adapted and is extremely cutting edge, all I can think about is the high potential for misinterpreted messages. How could you tell if someone made a typo?
3. How to Completely Delete Facebook from Your Life While I don’t necessarily agree that people should delete Facebook from their lives (how would I know when former classmates had kids otherwise?), if you decide to do this it’s worth noting that it’s not as simple as clicking delete.
4. Yo App Reimagined to Have an Actual Use Did you know there’s an app that’s only purpose is to send someone a message that says “Yo”? That’s literally all it does. Someone repurposed the app to have a real use. See if you can guess what it is – I certainly couldn’t.
5. Twitter Buy-Now Button Is Twitter getting closer to letting people buy directly through their interface? I’ll let you be the judge.

Happy Friday! Now go out and enjoy the sunshine!
