HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I was tempted to link to one of our own posts this week because it was awesome. But hey, I can’t do that to you on Halloween!

1. Why Don’t We Just Automate Social Media? I’m not 100% anti-automation but there is definitely such a thing as automating social media too much.
2. Why the Container Store Pays Retail Employees $50,000 This is more of an HR topic but I still thought it was really though provoking for small businesses. Is a quality employee really worth several less motivated employees?
3. Twitter and IBM’s Watson Get Inside Our Heads You guys, I think this is tangible proof that advertising 20 years from now is going to be really scary.
4. How to Run a Successful Instagram Contest There is nothing more depressing online than running a contest that no one cares about. Here’s how to make the most of your Instagram contests.
5. What if Social Media Platforms were Popular Horror Movies? The LinkedIn image really, really makes me laugh. Do any of these resonate with you?

Have an awesome holiday! Eat a healthy amount of candy (by which I mean a lot).
