Welcome to February, month of my two least favorite holidays. I don’t care how funny Billy Murray may be, I have never understood Punxsutawney Phil’s attraction. So let’s move on to what was awesome this week.

1. Talking to Actual People As introverted as you may be, there’s no denying that hearing the inflection in someone’s voice (and seeing the expressions on their faces) can help ease communications troubles.
2. Six Degrees of Facebook Separation Find out how you’re connected to every person on Facebook (a terrifying thought).
3. Reasonable Marketing Strategies Marketing your business doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. It just needs to be noticeable.
4. Twitter Nails Iowa Caucus Predictions This election may very well be the one we really see how much social media has changed our election process. Stay tuned.

Happy “it’s still Winter”, everyone. Get yourself a hot beverage and cuddle up on the couch until it’s warm again.
