A roundup of relevant links affecting our industry.<br>
<br>
Each week, I compose a newsletter that includes a series of links about current events and trends in the worlds of technology, social media, mobile, communications and marketing in order to keep the wider team up to date on changes, newsworthy items and content that might be useful in their jobs. These are those links.<br>

<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
If you have additional links, sources or ideas that might be helpful, I'd encourage you to add some via a comment below or tag me in <a href="http://plus.google.com/+ScottMonty" style="color: #562900; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Google+</strong></a>. And if you’re on Flipboard, you can get these links in my new <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://flip.it/IfN4O" style="color: #562900; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">This Week in Social Media Magazine</a></strong>.</div>

This week, I've expanded the sections a bit to include a section on content and content marketing. While it gets plenty of play as a buzzword, there's actually much more to this area of the industry, and I thought it deserved its own section.</div>

Watching the events unfold in Boston yesterday was horrific. As a former resident of the city - and as one who had previously volunteered at the finish line of the Boston Marathon - it was especially difficult to experience.<br>
<br>
As with any tragic event that plays out in the media, there is always fear, speculation, uncertainty and loose facts running rampant.<br>
<br>
What happened thanks in part to digital and social media was fascinating to watch as we as a collective nation were thrust into an uncomfortable situation <i>together</i>. The immediacy of the information flowing in, particularly because of visual storytelling, was in some ways jarring, in that we were able to learn about the raw information immediately. But it was also comforting, as we were sharing those images and reactions to them <i>together</i>, as a shared experience.<br>

Taking a Peek at Twitter Analytics

<p>I received an email recently that contained an analysis of a high-profile Silicon Valley executive’s Twitter followers, as performed by <strong><a href="http://www.peekanalytics.com/" target="_blank">PeekAnalytics</a></strong>. The request was to share the analysis with you, my readers.</p><br>
Rather than reporting on a third person’s Twitter followers, I thought it might be more interesting (to me, at least) to take a look at a breakdown of my own Twitter followers. So I asked the PeekAnalytics team if they’d be able to run my account through their system. They agreed.<br>
<br>
So what is it? PeekAnalytics is a social audience measurement tool that enables its users to gain a large and diverse assortment of actionable insights into both the audiences following specific Twitter accounts, as well as those audiences behind the tweeting of certain words, phrases, links, memes, hashtags, and the like. <br>
<br>
Here’s what they were able to discover from my <a href="http://twitter.com/scottmonty" target="_blank"><strong>@ScottMonty</strong></a> account:<br>
