Influencers versus advocates, the launch of a new newsreader, a Facebook epidemiological panic, the fastest growing social platform is ____, figuring out what's bigger than big data, the secrets behind good content, how to be a better digital marketer in 2014, why Bitcoin matters, showing up differently and more, it's This Week in Digital & Social.

A roundup of relevant links affecting our industry.

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, digital communications and marketing in order to keep leaders up to date on changes, newsworthy items and content that might be useful in their jobs.

If you have additional links, sources or ideas that might be helpful, I'd encourage you to add some via a comment below. And if you’re on Flipboard, you can get these links by subscribing to the This Week in Digital & Social Magazine.

Commentary
