Someone got their wings clipped this week

The tweet heard round the world, an example of a brand doing social well, data and measurement developments at Twitter and Google, physically finding your friends via Facebook, liking a brand may stop you from suing them, the pros and cons of brand smack-downs, the next big social platform, the rise of audio and more, it's This Week in Digital.

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 Magazine.
