The largest encryption flaw spans the web, another marketing automation acquisition, changes within the mobile and desktop version of Facebook, Twitter gets a makeover, LinkedIn wants you to stay at your company, the need for behavioral change before measurement change, the FTC cracks down, why you're not funny 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 the 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.
