An amazing image of Whale and Dolphin Moms swimming with their babies. One of the most viral images on facebook this past weekend.

Hi:

I hope you had a great weekend! One of my favorite things to do as a social media consultant is to stay on top of what is going “viral” on facebook over the weekend and help to drive my client’s posts to win. Why? Because most organization’s staff take the weekend “off”. The internet, unfortunately for all of us, never takes the weekend off. This means that for those people that are able to pay attention you can jump on trends and news events and you can win.

I like to win.

What I have for you:

  • Behind CrowdTangle: A great profile of one of my favorite tools to stay on top of what is trending and to win on social media for my clients.
  • Twitter data: A must read new report from Buffer, another one of my favorite apps, on what is working right now on twitter.
  • Video: Incredible drone video of the whale and dolphins in the photo above.
  • Resources: Twitter Polls ! Learn more about this new feature. Plus, lot’s of great resources, tools, and ideas to kick start your Monday morning !
