Hi everyone! Hope you had (are having) a great holiday season. Welcome to my first Speedlink on 2014. As you would probably imagine, I did not come across a lot of stuff this week, but predictions, 2013 retrospectives and fireworks, lol.
Speaking of retrospectives, this week, SEJ and Link-Assistant has published an interesting infographic about the top 5 fails in social media for 2013. Can you guess which ones made the top spots? See how Bing, Burger King, Amy´s Baking Company, Chrysler and Bank of America got in the list.
Another interesting news this week is that of Vine´s announcement of them going on the web. Vine says in a blog post…

Hi Justin. Welcome.. Yeah it’s been a while. I got involved with my brother with his company in Sao Paulo, and it has been taking me an awful lot of my online endeavors. Coupled with my existing clients, I hardly have time for anything else. How about you. How are things on your end?
Same here, day job consumes 50 hours per week, hard to find time for my blog and other online ventures too. Family consumes the rest of my time.
