The other day I posted a half-dozen links to some interesting year-end social media and marketing lists. Since we learn from our mistakes (sometimes) as much as from out successes, here’s a half-dozen more:

The most notable C-suite apologies of 2012 (Ragan’s)

Everyone loves making predictions for the year ahead. But how did last year’s predictions for 2012 turn out? Check out this post and this post from last year for a batch of predictions for 2012. I haven’t gone back and checked them all, but I’m guessing most of the predictions for 2012 could also be predictions for 2013.

While Santa is checking his list twice, let’s link over to some of the more  interesting lists that have crossed my path lately:

Given all the nonsense I see on Facebook in any given day, this just seems odd. Salient excerpt:

Facebook is suspending user accounts that question the official narrative behind the Sandy Hook school massacre, following a warning by Connecticut State Police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance that “misinformation” posted on social media sites could result in prosecution.
