Weekend read: My weekly share on Twitter

Proud of your accomplishments this week, or coming up short of material with which to impress the office? Look smart, fast, and take in these plentiful finds, reads and resources I shared this week on Twitter, where I'm @dontgetcaught.You can thank me later:

• Point and shoot isn't enough: If you're in on the strongest social media trend--video--you need to know these 10 common video storytelling mistakes (and how to avoid them). Might just be the find of the week.
• Don't touch that, er, dial: YouTube will be getting 100 new channels of content. This is only the beginning...
• Get Shorty? Industries and their agencies now get the chance to earn Shorty Awards, with many new categories this year. Find out whether you should compete here.
• Too young to be on Facebook, but there, anyway: If your work involves young people and social media, or parents, a must-read new paper from researcher Danah Boyd came out this week: Why parents help their children lie to Facebook about age, a look at the unintended consequences of privacy legislation intended to protect children. 
• Need a graphic recorder? You know, those fancy- and fun-looking rapporteurs who sum up your meeting discussion using Sharpies--you've seen them on lots of online videos. Contacts are recommending Ronna Alexander, and you can see samples of her work here.
• YouTube is not non-plussed, since it added a mini-video-player you can use within Google+. Brilliant.
• A healthy perspective: Recent Pew data charts show the health topics for which people are searching online, with demographic breakdowns, plus a perspective on the nameless influencers who write health website content for federal agencies--with amazing data on the views those government sites attract.
• Have you actually used the app for that? Pew also notes that apps are multiplying, even as app usage lags.

And a great job:

• Vroom, vroom: Edmunds.com, the car information source, is looking for a senior director of SEO and social media. You can direct-message @PeevedMichelle for more info.

Thanks for reading this week and sharing these resources with your colleagues.
