Big Question (Answered): What's Your 1 Piece of Social Media Advice?
If the Facebook IPO and Pinterest's $1.5 billion valuation mean anything, it's that social media have become business as usual. Everybody's full of social media advice and best practices these days. For today's Big Question, we asked the savvy RWW readers to share their tips.
Meet Us in St. Louis on May 3
Last November, ReadWriteWeb held several meetups at various cities around the world, as recounted here. Our midwest staff enjoyed doing it so much that we decided to hold another one May 3. You are all invited to attend, just let us know you are coming.
The meetup will be held at the offices of Mercury Labs in the trendy midtown section of St. Louis from 6-8 p.m. Mercury is a cool cinema and communications company with a number of tech clients; our thanks to them for sponsoring the event. As with our previous meetups, you will get a chance to hob-nob with midwestern editors and connect with other uber-geeks from around the city.

I may have a pretty reliable stock of YouTube videos with which I could amuse the average non-Internet person, but compared to some Web residents, I have no idea what's going on. That's why I read The Daily Dot. It's the Internet's hometown newspaper. When I don't know the significance of some weird video or graphic people are sharing, that's where I turn to learn more.
Internet culture was on full display in person this week at South by Southwest, and I got a chance to sit down with Owen Thomas, founding editor of The Daily Dot, to talk about how they cover the Web not as a tool, like we do at RWW, but as a place.

The possibilities are exciting.
