This is Volume 3 of my weekly feature to provide the Top Social Media, Strategy, and Fun links to my regular readers. Because this space moves so fast, I wanted to surface great content rather than try to comment on everything. Have a great weekend!

- Knowledgeistics is a blog that links Innovation, Social Media, and Market Research run by friends of mine (Rishu Mandolia, John Rood, and Alex Kemmler) who are strategic thought leaders around merging Social Media and Market Research.
- In this post they surface the Business Week article warning against starting a Corporate Social Network. They highlight the great point that there are reasons for starting a corporate social network but advise us to spend a couple hours thinking about the points raised by Stephen Baker in the article.
