It’s the last week before the Canadian Anti-Spam legislation goes into effect on July 1st. Are you ready? The answer may be more complicated (or much simpler) than you think. In other news, Google broke the hearts of content marketers everywhere by removing authorship photos from search results, while a new Forrester poll showed that perhaps Facebook hasn’t completely lost teens as previously speculated. Finally, for some time now Twitter has been the place where news breaks– but did you know it’s also where police are looking to spot terrorists?
