As you know, we here at All Things E love infographics. They are a fantastic way to deliver digestible facts and statistics to your audience. Taking it up a notch, Thought Café, a not-for-profit motion graphic studio, creates motion graphic shorts called “Thought Bubbles” to explain and deliver messages for organizations. The thought bubbles can then be shared through social media networks. The bubbles are short, direct and bring life to infographics images.

Instead of closing your eyes and typing, hoping and praying the first subject-line that pops into your head will do well, learn from the experts, those fabled people who can magically convert

We recently wrote a post on how to bring quirk to your social media and on this week’s wrap up we reached out to some social media experts and novices on how they would use Google Glass to personalize (and add quirk, of course) to the work they do on the web.
But first here’s a little background on Google glass. They are glasses that you wear (imagine the terminator glasses) and they do the following via voice commands:
