Standing Partnership's picks of must-read links for the week

1. Social Networking Affects Brains Like Falling in Love - from Christi Dixon who said, this explains why my mom feels like she’s surrounded by friends when she’s on Facebook and why people are so passionate about their products on the popular ranking sites. Our client Maritz is using this concept to ground its customer loyalty and incentive programs.
2. We're in love with the Old Spice guy. Er, the Old Spice campaign, that is. Our friend Mike Schaeffer writes about why Old Spice is better than you.
3. Five Ways Social Media Helps Promote Good Health.
4. FourSquare crosses two million users. Are you one of them? Why not?
5. Despite bad iPhone buzz lately, there's a cool iPhone app from a pharma company. It hooks up cancer patients with clinical trials in their area.
6. We enjoyed this blog post on how to write (and even turn down) LinkedIn recommendations.
