North Reading’s Week in Social Media

Here at North Reading Patch, social media is a big deal. It's how we interact with you, answer your questions and get to see what's on your mind. Social Media Saturday is a weekly feature where we highlight your questions and thoughts you've shared on Facebook and other media throughout the past week. We'll also point you to some new and interesting sites you may not have known about before.

Overheard

Here is a sampling of comments and happenings on our Facebook page and the social media world from the past week:

Reader Lori Lynes submitted photos of a bird coming in for a landing on a bird feeder during the mid-week snowstorm. We posted them to our Facebook page.

The Hornets Nest Sub Shop gave a shout out to all its fans who voted for it in the North Reading Patch restaurant contest.

@happn_in_boston said @NReadingPatch, our Twitter feed, set the trend in Boston for “shadow early spring” when we tweeted that Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, meaning an early spring for everyone. (We’ll believe it when we see it.)

Facebook page of the week

Lauren McMullen commented last week that she created a Facebook page called “Friends of North Reading.” The page has 265 members, though McMullen said she would like to see it grow. The page is dedicated to people who live in North Reading.
