Once again, it’s Social Media Week here in New York and other locations across the globe. Our folks at the Kaplan Thaler Group have been checking in at a number of the events throughout the week. And that means all things “social” are top of mind.
Here are a few of the other hot stories trending in the world of social media this week.

· For years, Twitter has been a hotbed for journalists. And now, it’s being used to make news…by robots. All Things D’s Peter Kafka reports on the rise of the robot writer.
