We all spend much of our time buried in our phones, keeping up with what social media has to offer. But the good stuff can get lost in the mix. So we wanted to share with you some of the better posts we’ve seen this week. Some went viral, others had less attention, but all are worthy of a second look.
While we’re at it, make sure you’re following us on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest so you don’t miss our new content.

A reminder to give blood
A tribute to an Irish sensation
Very sad to hear of the death of Gay Byrne. Hard to explain how huge a presence he was in Ireland for 40+ years; a legendary, instinctual broadcaster; that rarest thing, a gifted listener; and an interviewer of huge emotional intelligence. An enormous life.
