Our Week In The Web: June 27, 2014

Our more astute Facebook and Twitter followers might have noticed that your normal social / web guru was out of the office  most of this week (the "tweets by @nicktheandersen and staff" note on our Twitter handle is usually just the former). Reasons for the vacation aren't necessarily important — SIX DIFFERENT MOOSE — but you might have noticed a slight change in the volume and type of Facebook and Twitter posts this week. We don't know what to think about what that means, so we're asking you. Could you tell a difference in the way our show talked about itself on the web? Do you ever give any thought to the producers behind the scenes and beneath the digital hood? We're not asking for recognition or praise / shame / hate — we're really just curious if you noticed the difference.
