Our Week In The Web: May 09, 2014

If you follow us on Twitter or Facebook (which, if you don't already, what is your problem?), you may have noticed our pretty new picture quotes. They're WBUR's very own iteration of a very successful NPR HQ tool that turns the best segments of our conversations into eye-catching images for your potentially fast-moving social media feed. They seem to be working — those of you who engage with us on our assorted social media feeds share those bits more than others, it appears — and we're glad that some of the better parts of our interviews and conversations are making it out into your busy, occasionally frantic Internet lives. What we hope for, of course, is that you go all in and listen to those conversations as you share them. For now, we'll take the pass along and wait for the listening and and learning later.
