Week in Social – Birds in Space and Flour Bombs
Starting from today, every week JBi will be posting the most talked about topics on social media. Being a digital agency in London it’s only right that we share the most Tweeted, Liked, and Pinned media online. So now you don’t have to do a deep search into the archives of the top websites because we’ve compiled the best stories in one space. I know, we’re very kind.
