If you missed any of Mashable‘s resources this week, hopefully it wasn’t because you were dealing with that nasty “Flashback” virus (make sure you check if your Mac has been infected by using this nifty script).
Once you know you’re not one of the 600,000 unlucky ones hit with the malware virus, get caught up with our weekly features roundup!
This week, we’ve covered the ways to add LinkedIn to your company’s website, tech time warp videos that will take you back to the ’80s and ’90s and memes brought to life via Twitter. We also have a Q&A with author Jonah Lehrer, an office tour of StumbleUpon’s San Francisco headquarters and infographics on topics ranging from slacktivism to employee privacy. We even have the best Draw Something sketches from Mashablereaders, like you.
Go ahead and enjoy this week’s digital media resources.
