February 7th, 2013 was a Social 6 milestone, actually: it’s the first time, I believe, that two entrants into the Social 6 are pieces that I wrote. Why thank you, I think I will take a bow.

However, there was plenty else worth reading, including Facebook’s epic fail on Thursday, Mailbox’s early success, and the viral sensation known as Kai. Here’s your Social 6:
