    The Game of Thrones and Social Media Blockades

    Now here is a clever way to get people’s attention: Associate the popular TV series Game of Thrones with your solution to the social media blockades instituted by Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

    In recent months, some of the biggest houses in the social media realm have quietly butted heads and blocked access between one another. Unfortunately these walls aren’t built to protect the citizens. While wars rage on behind the scenes, the users of these paths are beginning to find their favorite networks a lot less accessible, and a lot less social.

    But HootSuite offers a solution. Check it out.
