Choo choo, all aboard the Friday links train…first stop Moscow…

Who needs the roaring fire video when you’ve got the Trans Siberian Express? Not the good people at MRM HQ, that’s for sure. Now we pride ourselves on knowing when to leave well alone if a job’s already a good ‘un, and this is one such occasion. So we proudly offer up our first link for this rather fine Friday by handing you over to the nice people at Google maps: “The great Trans Siberian Railway, the pride of Russia, goes across two continents, 12 regions and 87 cities. The joint project of Google and the Russian Railways lets you take a trip along the famous route and see Baikal, Khekhtsirsky range, Barguzin mountains, Yenisei river and many other picturesque places of Russia without leaving your house. During the trip, you can enjoy Russian classic literature, brilliant images and fascinating stories about the most attractive sites on the route. Let’s go!” Let’s go indeed, MRM’s already mentally packed and being lulled by the clickety-clack of the train. Take a look here.

If you’re anything like us you’ll find a good hour has passed before you shake yourself from this Trans Siberian trance so we’re keeping the links short this week out of respect for your time keeping…

Afraid we’re having a bit of a Ronseal day today so rather than mess with perfection we’ve blatantly copied word for word Mashable’s description for our link worthy of inclusion in Friday blog: 5 Fantastic Facebook Fan Page Ideas to Learn From.

Stats, that’s what every Friday needs, and to see you into the weekend in style we’ve found some corkers for you taken from research by AdMob on advocacy when it comes to mobile phones.
