Social Media Highlights of the Week: Sept. 5 - Sept. 11

Here at Dedham Patch, we take social media pretty seriously.

The platform is one way we look to interact with you, answer your questions and get to see what's on your mind. Social Media Sunday is a weekly feature where we highlight your questions and thoughts you've shared on Facebook, Twitter and other media throughout the past week.

We'll also point you to some new and interesting pages you may not have known about before.

• A pair of people on Facebook said they 'liked' our , wife of Dedham native Jeff Coombs, who died on Sept. 11, 2001.
• We received shoutouts on Twitter from the likes of Legacy Place 5K, Readville Festival, Solid Body Fitness, Whole Foods Market, our neighbors at Westwood Patch and Wild Dedham.
• Even if you don't life in Oakdale, the Oakdale Square Alliance on Facebook is a great way to keep up on what is happening in the community. This week they posted information about their monthly meeting and about an upcoming event.
• We are approaching 800 followers on Twitter - just 11 shy as of early Sunday. Help us reach the mark by letting your friends know. It is a great way to know about developing stories.
