The major story last week was the announcement of Facebook Timeline for pages. Here are some other stories for your Monday #SoMash, including sports organizations getting the Timeline, Brad Keselowski’s infamous tweet, more trouble on Google+, Facebook users more aware of their privacy settings, and Pinterest driving views on YouTube.

The most clicked stories from this week’s #Sports e-newsletter includes: teams using Pinterest to connect with female fans, how the New Jersey Devils monetized social media, and the Phoenix Suns issue Android tablets to players.

Two weeks ago, German marketing agency Divia released a blog post and infographic inspired by our “Top 30 Teams on Facebook” white paper ranking each of the twenty (20) Champions League teams from 2011 according to the strength of their Facebook Page marketing. Dankeschön Divia for the shout out!

Congratulations to the 2011 NBA champion Dallas Mavericks … they definitely took their talents to South Beach! This week’s Social Mashup as always features four excellent stories including an MLS innovation to All-Star voting, a possible chink in Facebook’s mighty armor, Apple’s introduction of the iCloud, and a Nascar Facebook game.  And we would like to remind you, no matter how much you love Facebook and your Facebook friends, a sleeve tattoo featuring them is completely unnecessary (that includes you T-Pain).

Steve Jobs announced Apple’s iCloud, a cloud storage service for music and information that integrates with various devices, at the WWDC conference last week.  iCloud may change the way we use computers.  Mr. Jobs himself even stated,”We’re going to demote the PC and the Mac to just be a device.”

A little over a year ago, we at Activ8Social produced our Top 30 Athletes on Facebook with Michael Phelps taking home the gold. This year we decided to ask a different question—who is the top professional sports team on Facebook? From Africa to Australia and football to futbol, the competition spanned five continents and six sports. Will you see one of the classic American teams like the Patriots, Yankees or Celtics own the number one spot? Or will it go across the pond to an EPL team like Arsenal or Manchester United?
