We're not sure if this is a big psychological level or not, but if we think it's especially noteworthy that Citi broke down through $10 then it's worth pointing out that Berkshire Hathaway fell below $100,000 for a brief time today. The last time they were there was late 2006, which is quant -- only a 2-year low for a financial? The stock ended at $102,800.

Following the ever-industrious CC Chapman's latest podcast, 10 Social Media Things in 10 Minutes, I began to wonder--if someone wanted to explore social media just for an hour at lunch, what would the best options be? What would I recommend someone do to dip a toe in the waters without overwhelming her? CC's list is fascinating, and he kicked me in the pants to come up with my own. Some crossover, to be sure--what do ...

Given that the SIU has been toothless for years and pretty much always backs the police even when they shouldn't, are we really surprised at this?

Jeffrey Hart, one of the intellectual founders of modern American conservatism, founder of the Dartmouth Review, and a private source of much intellectual solace these past few years, makes it all explicit:Republican President George W. Bush has not been a conservative at all, either in domestic policy or in foreign policy. He invaded Iraq on the basis of abstract theory, the very thing Burke warned against. Bush aimed to turn Iraq into a democracy, “a ...

My drive time to work has changed dramatically since I started working with Griffin. My average drive time to the office is about 15 minutes now, it use to be between 30 to 45 minutes. While I’m happy to be polluting a little less, spending less on gas, and spending more time with my family in the morning, I’m also falling behind on my podcast listening. I *need* my podcast time.

前几天看到陈一舟出手kaixin.com域名，今儿又听说kaixin.com克隆了开心网，紧接着又看到一哥们MSN上的签名“有什么不开心的事儿，说出来让大家开心一下”，不禁乐了。 网上有好些文章评价说陈一舟太不厚道，咱是觉得这种评论有点孩子气，就好比批评周鸿袆不该杀流氓软件一样。从商业角度来说，我觉得陈一舟这招快、准、狠，堪称竞争典范。 当开心网/Kaixin001.com成为中国SNS的焦点，光芒逐渐掩盖过校内的时候，陈一舟早就开始了暗暗布局。他躲在角落里，阴冷的目光将程炳浩全身扫了个遍，猛一出招，准确地捏住了程炳浩的睾丸。 当此之时，俺设身处地帮程炳浩想点辙儿，但思前想后，裆部的阵痛让我迟迟集中不了注意力，只想大喊一声：舟哥，轻点儿！可是我仿佛听到了陈一舟遥远的声音：你不是很硬吗？我让你硬…… 有点象火星人方兴东当年的招数，你中国博客（Blogcn）我博客中国（Blogchina），混淆视听，你的用户慢慢也就成了我的用户。（老方这把牌听了，但一直没胡，这是后话。）今儿陈一舟直接你开心网我也开心网，新用户一听开心网，当然直接奔kaixin.com去了，谁还再来个001啊？ 这也说明在当今中国互联网环境下，个人创业有多艰难——没钱买好米，没钱注商标。好创意碰上雄厚资本，往往秀才遇到兵，肉跳心也惊。 真诚说话，我佩服甚至崇拜程炳浩兄台。Kaixin001是中国互联网今年的一个奇迹。这个奇迹遇到的第一个挑战，不是Facebook开通了中文站，不是校内网里上百个Widget，也不是坊间“开心网已不新鲜”式的唱衰，而是陈氏太极中的这一招：虎爪绝户手。 如果程兄能过了这道坎儿，那我敢说：再过三年，程氏开心网会比Facebook更值钱。俺祝福并期待着。

中国9月份贸易顺差达到创纪录的293亿美元，国际需求下滑的预期没有影响到出口商——至少目前没有。然而，分析人士警告称，随着不断扩大的全球金融危机抑制欧盟和美国等关键市场的经济增长，中国出口最终也会开始屈服于金融危机的影响。中国9月份出口同比增长21.5%，高于8月份的21.1%。 高盛(Goldman Sachs)经济学家在一份研究报告中称：“我们预计出口增长的趋势是由此走低，未来几个季度可能会大幅下降。” 不断扩大的贸易顺差——高于8月创下的287亿美元的纪录——将提高中国放缓的国内生产总值(GDP)增速，但也可能会让中国政府最近几个月通过放缓人民币兑美元升值速度以支持出口商的做法，重新引起国际社会关注。 中国9月份进口同比增长21.3%，为一年多来最差表现。然而，资本经济(Capital Economics)国际经济学家马克•威廉姆斯(Mark Williams)警告称：“进口的放缓可以用两个因素加以解释——油价下跌和持续到9月份的奥运相关的工业停产……” “进口增长的潜在强势在一两个月内显现不出来。”作为确保北京奥运会不出现严重空气污染或安全漏洞措施的一部分，今年7月至9月期间，中国政府全面限制了北京和邻近地区的交通和工业——对中国今年夏季经济数据的解读因此变得复杂了。 不过，中国的政府政策重点显然已从遏制通胀——中国今年2月的通胀率触及8.7%的12年高点——转向推动增长。在不到一个月的时间内，中国政府已两次降息，同时通过降低银行存款准备金率来扩大流动性。 中国人民银行(PBoC)副行长易纲上周末表示，预计中国今年的GDP增速将放缓至10%，明年为9%，而消费者价格指数(CPI)涨幅明年将回落至3%左右。 译者/梁艳裳 全文

Social Networks Corvida from SheGeeks did a guest post over at Chris Brogan’s blog about how as the size of her social network has expanded on twitter, she felt the quality of the conversations she was having deteriorated. I think this is something many people have experienced, whether it’s on Twitter, Facebook, or other social networks. I’ve experienced this, as have many of my friends. And no one seems to have found a reasonable solution. ...

A brand has always been about the collective emotion and attachment a group feels about a product or service. It's the culmination of everything from the reputation and graphical representation to how the product works to how it is placed and perceived in the marketplace.
