The spread of disorder - can graffiti promote littering and theft? [Not Exactly Rocket Science] (3)

Peer Review on Science Blogs (8) permalink
Imagine walking through a neighbourhood and seeing graffiti, litter, and shopping trolleys strewn about the place. Are these problems to be solved, or petty annoyances that can be ignored in the light of more serious offences? A new study suggests that the former is right - even the most trivial of transgressions can spread and spiral because their very presence stimulates more of the same behaviour. Through a series of stunning real-world experiments, Kees Keizer ...- Todd said: PERFECT, Jim. That's the missing piece I was looking for. Read about it in Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tipping Point" and I'm definitely going to ask him about his opinions on the matter...Thanks for the reminder.

新老媒体碰撞 (1)

Melody&Rhythm in LIFE (2) permalink
“新媒体”这个词已经不是什么新鲜的名词，很早就想写些关于新媒体与传统媒体的比较，但是一直没有整理好，不知道从何起笔。记得在7月份Google品牌营销论坛上，于丹说过，新媒体的受众群称为“前倾派”，传统媒体的受众群称为“后仰派”。并不是说新媒体的产生将完全取代传统媒体，而是各有各的特色，各有各的受众面，如何将新媒体与传统媒体协同运作，整合营销传播是现代营销面对的课题。 刚结束的第44任美国总统选举让大家看到了新媒体的力量，有评论称奥巴马的成功，是互联网2.0时代的成功。奥巴马不仅是位成功上任的总统，更是一位出色的广告人。 Blog、竞选网站、Facebook、Myspace、Youtube、Twitter、Google、Email等等都是奥巴马的宣传武器。奥巴马嫣然成为了美国互联网的大红人。他更是将长尾理论发挥了及至。奥巴马是美国第一个拒绝公共竞选资金的候选人。他募集的6.41亿美金中87％来自互联网募得低于200美金小额捐款。而对手麦凯恩的竞选资金中加上公共竞选资金也只不过3.58亿美金。 但是新媒体也并非奥巴马全部阵地，传统媒体仍然不可忽视。互联网投入资金占了其总营销资金的38％，传统媒体仍然占了主体。但是新媒体的成功运用则是推动奥巴马当选的致胜因素。 奥巴马的竞选给我们上了一堂精彩的新媒体时代的营销课程。 相关文章推荐： “互联网总统”奥巴马——美国最出色的广告人！ 网络营销出一个美国总统Shared by 94smart (514)Contribute comment - Konditionen-Anzeiger (1)

Psychology Today Blogs (29) permalink
People are usually surprised to hear I don't vote. I think many have an initial reaction of curiosity and disapproval. People who vote are often self-righteous. I have heard instructors say they give their students extra points if they vote in the election. On voting day, those who say they voted are often congratulated and praised, as if they had donated blood or something. That seems silly to me. Voting is a privilege, not a ...Shared by Denubis (70)Contribute comment - "Terzo settore" su Wkipedia (2)

28个网址缩短服务 (1)

享受软件 (38) permalink
似乎人们都很“痛恨”长网址，于是出现了众多的网址缩短服务（short URL），这类服务通常可以免费使用，不需要注册等等麻烦，立刻可将你长长的网址缩短成通俗易记的网址，便于你自己和朋友牢牢记住，方便你的使用。6月份曾推荐过9大网址缩短服务推荐，事后，此类服务似乎越发“昌盛”，今天重新整理推荐！1、TinyURL TinyURL可能是大家最熟悉，也使用得最多的免费域名转向服务，速度很快，缩短后短小网址有六个字符组成，形式为：http://tinyurl.com/123456 ，但不能自己进行设置。 2、is.gd is.gd 缩短后网址更短，本次测试结果http://is.gd/zjP，共9个字符，缩短比率达67%。还有一大特点就是带有网址自动复制功能，启动该功能，鼠标划过即自动复制网址，尤其是用于缩短下载文件的网址，划过即刻自动下载。 3、URL.ie URL.ie 也是简单的缩短网址服务，长长的网址可缩短为个性的3个字符，并带有Firefox 浏览器插件工具。 4、EasyURL EasyURL 简单地输入长长的网址，点击缩短网址就大功告成了！比较大的优势在于可以自己定义缩短网址域名，也就是说缩短后网址除了后缀，可以个性化域名，更有利于记忆！ 5、jmp2.net jmp2.net 除了具有一般的缩短网址功能，一大特点是可以设置是否网址区域隐藏，可将你的网址掩蔽。另外也具有Firefox浏览器插件。 6、w3t.org w3t.org 的特点是带有“tag”功能，可以自己定义缩短网址的tag，最多10个字符。我的理解是也就是可以自己定义缩短网址的个性化域名。 7、xaddr.com xaddr.com 在线缩短网址服务并没有什么特色，但却是唯一具有客户端软件下载的服务，如果你有很多网址需要批量缩短，安装客户端软件后会非常方便。 8、doiop.com doiop.com 的特点是在缩短网址是你可以自己设置域名，不仅仅可选用字符，也可设置成某一个词组，但是时常会有域名已被使用的烦恼。 9、Snurl / Snipr / SnipURL 总是喜欢把好的留到最后，Snurl / Snipr / SnipURL 无疑是此类服务中功能比较强的一个。不仅可以个性化缩短网址，设置密码保护，注册为用户后还可以随时管理你所有的缩短网址，甚至其他朋友可以通过RSS的方式订阅你缩短后的网址。 10、Budurl Budurl 是一个增强型的网址缩短服务，它在提供了简单的网址缩短功能的同时，还提供了一些非常实用的扩展功能，比如支持用户注册、网址备注、点击量统计、点击流等。Shared by Blue Snow (256)Contribute comment - The DubLi Santa Arrived at My House!
