How to Change the World (195) permalink
I found a great article called "10 Practical Uses for Psychological Research in Everyday Life." It explains how to detect lies, make your smile more attractive, persuade people, avoid getting scammed, and reduce your cholesterol level. On example: one person expressing an opinion three times has 90% of the effectiveness as three people expressing it once. I love stuff like this.Shared by Aaron (34) Bhavesh (17) BluesForPablo (18) Cast42 (10) CommunicateAsia (9) D Man (15) Edwin Khodabakchian (0) gasenngo (13) Gonzalo Jimenez (3) haraldf (1) J.R.

The Tom Peters Weblog (15) permalink
How's this for a flip? Sunday's New York Times Magazine ran an article called "AntiPod," which speculates about what makes people buy Microsoft's Zune digital music player instead of an Apple iPod. The main thesis of the article is that many people are buying the Microsoft product simply because it isn't an iPod. Given the history of Apple and Microsoft, that's really ironic. At 70% market share, the iPod is the big, bad marketplace monster, ...Contribute comment -

permalinkOf course, the Spiegel piece is well written, well researched and it also references Carr’s ideas. But the German story might be a perfect example on how the Internet is making journalism and journalists both stupid and lazy. Instead of coming up with original concepts, writers and editors of well regarded magazines like Der Spiegel often just surf the web for ideas. Or they adapt other magazine’s stories and pretend to be original.Shared by haraldf (1)Contribute comment

Is architect a verb? (46)

There are great designs that don't look good, certainly, but it's really easy to get caught up in a bauhaus, white space, ...Shared by Aashay (4) AJ (154) Alex (8) Alex Hardy (5) Andrew Boardman (61) Anne McCrossan (5) B O (24) Benjamin R (4) bfernald (8) BruceHammond (1) bryantsai (0) danliebke (47) Dr. Ernie (48) Elliott P.
