5 Emotions Invented by the Internet
1. A vague and gnawing pang of anxiety centered around an IM window that has lulled.
2. A sudden and irrational rage in response to reading an ‘@-reply’ on Twitter.
3. The state of being ‘installed’ at a computer or laptop for an extended period of time without purpose, characterized by a blurry, formless anxiety undercut with something hard like desperation.
4. The car collision of appetite...

New FDA Anti-Smoking Labels for Cigarette...
The FDA (which can now regulate tobacco products) unveiled a bunch of new warning labels for cigarettes. They’re taking public comments and will select 9 from the 36 proposed.
It doesn’t really look like anyone put much thought at all into these. In fact, they’re pretty terrible. And generic “It’ll give you cancer” messages have been proven...

Changing Journalism, Changing Reuters →
katykelley:
The rules of today’s journalistic world are these:
Knowing the story is not enough.
Telling the story is only the beginning.
The conversation about the story is as important as the story itself.
The more you try to be paternalistic and authoritative, the less people will believe you.
The more you cede control to your audience, the more people will respect you
The more you...

Left Brain v Right Brain v Me.
I did every test on the first couple of pages of the Google results and took screenshots of the results.
There’s a lot of variation in the results of these *totally scientific* tests, but overall, I seem to be pretty balanced.
So, there’s that. If you want more data to analyze, hit me up on twitter, linkedin, flavors.me, last.fm, about.me or krop.

Celebrating the Fiesta.
Ford had a huge social media effort leading up to the launch of the new Fiesta… and it looks like it’s working.
The results are pretty impressive. They’re outperforming every other competitor in their category, capturing a respectable piece of the market interested in imports and driving general interest in Ford as a source for vehicles even in other categories.
And, a...

Interactive Data Viz from Washington City Paper
Washington City Paper launched a pretty awesome interactive interface for analyzing their most recent political polling data.
They’re allowing users to graph data points like mayoral vote by other points like the number of years spent living in DC. There really are some pretty interesting (though not entirely surprising) correlations.

Behavioral Changes | A Handy Chart
Behaviors are described in terms of duration (once, for a set time and for an indefinite period) and the nature of the behavior (new or familiar behaviors, increasing or decreasing behaviors and stopping behaviors).
Charts like these really simplify the formation of strategy by putting the end result (motivating a behavior) in very clear terms.
