Copyright Math: the best TED Talk you'll watch all year - Boing Boing
By Cory Doctorow at 5:48 pm Thursday, Mar 15 This may just be the best TED Talk video I've seen: listen.com/Rhapsody founder and extremely funny person (and soon-to-be debut science fiction author) Rob Reid examines the math behind the claims made by the copyright lobby and explains the mindbending awesomeness of the sums used to justify SOPA, PIPA, ACTA and the like. Here's Ars Technica's Ken Fisher discussing Reid's philosophy: Reid’s goal was to capture and represent some of the rhetoric from that past decade and a half in a way that would fill the hall with laughter, even if some of it came at the expense of some clearly ridiculous industry arguments. “Everyone can laugh at silly infographics,” Reid opined while silently crushing the serious journalism dreams of hacks everywhere.How to Build Profitable Hyperlocal Websites | Entreproducer
I’m often asked what kind of sites I’d be building if I wasn’t running Copyblogger Media. Actually, I’m in the process of producing a few new projects, and they are all of the hyperlocal variety.

Remember that special moment when we all realized that the Web was going to remake yard sales and auctions, but we didn’t know yet who was going to win? (And then eBay left the rest in the dust?) Such a moment has come again, and with a choice prize: Investing in start-ups. The House has already passed crowdfunding legislation, by a whopping majority. The president supports it. Senators on both sides of the aisle (Merkley, Bennet, and Brown) have agreed on a version.

Using Great Storytelling To Grow Your Business | Fast Company
Every two months, I pull together a community of innovators. We meet somewhere in New York City, usually a boardroom overlooking a park or cityscape. But last month we all found our way into an acting studio operated by The TAI Group to learn about storytelling. The members of this group certainly already know something about the topic. They are senior executives at some of the largest corporations, partners in some of the most prestigious consulting and private equity firms, and several cutting-edge entrepreneurs. But the more you know, the more you realize there is to learn, and this group wanted to learn more about how to use effective storytelling to drive change in and grow their organizations.
Best Western announced last week that it’s launched the capability to book at its hotels via its Facebook page . The company has long given customers the ability to book via the web as well as smartphones, so this is just one more way for its customers to connect. That’s a pretty savvy move, too, considering that as of this writing, there are over 260,000 fans on the site, and they’re pretty engaged, too. That’s significantly better than several of its competitors. It’s been pretty interesting to see how various brands have been improving their connection to their customers via social media.

UPDATE: If you would like to see the newest version of my Social Media Marketing Rate Sheet , please Click Here .
