Here's my thought (and, I say this with full disclosure that I am no IT expert and have limited knowledge of the hacking space beyond a personal interest in better understanding technology - peace and love... peace and love...), but the process of text-based passwords needs to be tossed out. It just has to happen.
We're all still trying to understand what the ramifications are of this nefarious Heartbleed bug is, and what it all means. Why this is so important to talk about for marketers? The brands that win are the brands that can be trusted. It's like a full time job to manage this stuff, isn't it? It gets worse. Blame the passwords. These systems were built in a such a way that invites problems and challenges. Some thoughts on a better way to connect. I read with interest The Globe And Mail article published yesterday, Fed up with passwords? Organic solutions to technical challenges. By Mitch Joel. Web Strategy by Jeremiah Owyang | Social Media, Web Marketing. By Jeremiah Owyang, from Silicon Valley In many respects, Silicon Valley sits atop the world. Its growth and influence has made it the globe’s top location for innovation, STEM jobs, IT patents, venture capital funding, and Internet and software growth, and Unicorn startups galore.
And yet there’s also been a shift in the Valley’s culture. Growing social and economic rifts have bred fraud, anger and protests. One could argue that there’s an emergence of signs that strikingly resemble Detroit in the glory days of the age of transportation.

Brains On Fire Blog. I asked our super shiny smart intern Kate to help me visually illustrate some of my favorite lines in the Brains on Fire book. I gave her little direction, just marked a few one-liners I love. I’ll share some of her art with you over the coming weeks. If you’ve read the book and have a favorite one-liner, let me know and I’ll ask her to produce it for you when she has little free time.
That’s one of my favorite things about having interns amongst us! Geno, Vicky and I had the honor of attending Love146’s ten year celebration in New York last week. One of Rob’s key points from that talk has been rolling around in my head since Thursday night. There are so many conversations I wish we never had to have. But ignoring a tough issue will not make it vanish. It also takes hope and I am hopeful about many things in our world, even those we sometimes want to ignore. Let’s carry HOPE in our hearts.
