The Content Strategist as Digital Curator The term “curate” is the interactive world’s new buzzword. During content creation and governance discussions, client pitches and creative brainstorms, I’ve watched this word gain traction at almost warp speed. As a transplant from museums and libraries into interactive media, I can’t help but ask what is it about this word that deserves redefinition for the web? Article Continues Below Curation has a distinguished history in cultural institutions. For a long time, we’ve considered digital objects such as articles, slideshows, and video to be short-lived. Consider some examples: NYTimes.com Topics employs content managers who sift through The Times’ archive to create new meaning by grouping articles and resources that were filed away (or distributed to library databases). More commercially, NBC Universal’s video site Hulu takes videos sourced from multiple networks and then rearranges them into collections that give a new perspective to the collection as a whole. What’s the payoff?

Amazon, the Company That Ate the World Jeff Bezos is channeling Steve Jobs. It’s mid-September and the wiry billionaire founder of Amazon.com (AMZN) is at his brand-new corporate headquarters in Seattle, in a building named Day One South after his conviction that 17-year-old Amazon is still in its infancy. Almost giddy with excitement, Bezos retrieves one by one the new crop of dirt-cheap Kindle e-readers—they start at $79—from a hidden perch on a chair tucked into a conference room table. When he’s done showing them off, he stands up, and, for an audience of a single journalist, announces, “Now, I’ve got one more thing to show you.” He waits a half-beat to make sure the reference to Jobs’s famous line from Apple (AAPL) presentations hasn’t been missed, then gives his notorious barking laugh. With that, Bezos pulls out the Kindle Fire, Amazon’s long-anticipated tablet computer—and the first credible response to the Apple iPad. “What we are doing is offering premium products at non-premium prices,” Bezos says.
Younger, Less Educated Lead Job Gains Since September December 4, 2010 by Dennis Jacobe, Chief Economist PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup's monitoring of the U.S. employment situation, without seasonal adjustment, finds the jobs situation improving among many segments of the workforce, with unemployment among Americans aged 18 to 29 falling the most since September. Unemployment is also down among 30- to 49-year-olds and, to a lesser degree, among older age groups. Gallup's measure of unemployment is based on a rolling average, updated daily to take into account the most recent 30 days of interviewing, with each 30-day average consisting of more than 18,000 interviews. Gallup's November update found unemployment down to 8.8% from 9.4% in October and 10.1% in September. After 18- to 29-year-olds, Gallup finds the second-largest decrease in unemployment among those with some college education, down to 8.9% in November from 11.2% in September. In Real Time, Without Adjustment, the Jobs Situation Is Improving Read more about Gallup's economic measures.

Learning to Speak the Language of Business One of the basic elements of running learning like a business is to speak the language of business. Unfortunately, many learning leaders fall short here, which reduces their ability to communicate effectively with senior leaders as well as their own staff; decreases their prospects for success; and diminishes their prospects for promotion. There are really two aspects to speaking the language of business. First, you need to have the right focus. Second, you need the right language. The focus of a supervisor or staff member in a learning department is likely to be on specific tasks, costs and operational details. Non-profit and for-profit businesses are both driven by the need to create revenue, control costs and have funds available to finance growth. So, to be successful, a learning leader must be bilingual in the language of business. David Vance David Vance is the former president of Caterpillar University, which he founded in 2001.

IEDI - Cartas O IEDI apresenta em duas edições de sua Carta uma pesquisa que realizou sobre a política de inovação na China. Desde 1978 quando iniciou sua reforma econômica, a China vem reduzindo rapidamente sua distância em relação aos países de economia avançada. O sucesso da estratégia chinesa de catching-up se expressa em diversos indicadores. Em 2010, por exemplo, a China, que em termos do produto interno bruto (PIB) em paridade do poder de compra já ocupava o segundo lugar desde 2001 atrás apenas dos Estados Unidos, tornou-se também a segunda maior economia mundial em termos do PIB em dólar corrente. Em ciência, tecnologia e inovação (C, T & I), a ascensão da China tem sido especialmente impressionante. A China registra um notável desempenho na solicitação de patentes no exterior, indicador da aplicação do conhecimento científico. A China também não é mais um país majoritariamente produtor e exportador de produtos industriais de baixa tecnologia e/ou qualidade. Gastos com atividades de P&D.
Ferramenta gratuita ajuda pequenas empresas a evitar ciberataques Iniciativa da Comissão Federal de Comunicações do Governo dos EUA chega para ajudar companhias a desenvolver estratégia de segurança online. Com os hackers cada vez mais de olho nas pequenas empresas, a Comissão Federal de Comunicações dos EUA (FCC) anunciou ontem, 24/10, que fornecerá uma ferramenta online para ajudar essas companhias a desenvolverem uma estratégia de segurança na web. O software Small Biz Cyber Planner fará uma série de perguntas como “A sua empresa usa cartões de crédito?” e “Sua companhia tem um site público?”. Depois, baseado nas respostas ele irá gerar um guia de planejamento para ajudar as empresas a colocarem em prática algumas políticas de proteção contra ameaças virtuais. “Com as grandes companhias aumentando suas proteções, as pequenas empresas agora são os alvos mais fáceis para os cibercriminosos”, afirmou o diretor da FCC, Julius Genachoski, durante o evento de lançamento da ferramenta.
The Age of Coworking: Collaborative Consumption for the Creative Community Report Maria Popova Many coworking spaces are housed in meticulously designed lofts. Photo from Green Spaces, NYC. The shift from an ownership economy to an economy of sharing has been one of the most important movements of the past few years – a concept most eloquently captured in Rachel Botsman's notion of collaborative consumption. A rapidly proliferating number of coworking spaces worldwide is attracting creative entrepreneurs and freelancers across the entire spectrum of vocations, from startup founders to professional proofreaders. In New York City alone, dozens such coworking spaces exist. Coworking spaces fused with incubators are even popping up under the wings of existing funds. I've recently had the pleasure and privilege of joining studiomates — a stunning all-white loft in DUMBO with a magnificent view of the East River and Lower East Side. Mine, too. Not sure how to find one? And, perhaps most important, how many people get to call their office their happy place?
Do Good Investment Managers Give Away Great Ideas? It’s Entirely Rational According to New Study In the competitive, performance-driven world of professional investment management, why would any rational manager share a potentially market-beating investment idea with rival fund managers? And are the ideas they do share any good? Several months ago, I wrote about SumZero, a relatively new private online community where buy-side managers “share actionable ideas with one another and grow their professional networks.” Cross-sectional data on buy-side stock recommendations is relatively difficult to come by, but a trio of researchers was granted access to SumZero‘s data goldmine: a representative sample of the roughly 4,000 peer-rated investment ideas shared on the site, which they found had earned an average market-adjusted cumulative abnormal return of 4.03% in the 45 days after being posted. At least one reader was nonplussed by these findings, though, and wrote the following critique in a comment: Even so, “talking your book” is only part of the motivation for idea sharing.
