Great Britain slipped into recession again this week. Its worth another view of how close we came to economic collapse:
The HBO movie was good. The book was so much better….and rather shocking.

Superbowl Freakonomics
Is the Superbowl commercial price points of $3.5million for a 30 second commercial really worth it?
The NFL, NBC and every Ad/PR firm on the face of the world is saying yes for all the reasons wall street loved credit default swaps: Loads and loads of CA$H! Life must be great on Madison Avenue.
But consider this: would a public auction of commerical time before, during and after be more accurate? Steven Dubner from Freakonomics fame takes a deeper look.
If there is a way to get there — I would make the trip in a ping.
If you listen to all those social media wanna-bees who jumped on the Google+ bandwagon as the latest and greatest social media tool. Seems as soon as they received their beta invite the avalanche began.
Proving that ‘tigers eat their young’ those same pundits are already calling Google+….the next GoogleWave.
Wave? Oh, how quickly did you forget about Google’s last B-L-U-N-D-E-R in social media? Feels like yesterday Google was so slowly handing out Wave invites that it actually killed user adoption by the time they got around to “launching” the product.
Wave was so over-hyped by those same pundits who were also on twitter begging for a Wave invite. I recall them wishing they could be part of the Wave hype….until the exact moment they logged into Wave they found out how complex the UI was presented. Boy did Google deserve one hard shot right to the groin for that social train wreck.
So those who consider themselves social media leaders (or innovators) are actually voicing their displeasure with Google+ after its been public for just 30 days? Oh the irony. I cannot help but relish that quote from earlier this year that puts all those social media so called leaders or innovators into context:
“99.5 Percent Of Social Media Experts Are Clowns”
