In the future, we can expect technology cycles to continue to shorten, making planning cycles less and less realistic and tenable. History, it seems, ain’t what it used to be. Via Kenneth Mikkelsen 
John Michel's curator insight,
June 16, 10:42 AM
Those who subscribe to the great man theory believe that history’s course is determined by the impact of highly capable individuals. While many disagree, it’s hard to argue that talented individuals have not played a part. However, by now it’s clear that intelligence has evolved, partly through the global networks mentioned above. While many still focus on great individuals, in fact, it’s the network not the nodes that create real change. Teams, not stars. Platforms, not brands. Movements, not messiahs. Delete the scoop?

Hi Steve, Scoop.it is a more mature new curation tool, that offers an audience and extra reach beyond its toolset. OpenTopic is a promising and feature-rich news curation tool but we will need to give it a bit more time before making a reliable evaluation. As I wrote it looks that for those interested not so much in curation, but in saving time and having fresh content on-topic to distirbute across multiple channels this is definitely a possible alternative.

The Israel Longhorn Project will be using “Stockmanship and Range Health”
Stockmanship is the science of cattle herd movement without force or stress on the animals. By understanding the body space of animals we can move cattle calmly and quietly with little effort. As in humans all animals have body space. Each of you has experience this when someone has move to close to you when speaking making you uncomfortable and you move away to your comfortable zone. You learn to stay in your comfortable zone. That is what we will teach to the cattle to stay in their comfortable zone and to moving cattle toward it with “Pressure and Release”. Cattle that are moved this way are “Happy” and appear to enjoy moving. We can use this method to prevent over-grazing and over-resting. This means managing periods that plants are grazed and allowing adequate recovery time for both plants and soils. This is and supports “Holistic” ranching and supports the environment. You can find us at: Israel Longhorn Project; Robin Rosenblatt; 815 Hill St Apt 5; Belmont, Ca 94002; 650.631.9270; robin@longhornproject.org or <http://longhornproject.org> We are a 501c 3 nonprofit.

As days passing, Google’s ranking algorithm becomes more complex and volatile. The days were gone when Google just considered meta tags and backlinks for web page ranking but now it uses at least 200 ranking factors in their algorithm.
Google now considers every corner of on-site and off-site when it comes to rank a website or webpage in search engine.
This infographic definitely helps to get an idea of what should be considered in the website optimization process. Truly great infographic.....

Hello {FIRSTNAME}, Hi {FIRSTNAME}, make mo.ney before you ever PAY? I'm super excited about writing this to you. This is by far the best guarantee I have ever seen when it comes to making mon.ey onl.ine. Please just read this email and I know you will see that this is the first time you have ever seen anything like this before. Ian Herculson has just released a new service called Smart Subscriber, where he's full on promising you that if you just 'try it out' that he will in fact make you money as an affi.liate mar.keter... ... BEFORE you have to pay anything. Yes I know, that's insanely good, but it's for real and you can read how he's successfully pulling this off here: http://smart.gurumarketer.com?c=60318 Ian is actually backing up this pretty bold claim too in 3 unheard of ways. Read this... First of all, you don't have to pay anything up front to get started. No credit card, no paypal, no nothing. Just sign up and go. No tricks here, Who does that? Second, he's giving you enough time to really see for real that it will work. How much time? - Not just 7 days - Not only 14 days - Not a measly 30 days - Not even an insane 60 days You will get a full 90 days; yes 3 freaking months for nothing where Ian will be making you a constant stream of commi.ssions without asking for anything back. Tell me where you've seen that before... no where. Third and most importantly, Ian is putting his mo.ney where his mouth is and giving away all commi.ssions that normally he would make to once and for all prove that he can make you mon.ey with Smart Subscriber before ever asking you to pay for his service. Whhaaat! Think about what was just said {FIRSTNAME}. In short; Ian is going to give you a no obligations 90 Day Fr.ee Trial of Smart Subscriber where he will make you mon.ey through affi.liate comm.issions just to prove his service is worth paying for! You cannot lose here {FIRSTNAME}, and I'm sorry to be so blunt but you would seriously be a complete idiot not to just try it with that strong of a promise. Here's where you can go get more information and see how it all works or get started. http://smart.gurumarketer.com?c=60318 See you on the inside {FIRSTNAME}, Mohammed Lakhlili Delete the scoop?

Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the company has sold 13 million Apple TVs during an interview Tuesday. Cook said that for several years Apple was only selling a few hundred thousand of the set-top boxes annually, but has now surpassed 13 million total units — more than 6.5 million of those sold in the past year. Cook said television continues to be “an area of great interest” for Apple. The company isn’t marketing the Apple TV like it does its other products, so the sales numbers for the device are encouraging.

Last year, Anastasia Leng decided to leave her secure, cushy job at Google and venture into the land of startups.
Leng spent a little over five years at Google, where she worked as a product marketing manager. Before she left the tech giant to start Makeably, Leng was living in London where she worked as Google's new business development manager. Google asked her if there was anything they could do to keep her, but there really wasn't. It wasn't about the money, Leng tells us. It was either about striking out or succeeding on her own.
