The Google+ Common Name policy will never be the same. Google now allows both nicknames and full-fledged pseudonyms on Google+.
More than 99% of those who sign up for Google+ “sail through” the account naming process, but these changes address the, according to Google, less than 0.1% that now end up in appeal. Among that small number are companies (roughly 20%) that Google+ now steers to Google+ Pages, which allows brands to set up destinations on the social network. Another 20%, Google told Mashable “would either prefer to use a pseudonym or another seemingly unconventional name.” The majority of the 0.1% just want to add a nickname.

"Of course companies need to pay people well. If they don't, compensation becomes a bone of contention, and a distraction from their work. But if you really want outstanding creative performance, you need people to focus on intrinsic motivations - factors inherent in the work itself. Things like challenge, interest, learning, meaning, freedom, and creative flow. They are what really motivates creative people - and the research demonstrates a strong link between levels of intrinsic motivation and creativity." Via axelletess

“I know.. getting out of bed can be so hard. But there are ways to make it a lot easier for yourself. And yes.. it is possible to get out of bed easily in the morning. Getting into the habit of rising early gives you some time that you can really devote to yourself. Starting the day with some positive activity or just some time for yourself can shape the rest of your day i a very positive way. Just give it a try, in the beginning it will be hard to get into the habit to get up earlier but very, very soon it will be easier, I promise!”

WE have used the teapot – an object universally associated with tea – as the motif for both the shop, the logo and the PR material. Via BRIO, Ana Cristina De Lion, Anneliza Humlen

By way of an introduction, I wanted to explain a bit more about our thinking behind it; why there is a need for a planned approach to digital marketing, yet the majority don’t have a plan. Perhaps, the best way to explain the need for a planned approach to give you the right focus is through this… A Typical conversation about digital marketing: A person: “How do I get more traffic?” Me: “Do you need more traffic?” A person: “Yeah, of course, we always want more traffic!” Me: “Hmmm, sure. Is that the priority though? Isn’t the real question around commercial growth and the priorities in [digital] marketing to support that in the short and medium term?” A person: “Yes, I can see that. How do I do that, then? Do I still get more traffic?” Me: “Think of it as a process, a set of questions that help you focus on what is likely to be most commercially effective over what you think you should do. A combination of easy wins and opportunities for bigger ideas” The above conversation happens a lot, I find. Someone I’m speaking to will already have pre-set ideas about what they need to do next in digital marketing, it varies drastically and may be about goals, tactics or techniques: SEO, traffic, leads, social media, Facebook marketing, sales, email, QR codes and mobile apps. The opportunity is often overwhelming, being in their job with all these options and the pressure for results, I can see that. There’s genuinely so much to got at, to do and think about. But, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Doesn’t success come from doing a limited number of priority activities, something that’s even more important at a time of limited resources? The answer: Ask better questions Via maxOz
