Ken Morrison's insight:
Everyone is wondering if Apple will be releasing a watch. They should be checking out Pebble. This pebble will be making ripples in the tech pond. Great strategy!

페이스북이나 트위터에서 좀 더 많은 관심과 좋아요를 받을 수 있는 시간대를 정보그래픽으로 간단하게 설명해 놓았다. 정말 중요한 정보나 광고를 올릴때 효과적으로 쓰일 수 있겠다. Interesting article about the best time to post in Facebook and Twitter based on the amount of traffic it gets. It really is important to know that those times will be better to post for more attention and likes but as my professor said, you have to remind yourself that you will compete the most during the peak time.

Let's put it out there right now: I am personally not a fan of Klout, which ranks people based on their Internet interactions and engagement on services like Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.
Ken Morrison's insight:
Why this writer doesn't think human resource managers should look at Klout.
Ken's Key Takeaway: tweeting from within Twitter helps your Klout Score. The head of human resources at sales force has a score of 54. Some people require of score of 35 to be hired. Is there a relation between Klout score and being a good worker? I'm all ears. Managing a Klout score can be distracting. Especially when Twitter should be used primarily as a listing and learning tool (not a talking tool), I think that Klout can pollute the Twitter experience.

Nebraska Boy Ev Williams has done it again. After helping to create Blogger and Twitter, he and his team released 'Medium' this week.

This is a very nice blog. I remember when teachers were excited about the idea of giving everyone a $xx.xx clicker so that we could record everyones multiple choice 'opinion'. If used wisely, Twitter is a much better use of the same concept. I like some of the other opinions as well. Specifically, I like the idea that it connects students in new ways to network and learn answers together outside of class.

Here is the 2013 version of my textbook that I curated for my students at Hannam University's Linton Global College. Next year's vesion will include more of the teacher's notes that I share with my students. I hope that it is helpful for you. If you would like a free PDF version of the book, send me an email at kenmorrison30 (at) yahoo (dot) com or download it at the slideshare site.
I put a lot of work into the 2012 version. I feel that it passed the test of time. There are some updates and additions in this version. I also decreased the size of many images to make it less expensive to print.
Please please please support the real authors of this content. I took great effort to give credit where it is due. I aimed to show my students how they could access enough free info on the web that was of equal or greater value than the wonderful information found in expensive textbooks. Feel free to share and please support the true authors of this book in any way you can (money, likes, blog comments, links, etc.) I am simply the currator of this content.

Not only can third parties tell a lot about your personality, sexuality, and politics by examinging Facebook Likes (see Researchers predict IQ, age, and more using only Facebook Likes http://sco.lt/522wPh), mapping your Twitter interactions can tell a lot about your social interactions as well.
When localized to the employees of a corporation, as a researcher did with Twitter, you can learn a tremendous amount of information about how the company works and what it's working on.

Ken's Key Takeaway: Twitter now has a newer list upgrade. It is the answer to Facebook Groups. They have always had lists, but we can now have people in lists who we DO NOT subscribe to. We can also remove ourselves from other people's lists if we do not want to be on them. It should be interesting: Ken Delete the scoop?

The Genius of the Pebble Watch Kickstarter Campaign
No one told the Pebble watch team they couldn't mashup distribution, pricing, marketing, sales and funding all in one brilliantly executed campaign. The team didn't have the "curse of knowledge". They didn't know how the game is normally played and that is really good.
Their lack of knowledge meant the Pebble watch team turned to Kickstarter to solve problems no one ever thought to solve via a "crowdfunding" platform. My ScentTrail Marketing post notes how getting distributors to come to you is brilliant.
Combine solving distribution with Pebble's amazing "create your own customized Pebble", an idea that puts the celebrity endorsement game on its head bedcause they fought to give Pebble $1200 each, and you get sheer marketing genius.
There is so much genius to go around here every Internet marketing team should study how Pebble solved traditional problems any startup faces with a single stroke of genius and OPP (Other People's Platforms).
I bet you lunch; your team will be using OPP in a similar way inside of two years.
