The Art Of Storytelling In Business Communications And Public Relations... You could make an argument that the Infographic is the new black. Beyond the visual appeal, Infographics push companies to communicate at the industry level. Specifically, Lou Hoffman contends there’s often a gap between the content developed by the PR function and the type of content needed by journalists, bloggers and other influencers. This Infographic strives to capture this disconnect. By Lou Hoffman http://bit.ly/ORK2U0 Source http://bit.ly/ONbEa5 Via maxOz

Great leaders think strategically. They can understand and appreciate the current state as well as see possibilities.
- Critical thinking is the mental process of objectively analyzing a situation by gathering information from all possible sources, and then evaluating both the tangible and intangible aspects, as well as the implications of any course of action.

An infographic that takes a creative and interesting look at how color is perceived and how it triggers certain thoughts and emotions.
***** Color as signal, color as nonverbal web communication can't be over estimated. I like white sites with color as accents. A little color can go a long way. This is a great chart to remind you what colors to use for what, when. Via Martin (Marty) Smith

As social media's usage has risen, so has people's willingness to share personal information via that medium. People share so much information now that one study said that 90% of adults think people share too much information online.
But what type of potentially dangerous information is being shared and why do people share this information in the first place?
Many social media users simply don’t understand their privacy options — or the privacy policy they agreed to when they signed up for a particular service. (This is certainly a candidate for simplifying legal jargon) Facebook is notorious for its complex and confusing privacy controls, for instance. Furthermore, many social media users don’t understand their right to privacy, either. So much sharing happens by default online; it’s difficult for many to remember what the point of privacy is, or why it should be protected. There are many great arguments for openness and transparency — and not just from the businesses that benefit from each user’s shared information.
Then there are issues with personal information and identity fraud. Where does it stop? How do we benefit from the use of social media, without being overwhelmed by the pitfalls? Check out this Infographic to learn the answers to those questions and more.

"The New York Times has just announced its unprecedented collaboration with Flipboard to deliver "full access to its content" for its digital subscribers" reports TC Sotteck on The Verge.
Read: including articles behind the paywall.
While some obviously didn't like it, I'm not sure news agregation should get in the way of the model publishers want to use. There is obviously technical and marketing complexity in creating a paywall, integrating it with other platforms and educating users to accept it. If the NY Times succeeds in establishing one, it's legitimate to me that they want it to survive other forms of distribution.
But beyond the theoritical legitimacy, I think the bigger problem resides in the complexity of making deals like this. Flipboard and the times must have been through a long negotiation process which meant lost distribution in the meantime.
By insisting on having the paywall integrated, the NY Times makes it harder for the many Flipboard competitors like Pulse, Zite, Feedly, etc... to distribute it. For one Flipboard that can and will do it, many will just pass. They might be smaller but together they might make significant distribution (remember that "Others" section in market studies that usually make the biggest chunk? That's them).
For Flipboard, this also signals to other media that they're ready to do so which will absorb some of their resources and slow them down. This reminds me of the model of the music industry which considerably slowed down adoption of legal music : every new startup in this business had to cut a deal with the music labels and wait patiently for them to have the resources to execute such a deal.
Bottom line for the music industry 10 years later? Not much growth, I'm afraid. Via Guillaume Decugis

... Uberflip has released an Infographic about the future of the Cloud, and what these trends mean for marketers, providing insightful facts and figures about the adoption rates of cloud computing, the readiness of different markets, as well as some case studies on companies that have utilized the Cloud to their advantage. “Cloud-based tools and technology are changing the way marketers reach and engage with their audience, such as the ways in which they can now distribute and store content,” explains Neil Bhapkar, Director of Marketing for Uberflip. “Cloud computing can be secure, allows for multi-device distribution, and ultimately enhances the bottom-line through cost savings and more efficient marketing efforts.” Key takeaways: By 2016, over one-third of global digital content will be stored in the Cloud. Average storage per household will grow from 464 gigabytes in 2011 to 3.3 terabytes in 2016. 79% of companies say that cloud cost savings “have been on par with original estimates or even exceeded original estimates.” The global market for cloud computing will grow from $40.7 billion in 2011 to more than $241 billion in 2020.
Data sources for the Infographic include Forrester Research, Forbes, Gartner and Cisco. Dowlnoad Going-Digital-Uberflip-August-2012 - http://bit.ly/NcOXjz By Uberflip.http://bit.ly/Tma8ip ; Source. http://bit.ly/Qk1Ljf Via maxOz
