Social media has become an essential part of our daily lives, but, with so many networks out there fighting for our attention which networks are we really using? Overall, 72% of adults over the age of 18 used a social network in 2012. Currently Facebook is still the most popular site with 62% of adult global Internet users actively logging in, with nearly half of these users active on Twitter too... Via Lauren Moss

I find it interesting to note parallels and contrasts between use of social networks in f2f environments and online environments. In some instances the online version works better for those who flounder in person. In some cases people who love the real world interactions disparage the online ones. But for most of us, there seems to be a parallel in our patterns and style it would seem. Where should children "learn" how to do this, or is that lesson beside the point at this time?

Over the last several years, the popularity of social media has reached incredible heights—and 2013 was the best year thus far., and many of the mind boggling social media statistics from the past year prove this. In 2013, 95 percent of Facebook users logged into their accounts daily. One of Facebook’s main competitors, Twitter, reached 231.7 million active users. Google+ wants to get on their levels, and it does add 25,000 new users every day. More at the link... Via Lauren Moss

While completely useless to a lost global traveler, Fernando Vicente’s map paintings offer a spectacular visual relief. A Madrid-based painter and illustrator, Vicente uses delicate vintage maps as canvases in his “Atlas Series.” The artist illustrates human faces, animals, and skulls on the maps, allowing the geographic boundaries of each to shape the contours and shapes of his subjects. In dark, lush gestures, he seamlessly orients an ancient profile on the outline of Spain and imagines a rearing elephant’s trunk on the tip of South America. Via Lauren Moss

“ One of Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is to Begin with the End in Mind.”This infographic does just that – recognizing that you need to establish your goals first when looking to your social media marketing strategy. It doesn’t simply speak about conversions – it speaks to the other business uses of social media: Brand Marketing, Thought Leaderhsip, Service and Sales Prospecting. Much of the strength of social media doesn’t come from the immediate push… it’s the echos and volume that are established over time. Via Lauren Moss, David Simpson

When you throw a dinner party, you dream of excellent company, good food, and constant conversation. Social media managers strive for the same thing. The World Editor’s Forum recently published a guide and study on the area of comment moderation. This guide concludes with six pointers for publishers to “promote respectful dialogue and conversation rather than uncivil rants and insults, and allow intelligent, thoughtful input to shine”. So what exactly are these pointers? More details at the link. Via Lauren Moss

We've made such incredible progress with technology over the past 10 years. This chart in the article shows the percentages of the platform that online content is used on. It starts with photos. only 8% of time with photos is spent on a desktop, while the other 92% are using their phone. From here, the mobile percentage decreases while the desktop increases. However we see platforms like maps, games, weather, and social networking being over 50% on mobile. The desktop percentage starts to be over 50% on online content like retail, entertainment news, business/finance, news, health information, and portals. While these are mostly used on a desktop, it doesn't mean that they are not used on mobile devices. Every piece of online content has a percentage of over 25% used on mobile devices.

An easy-to-follow, practical guide to writing the best blurb to sell your self-published book, provided by YA author Sarah Juckes of CompletelyNovel Via Penelope
Penelope's curator insight,
February 6, 2014 2:41 PM
This kind of stuff wakes me up in the middle of the night. A book theme-tagline and blurb. Instead of waking up and writing it down--as I should--I repeat it over and over in my head, and zonk out again. Once awake, I write it down--immediately.
YA author Sarah Juckes gives us a few tips for writing an amazing stand-out blurb that will get people pushing that BUY button.
1) Do your research (check out other blurbs, make notes) 2) Choose a blurb style (layout) 3) Start with a synopsis (freewrite a summary of your novel) 4) Focus on your character & 'Stakes' (intro the protagonist, set up the stakes for character) 5) Find your voice (same voice/style as your novel) 6) Refine, refine, refine (condense it) 7) Map your blurb (map it on the layout) 8) Are you answering right questions? (put yourself in reader's shoes) 9) Choose the right font (make it pleasing) 10) Read, review, rewrite (go over it again and again, ask someone for their opinion)
Once you check off each of these steps, your book blurb should be a winner, and the book a seller!

MAPA of Brazil and Uruguay has built a prefabricated modular home and transported it by lorry to a picturesque spot in the countryside outside Porto Alegre. MAPA built the mobile residence as the prototype for Minimod, a business creating bespoke modular structures; the residential retreat comprises four modules, creating separate areas for sleeping, lounging, dining and bathing within a simple steel-framed structure. The base of the building is raised off the ground to protect it from rising damp and the roof is covered with plants that integrate a natural system of rainwater harvesting and filtration. The structure was entirely prefabricated before being delivered to its rural location, but MAPA says the buildings can also be transported in pieces and assembled onsite. Via Lauren Moss

Having an extra eye in the sky is what Renault hopes will encourage safer driving.
A lot of drivers are more interested in paying attention to their smart phone screens or dashboard displays than focusing on the road. Automated cars aren’t quite here yet to offer a truly hands-off driving experience. Renault is offering an alternative system to keep an eye on drivers and note where their vehicle is headed, a personal drone. The KWID concept unveiled at India’s 2014 Delhi Auto Show features what they call a ‘Flying Companion.’ Via Brian Yanish - MarketingHits.com
