The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. Albert Einstein (via tmblg) (via davidkaneda) (via wearethedigitalkids)

I’ve noticed that people who read a lot of blogs and a lot of books also tend to be intellectually curious, thirsty for knowledge, quicker to adopt new ideas and more likely to do important work.

I wonder which comes first, the curiosity or the success?

Yahoo! worked with Decipher, Inc. to create the “12 Weeks of Christmas” Consumer Survey. The survey, conducted in October, polled 2587 online Americans . They told us when they’re planning to shop, what they plan to purchase across retail categories, where they plan to purchase, and what offers/promotions people are likely to take advantage of this holiday season.

Google Wave was built to show younger people how older people feel when they try to use the internet.

I can imagine the value, but I haven’t had a useful experience…yet.

Your brand isn’t a person. It doesn’t have a favorite quote or book. You can’t friend a brand, and it certainly can’t friend you back. Brands don’t have friends. Brands have fans. Fans have discussions about your brands, share news about them, and share information about your brands with others. Dan Zarrella of HubSpot, On Facebook, People Have Profiles, Brands Have Pages
