  • FORTUNE MAGAZINE – informational images
  • Born Poor? | Santa Fe Reporter – Bowles’ most recent paper, published in the October 2009 issue of Science, was a huge project with 25 collaborators. It examines how wealth is transferred from parents to children in hunter-gatherer societies versus agricultural societies.
    That might seem distant from the busy unemployment offices on Guadalupe Street. But everyone can relate to his chosen subject: inequality. He studies the economic differences between people with the same discipline that Jane Goodall studies chimpanzees or Stephen Hawking studies the cosmos.

  • Social Media Analytics: Twitter: Quantitative & Qualitative Metrics | Occam’s Razor by Avinash Kaushik – Analysis of these new social media channels has been hobbled by old world thinking, when it comes to marketing, from the world of Television and Magazines or, when it comes to measurement, from the world of traditional web analytics.

    These new channels, twitter and facebook and youtube and tumblr and, yes, even blogs, are very distinct customer / participant experiences. Stale marketing or measurement thinking applied to them results in terribly sub optimal results for all involved.

    So in this post my hope is to share with you what is unique about measuring one such channel, Twitter. The blog post is also sprinkled with my own words of folksy wisdom as to how you should use the channel for maximum impact.

Daily Links for January 7th

  • Calculated Risk: Fed Fears Long Recession – The Fed projects GDP to decline in 2009 "as a whole", and unemployment to "rise significantly into 2010". The Fed also expects disinflationary pressures to continue into 2010.
  • air_force_blog_char.jpg (JPEG Image, 735×1106 pixels) – This flowchart highlights the blog reading decision making tree for the Air Force. I'd say it's actually quite good, assuming their intentions include being informative and not distributing solely propaganda.
  • Google Trends: sears | closing | kmart – I've had a lot of search queries hitting my site for "sears store closing" referencing the "store closing list post". Based on the Google Trends chart, it's an annual occurrence, right after Christmas.

  • GOOD » Books Are the New Cars» – Another day, another imploding industry…
  • Economist’s View: “Capitalist Fools” – Was there any single decision which, had it been reversed, would have changed the course of history? … The truth is most of the individual mistakes boil down to just one: a belief that markets are self-adjusting and that the role of government should be minimal. … The embrace by America—and much of the rest of the world—of this flawed economic philosophy made it inevitable that we would eventually arrive at the place we are today.

Dodge Challenger Concept Photos

Dodge Challenger Concept Crop

 

Semi-Official photos of the new Dodge Challenger concept for the Spring’s Car Shows have been posted at the Hollywood Extra. 

Looks like Retro-Madness (PT Cruiser, HHR, SSR, Mustang and forthcoming Camaro) isn’t done yet.

I’m suprised they are greenlighting it for production in 2008.

Screw the gas prices, give me horsepower!!

Left Lane News has links to shots of the forthcoming Camaro concept (front, rear, and interior) as well as linking to Autoweek’s spy shots of the (Dodge) Challenger concept.  Looks like the American musclecar is reborn.
