Interesting that Adele got more mentions than Whitney Houston’s death. It says something about the power of the “second screen”. Now we have to decide which screen is the first and which is the second.

How social media is making polling obsolete →
Yes and no. You must remember that social media is a communication- and relationship driven medium.
This means that social media isn’t very powerful medium for understanding how people vill vote. But it’s a powerful way to understand what engages people politically and how opinions are formed and gains momentum.

Why VCs Are Getting Into PR →
“And technology PR is not an easy task—to do the job well, it requires a technical understanding of the product and the ability to digest and relay this information in a communicable way. Startups realize that having this on-hand at their investment firm is an asset to them, Mendell explains.”

“The great irony of the speed and immediacy of the web and the velocity of social interactions is that the far-flung implications – the ones that reach to the very (dare I say) soul of a business – are gradual. Difficult. Meandering and messy. They require careful cultivation, a delicate weaving of very concrete things like process with very philosophical things like intent and the emotional...
