OMG Facts Kim Jong Il denied his son succession rights because he tried to go to Disneyland! North Korea tries really hard to stop any kind of outside pop-culture from coming into the country in fears that it would destabilize the dictatorship. The state-run media frequently claims that imperialists are trying to infiltrate the country through things like music and television. So when his son got caught with a fake passport trying to go to Tokyo Disneyland, Kim Jong Il took him out of the line of succession and put his younger son as the favored to replace him when he dies. The older son is up to his same tricks, however, as it was later reported that he let his own son go to the concert of South Korean superstar Rain (Source) RockMelt - A shiny, new browser.

Should You Hire Staff Based on Their Klout Score? Should employees be evaluated on the price of their ‘social currency’? That’s a question we were discussing in PSFK recently when our consulting team asked us all to come up with ways to help a prospective client of theirs judge the effectiveness of retained work. We talked at length about using a “Klout score“ as a metric to judge an employees’ level of cultural participation. Klout’s system monitors the frequency and shareability of people’s updates across social networks such as Twitter, Google Plus, Facebook and Pinterest. Through an algorithm, the service gives a score to everyone who signs up – and because Twitter is indexable by spiders, the social scoring service has a number for every tweeter with a public account. You can watch a video of an interview conducted by PSFK’s head of consulting, Scott Lachut, during our San Francisco event last year with Klout’s founder Joe Fernandez where he explains the service and its implications in greater detail.

OMG Facts Caffeine evolved as a POISON! The way that caffeine jolts your brain is this: it blocks certain receptors in the brain and other organs. This causes a set of reactions that results in your body releasing adrenaline. Adrenaline increases your heart rate, blood pressure and blood to the muscles. However, the reason that these effects exists is because caffeine was developed over time as a poison by plants as a way to kill insects that were trying to eat them!

Search Cynical Optimism Date / / Category / Personal Geraldine sometimes tries to describe my outlook on life as cynical optimism. I think that’s a fair assessment. I generally believe that humans will do a lot of stupid, selfish, hurtful, tragic things to each other and themselves. I see this as exacerbated by behavioral and evolutionary psychology, which is poorly understood and even more poorly compensated for on an individual basis. There are so many poor decisions I’ve made personally merely because I’ve been hungry. But, in the long term view, humanity’s been doing remarkably well. (via Pinker’s TED talk) There will be those in every age who argue that we’ve past the climax and that things were slightly better in the recent past. I liked Matt Ridley’s recent piece in Wired- Apocalypse Not: Why You Shouldn’t Worry About the End of Times. This mode of thinking is something I see in miniature throughout my personal life and the eocsystems I touch. Mr. Humanity is a fast-moving target.
The Future of Self-Improvement, Part II: The Dilemma of Coaching Yourself What separates those who accomplish outstanding feats from those who don’t? According to author and researcher Joshua Foer, it’s the dedication and willpower to doggedly push beyond the “OK Plateau.” When most of us learn a new skill, we work to get just “good enough” and then we go on autopilot. We hit what Foer calls the “OK Plateau,” where we have gained sufficient skills for our needs; at which point, we stop pushing ourselves. But experts – those who excel beyond all others in their fields – do it differently. Foer identified four principles that he saw the experts using to remain alert and to keep learning: 1. 2. 3. 4. In essence, those who excel beyond the pack are pushing themselves continually so that they are never on autopilot. An excellent example of these “expert qualities” in action is Rhodes scholar, New York Knicks star basketball player, Olympic gold medalist, former New Jersey senator and presidential candidate, and bestselling author Bill Bradley.

5 Clever Social Media Campaigns To Learn From This post originally appeared on the American Express OPEN Forum, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about leveraging social media and technology in small business. You don’t have to be in the market for a Super Bowl ad to learn the world’s biggest marketers. In fact, as a quick trip to Facebook illustrates, social media has a leveling effect: Whether you’re Coca-Cola or Jones Soda, your Facebook Page looks pretty much the same. Coke’s billions won’t buy a dedicated wing on Twitter, either. With this in mind, the following social media campaigns from marketers big and small are designed to be idea generators. 1. Last March, the venerable Kraft brand launched an interesting campaign on Twitter: Whenever two people individually used the phrase “mac & cheese” in a tweet, Kraft sent both a link pointing out the “Mac & Jinx” (as in the childhood game Jinx.) What you can learn from this: This is a low-cost way to track down potential fans on Twitter. 2. 3. 4. 5.
