See how it works here. Today's CEO is not social. While one can only speculate about the future of CEOs and social media, there's no question that social media plays a huge part in life and the world as we know it right now. As younger CEOs replace older ones, news consumption habits change and social media continues its trend towards ubiquity, there's little question that the man (or woman) at the top will need a firm grasp on social media — whether that be for recruiting, scouting, public engagement or social CRM. The Next Generation of CEOs When it comes to CEOs, there's a vast disparity between the young ones heading up startups and the more seasoned CEOs running the world's most powerful companies. Let's have a gander at some stats on the status quo. CEOs and the Future
Best Free Content Curation Tools 2012
Content Curation has been on the upside lately, and while there are some who don’t think that it is an ethical form of “content creation”, there are those that think completely the opposite. Whichever side you choose to be, you should know that if you do decide to “curate content”, to always give credit to its original source and never copy an entire article even if you are linking back to its original author. That does not have anything to do with curation and may even be considered as stealing content. While I am at it, creating a list of useless links is also not regarded as curating content.

Why Does ‘Twitter API’ Keep Asking for My Password? | Epicenter
Sites around the web are getting splashed with a mysterious dialog Tuesday, thanks to a change in the way Twitter handles user authentication. Some Wired.com website visitors see the dialog box shown here when visiting any of this site’s blogs. It states that a username and password are being requested by Twitter, with the unhelpful message, “Twitter API.” The same dialog has been spotted on ReadWriteWeb and even on Twitter’s own website. In addition, users of some Twitter apps, including Twitter’s own Tweetie and BlackBerry apps, Tweetdeck and Twitterrific, have complained of Twitter login problems. In the case of the website dialog, entering your username and password doesn’t do anything useful, and won’t make the dialog box go away. The cause of the trouble appears is a change in the way Twitter handles user authentication for remote sites and programs. However, now that Twitter has switched, programs and sites using the old authentication method are not working properly. See Also:

10 Reading Revolutions Before E-Books - Science and Tech
1. The phrase "reading revolution" was probably coined by German historian Rolf Engelsing. He certainly made it popular. Engelsing was trying to describe something he saw in the 18th century: a shift from "intensive" reading and re-reading of very few texts to "extensive" reading of many, often only once. Think of reading the Bible vs reading the newspaper. History, of course, is rarely so neat, and other historians quickly found counterexamples of extensive premodern reading (Cicero and his letters) and intensive reading today (the way the Romantics brooded over The Sorrows of Young Werther, or our contemporaries over that very different contemporary Werther, Harry Potter). 2. But first, let's apply a clean explanatory schema or three to the print revolution to see how each one fits. 3. This fusion of orality and literacy helps explain the potency of classical Hellenic culture. 4. 5. 6. 7 & 8. 9. And that's the common thread to all of these revolutions. 10. Images: 1.
