An annular solar eclipse will be visible May 20 from eastern Asia, the Pacific Ocean, and much of the North American West Coast. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow that blocks out the sun’s light. But in an annular eclipse, the moon is too far from the Earth and the sun’s light isn’t completely blocked. Instead, a thin ring of glowing fire will be visible around the black circle that is the moon’s shadow. Above, you can watch a live...  show all text

Using retweets to assess content virality Recently I’ve been running an experiment: Tweet an insight, idea, or quote See how many people retweet it If it catches, then write a blog post elaborating on the topic My recent Growth Hacker post was the result of one such tweet, which you can see above in my Crowdbooster dashboard. I wrote it on a whim, but after the retweets, I developed it into a longer and more comprehensive blog post. (Note that sometimes a tweet is not suitable to developed into...  show all text

Mis demokraatia on? Demokraatia nõuab seda, et rahvale luuakse võimu teostamiseks võimalused ja võimu institutsioonid on üksteisest lahutatud, pandud üksteist kontrollima, tasakaalustama, pidurdama. Inimene peab saama osa ühise raha ja tööga loodud väärtustest. Otsustajate tegevus peab olema nii palju läbipaistev, et kritiseerimine on võimalik nii avalikkuse kui teiste võimuharude poolt. Riigi ja kohaliku omavalitsuse tegevus peaks olema inimest vähim kurnav. Loe edasi >

To help make sense of the Facebook IPO, we caught up with Steve Blank, a professor at Berkeley and Stanford and serial entrepreneur from Silicon Valley. This conversation has been edited and condensed. THOMPSON: What does the Facebook IPO mean for Silicon Valley? BLANK: I think it's the beginning of the end of the valley as we know it. Silicon Valley historically would invest in science, and technology, and, you know, actual silicon. If you were a good VC you could make $100 million. Now ther...  show all text

‘He who is contented is rich.’ ~Lao Tzu Post written by Leo Babauta. There has been little in my life that has made as much an impact as learning to be content — with my life, where I am, what I’m doing, what I have, who I’m with, who I am. This little trick changes everything. Let’s take a look at my life before contentedness: I was addicted to junk food and fast food, and overweight and unhealthy. I bought too many things on impulse, owned too much clutter, and was deeply in debt and struggli...  show all text

    Many dismiss copywriting as something that ad agency people do. Truthfully, all of us need to pay close attention to copywriting if we want to achieve our business objectives. The goal of a “regular” text is to inform or entertain. The goal of Web copy (and ideally your website in general) is to get people to do something—to sign up, make a purchase, or something similar. Hiring a professional copywriter can be very expensive, which is one of the reasons why this is a valuable skill to have  show all text
