The Living Intelligence Systen -

Thanks to ZenPundit for this fascinating look at a new way of gathering and sharing intelligence. IMO it has value beyond the Intelligence Community and you may glean some value for yourself by watching this short video which presents a way to combine the authority of vertical vetting with the economics of crowdsourcing.

Creating Value jed emerson

This is a 38 minute video ( long but worth it) featuring JEd Emerson Blended Value > About > Jed Emerson at the Stanford Business School a year ago where Jed discusses how we create aggregrate value in the intersection between for profit and non-profit organizations.

I have followed Jed's work for several decades and consider him the most articulate advocate of blended value.

He quotes General Ceorge Marhall on the creation of the Marshall Plan to resucitate Europe after WWII

Make your public speeches Resonate -by Nancy Duarte

I had the great pleasure to attend the launch part for Nancy Duarte's new book Resonate - and not only enjoyed a superbly catered affair, but met a lot of interesting folks in the graphic design, speech coaching and information architecture arena. Best of all was Nancy's heart-felt and powerful dedication of the book to her Dad - and the compelling story of its creation. Nancy signed my book and I will soon be learning from it. Here's a blurb from Nick Morgan at Forbes:

And as an extra benefit for reading this post, here is an example of Nancy's presentation style, proving that you don't have to bore your audience with PowerPoint ( the presentation was crafted using only the PPT tool)

Pretty F**King amazing!-


There are two versions of Marta Kagan's presentation on Social Media posted on Slideshare - The one above garnered 1605 views.

The once below had the word "F**King inserted throughout and garnered 43,000 viewers - Must say something about Slideshare viewers or maybe about the general viewing public.

The presentation is worth viewing in either version, but I will join the F**King crowd and embed the F**King version for your viewing pleasure.

The National Mood map on Twitter

Feeling Moody? How the time of the day,the day of the week and your geolocation affects your mood/

Researchers analyzed over 300 million tweets collected between September 2006 and August 2009 to determine the mood of America over a 24-hour, 7-day period, and by geolocation. The mood of each tweet was inferred via Affective Norms for English Words, a word-rating system that gives normative emotional ratings for English language words.

The video below shows the shifting mood, or pulse, over time: Twitter Mood: The Pulse of the Nation - Tech Talk - CBS News Posted by Dan Farber.
