What Social Media Does Best | chrisbrogan.com

If you’re still looking for the best ways to explain to senior management or your team or your coworkers or your spouse what it is that social media does, why it’s different than the old way people used to use computers and the web, why people are giving two hoots about it, here are some thoughts to start out the conversation.

FORA.tv - Fareed Zakaria Post America-Centric World

The rise of other nations need not mean a decline of the U.S., says Zakaria. He foresees a future where the U.S. no longer dominates the global economy, geopolitics and culture, and it needn't be seen as a negative development, he believes; our nation needs to learn to understand other nations and find a way to thrive in this rapidly shifting dynamic.

Tough Love expected in Obamas Berlin Speech by Albert Klamt

it seems to be official. Barack Obama speaks in Berlin in two weeks. Tough Love SPIEGEL ONLINE is describing the awaited speech. See it the same way. The level of transatlantic relations has to be raised from both sides. Its a good sign that Barach chooses Berlin as the European City which is in the heart of East and West, North and South.

The Immanent Frame » Blog Archive » The aesthetics of neural Buddhism

Nicholas Eberstadt - America the Fertile - washingtonpost.com

The concept of "American exceptionalism" has long been applied to the political differences that separate the United States from the "Old World." But America's "exceptionalism" today extends beyond the explicitly political and into the nation's rhythms of birth and death. Indeed, we may now rightly speak of American "demographic exceptionalism."
