Rather, you are suffering because you ate too much of your neighbor’s infamous “Super Bowl Sunday Nachos”, the dish which involves five pounds of corn chips, two pounds of shredded pork carnitas, the jumbo can of sliced jalapeños, and the entire block of Velveeta “Cheese”, melted and jumbled together with assorted ornamental and condimental foodstuffs which… -

How Google Buzz is Disruptive: Open Data Standards
9 Feb 2010 | 11:31 amGoogle rolled out a social stream service today called Buzz. It looks on the surface like Facebook, FriendFeed and other stream reading and writing services. It will compete with Facebook and Twitter. Under the covers, though, this major product was built by a team of people taking a radical new approach to online publishing: Buzz is all about open, standardized user data. Google Buzz data can be syndicated out to other services using the standard data formats called Atom, Activity Streams, MediaRSS and PubSubHubbub. That couldn't be more different from Facebook. Google has taken open data… -
Mobile Health: Will Network Applications Help Us Get Healthy?
9 Feb 2010 | 11:30 amLast week, we were at the mHealth initiative conference in Washington D.C. The keynotes were all about the impact mobile health applications are having in shaping the future of the health care system. Nothing demonstrates that more than the iPhone. In the 18 months since it was released, it has been perhaps the biggest thing to happen to health care electronic records, which has seen billions of dollars worth of investment in past decades. Mobile and wireless health applications directly impact the individual's health and have the promise of ensuring that when a patient leaves a doctor visit,… -
Foursquare Partners with Zagat, New York Times

Keen Betty Boots to the Rescue!
8 Feb 2010 | 9:19 pmEvery snow-prone city has their gold-medal weather person. Here in Chicagoland, it's Tom Skilling. He explains a snowstorm in isobars, barometric pressure and lake effect potential. And baby, according to Tom, we've got a doozy coming. So where are YOUR snow boots? Pardon the lackluster photo above, but I get a kick out of it. Last week at the Y, I was hanging up my coat before starting my daily trudge on the treadmill when I saw them. Someone's Keen Betty Boots! I pretended to be selecting a Pandora station to listen to when in actuality I was snapping a photo of the boots. Is that weird? -

Stylish Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis: Do They Exist?
4 Feb 2010 | 8:44 pmI'm not a podiatrist and I don't play one on my blog. But I do have that nagging plantar fasciitis, which I suspect you might have too. So what do we do, you and I, about our heel pain? Sure, we can roll our foot around on a tennis ball, wear all manner of torture-looking devices on our feet at night and put our Dr. prescribed orthotics in our P.W. Minor shoes, but come ON! Is that the best we can do? Not according to the Barking Dog who dug up a few great choices to alleviate the pain of plantar fasciitis while looking pretty darn good.

Facebook Kills Lexicon, Focuses on Analytics for Page Admins

You could use Lexicon to see how frequently, and when, certain terms were trending in status updates, just like you can use Google Trends to do the same with search terms.For example, our own Stan Schroeder was a bit perplexed a couple years back when the word “sex” had a massive spike in usage on May 30, 2008.

Gucci Paravanda Collection

Never one to rest of her laurels, however, Giannini has, in return, designed a special collection of exclusive items with 100% of proceeds benefitting the Mainly I Love Kids (MILK) charity inspired by said flower.

My grandmother grew up in Shanghai during the height of its glory in the 1920's and 1930's, or as she calls it-- the chicest city on earth (other than Paris, she will admit). Boy does she have great stories of her life as a young Shanghainese socialite (but I'm saving that for my book)!

Yves Saint Laurent Chyc Bag
8 Feb 2010 | 9:00 amThis bag registers so high on the style meter, it is redefining the word "chic"--literally. While on my myriad of Pre-Fall 2010 appointments (translation: the clothes that come out in July and August), I stopped in my tracks at YSL, whose accessories bowled me over. The divine chunky wedges aside, I was drawn to this vintage-inspired handbag. Stefano Pilati went military for pre-fall this year and this bag is the perfect complement to epaulettes, wide leg pants and belted jackets. Doesn't this bag look like something your mom carried when she was young? Who else is having a "Brady Bunch"…

Jean Paul Gaultier
One season, Jean Paul Gaultier is channeling Captain Jack Sparrow; the next, he's thinking about Aztec rulers. He loves a runway theme, but there were none to study at his low-key showroom presentation for pre-fall. What you noticed, instead, were the Gaultier-isms, all of which looked great: a satin wrap dress with an asymmetrical, bra strap-exposing neckline; the kilt trousers paired with a crisp double-breasted jacket; a high-drama aubergine trench dress with a slit up to there. And on the racks: cashmere marinière sweaters knit every which way and one sharp-looking coat after…

4 Steps to Recovery
5 Feb 2010 | 12:28 pmFollowers in twitter or facebook will know that I broke my foot this week - and I have to say I am not the best patient there has ever been! I was thinking that businesses could learn a lot from my experience.When your strategy is "broken" or your business needs "mending" then try a C.A.S.TC = Create a culture which diagnoses the problem quickly. Realizing the problem too late just makes the recovery so much harder...create warning systems to diagnose quickly - trend reporting, constant conversation, constant challenge, listening for pressure pointsA = Articulate simply the recovery process. -

Your brand is social whether you like it or not!
1 Feb 2010 | 1:40 pmThe web has many conversations about brands each day. I often have conversations with people who say "I fear social media, I fear the negative aspect for the brand"What I think is important, is that brands realize that the web is social by nature......and if you don't give your customers something to share, or if you don't give them something to talk positively about.......then your brand still remains talked about, but with you on the outside of the conversation. Your inactivity does not stop the social web, it may even increase the negative aspects of the social web...because people feel… -

What does your organization offer that sets you apart from your competition? And remember competition is not just others who offer the same service — but others who compete for the same dollars. Value is the real heart of why people buy from you. And regardless of the economy, if you have a real and compelling value proposition, they will continue to buy. That’s why some companies continue to do thrive and… -
Can the Union/Management Divide be Crossed?
3 Feb 2010 | 4:51 amHere in Toronto, our public transit system — the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) is currently the focus of considerable negative attention by the public. The public is lashing out at the union as well as management — pointing fingers and making suggestions about how they should each do things differently. General discontentment was smouldering because of a fare increase earlier this year, but their outrage escalated when a picture was posted on Twitter which showed a ticket agent sleeping in their ticket booth. The public was rightly outraged. The senior union official chastised… -
Even Disney Has Missteps
27 Jan 2010 | 3:17 pmRecently Disney introduced their program Give a Day, Get a Disney Day.

However, I wonder if they realized the torrent of volunteers they would unleash on unprepared volunteer organizations. My daughter noticed the ads for this program and immediately wanted to participate. This program will help her earn her required volunteer… -
