I’ve realised I read such a lot of interesting stuff every week that I want to document it.
Here’s the first in a hopefully-fairly regular series of weekly round-ups.
Enjoy 🙂
1) Big Data? Meh!
The wonderful Stowe Boyd is a great person to follow on Twitter and his take on 2013’s buzzword, ie Big Data is more than a little interesting.

2. Fair comment?
It’s fair to say that comments and commenters have becomes something of a challenge for lots of sites. However, rather than limit their scope, some sites are going further, including Gawker’s Nick Denton.

3. Vine inspiration
So Twitter’s new Vine video application has taken the web by storm over the past few weeks, as everyone strives to create the best 6-second clips they can to sell their message/product /story, etc.
But surely there are ways to produce the best Vine video, aren’t there? Here’s psychology to give us the answers.

4. Leading questions
We’ve all worked under some rubbish managers and felt depressed by the leadership in an organisation.
But how do you become a good leader and what are the pre-requisites for being one? Harvard (where else?) has come to the rescues.

5. Lost in time
I’ve seen this list before, but this is a really nice infographic to display it better.
Basically, here are 50 things we don’t (or rarely) do any more, thanks to advancements in technology. Reminisce at your own leisure.
