a wonderful video send by a colleague after we have held our first creativity and innovation workshop at his university. I truly love the message, but I wonder: Would the results be even better if there is no timeline? I have my doubts. Nevertheless please take your time and watch a brilliant story.

was a song in 60s the by Malvina Reynolds. I did know until my colleague started humming the song while we were working on a new course on creativity and innovation patterns. I loved it so much, since I always declare “we need to get rid of the box”, that I choose we will use as an opening theme of the course itself.
You´ll find the lyrics here to sing along with us

Bill Gurley wrote a detailed blog post about All Revenue is Not Created Equal: The Keys to the 10X Revenue Club which I stumpled upon, literally using the service. It is a purely financial perspective on Internet startups, but it gives a comprehensive overview of a VCs evaluation scheme. Have a detailed look on the article, just to summarize the 10xClub is all about (according to Bill Gurley):

Assignment 4: Social Media Monitoring Tools
To monitor the social media concerning our study programme “Communication and Knowledge Media” I’d like to refer to a previous post that already mentioned that “we’re” not represented in the most popular social media plattform – Facebook. Also on Twitter you can hardly find anything about our bachelor’s programme. So therefore it is inevitabel to set up a fanpage @ Facebook and an account @ Twitter.
I think at this point, it’s not neccesary to discribe Google Alerts, so my tool of choice for monitoring is sysomos Facebook Page Central(FPC). To use this tool, you only have to connect FBC to your FB page. It provides :
More information can be found here: http://thenextweb.com/apps/2010/11/01/facebook-page-spam-control-analytics-and-more-via-facebook-page-central/
In my opinon, Facebook Page Central is a mighty tool to monitor all activities on your fanpage and it would be a great tool to be administrated by our universities marketing department, because FBC let you manage multiple Facebook accounts.
The company also provides different tools for social media monitoring like Synomos Map and Heartbeat. MAP stands for Media Analysis Platform and let you gain insight and intelligence about conversations, why they’re happening and who’s driving them.
Main Features are:
A con of the tool is that the demographical data isn’t always complete, but that’s because e.g. blog owners don’t fully specify their demographical data.

Nachdem Grand Rapids auf der Liste der “dying cities” (Newsweek) erschienen war, drehten 5000 Einwohner der Stadt dieses Video als Antwort darauf.
Ich find das echt beeindruckend und berührend
“”The Grand Rapids LipDub Video was filmed May 22nd, with 5,000 people, and involved a major shutdown of downtown Grand Rapids, which was filled with marching bands, parades, weddings, motorcades, bridges on fire, and helicopter take offs. It is the largest and longest LipDub video, to date. This video was created as an official response to the Newsweek article calling Grand Rapids a “dying city.” We disagreed strongly, and wanted to create a video that encompasses the passion and energy we all feel is growing exponentially, in this great city. We felt Don McLean’s “American Pie,” a song about death, was in the end, triumphant and filled to the brim with life and hope.” – Rob Bliss, Director & Executive Producer
