I have an exam on the 8th June, so this blog’s relative lack of activity will continue for a couple more weeks. In the meantime, here are some things to read:
- Mark Ritson persuasively argues that the 2012 Olympics mascot looks like a penis, and that a terrible research programme didn’t help the process
- Eaon Pritchard thinks that social media marketing is being overrun by gimmicks designed for nothing more than momentary attention
- Eric Fernandez has put together a fantastic visual guide of cognitive biases
- Peter Serafinowitz argues in favour of piracy (even on his material)
- Jason at 37 signals thinks Diaspora, a distributed privacy-friendly social network, has “all the wrong things at the wrong time“
- Sam Ismail on culture, recruitment and the IPA (not the beer)
- Frederic Filloux on the lethal self-complacency of advertising
