Five Must-Read Posts from Last Week

This week there’s a mish-mash of ideas, images and presentations. There’s food for thought, stimulation for the senses and some short, sharp shocks to kick start your imagination.

1. Valeria Maltoni shares 100 thoughts on social media
2. Shiv Singh talks social influence marketing and the convergence of online and offline identities
3. Jamie Madigan walks us through the psychology of games – why we do what we do with friends (and screw that other guy)
4. Jye Smith shows exactly how to measure the viral nature of video via the Nike Write the Future video – make your content great, but unsearchable – then leak the direct URL. From 100,000 to 6 million views in a few days. Seems like they know what they are doing.
5. Angus shares photos of the Carpet of Flowers in Brussels. Stunning. Makes me miss my friend Luc.
