There’s a great divide between when you were an amateur and when you turned pro. A chasm. You crossed it, or you didn’t. This isn’t an original thought of mine, I pinched it (&wholly embrace it!) from my hero Steven pressfield. But it’s true. You lot that turned pro remember that day. That...
Never before has a generation needed or had access to more tools to take on the real work that needs to be done in our societies. New leaders are emerging who are less willing to define themselves with a job title than their ability to create value wherever they are. In response, hundreds of new higher educational programs have emerged that focus on creativity and preparing students to solve the world’s big problems.
This is because education is shifting from a focus on what works for teachers to a focus on what students need to succeed and thrive. Businesses learned this long ago, with the emergence of the “consumer-driven” paradigm—a self-evident revelation that’s easier to agree with than it is to execute. When education serves students, many of the old beliefs become obsolete; schools that considered themselves competitors become partners by sharing content, faculty and facilities, combining strengths, offering more customized learning, and making life more interesting for all involved.
But in order to truly serve the future leaders of our society, we need to look at the existing failures of contemporary higher education, and the innovations taking place to improve them.

Use the ChargeCard to get rid of your old iPhone charging cables
It’s a fair statement to say that during the day, for iPhone users your battery will run low at at some point, and you will need to plug in your phone with the charger and cable to get some much needed juice to your device. However, carrying around your cable is bulky and a pain, especially for guys.

Summing Up Our Digital Divide (via thenextweb)
In tragedies such as these, there is understandably a lot of focus on the loss of life. But the injuries sustained here are war-like. People will be living with unspeakable injuries and making remarkable comebacks and we will cover them for as long as it takes. We will report about how society takes care of these broken bodies and injured souls and we will chronicle their triumphs. We realize the recovery is a huge story in the months and years to come. That recovery is not just physical. It is psychic as well. We have demonstrated that we can stay with a story for a decade in the case of Columbine. This will be no different.
In a thorough Q&A with The Maynard Institute for Journalism Education, Denver Post Editor Gregory L. Moore discusses how his paper is covering the Aurora killings. (via futurejournalismproject)

John Tropea takes a pass at explaining how sharing works on Google+ (Google Plus):
John Tropea
How is it different to Facebook and Twitter?
As an online relationship model; Facebook is symmetric, Twitter is asymmetric, and Google Plus is asymmetric
Follow (asymmetric) - enables you to follow people (those people don’t have to follow you back in order for you to see their content in your stream…you are basically their fan)
Public - your posts are shared in the public
Friend (symmetric) - you cannot read and send each other updates unless you both follow each other (this is called “friend”)
Private - you posts are not shared in the public, instead they are shared with all your friends only (this is called a “walled garden”)
Selective Reading & Sharing - you can also read and share with just a selection of people (this is called “Lists”…this isn’t a primary design feature and isn’t used that much as far as sharing goes)
Google Plus
Follow (asymmetric) - enables you to follow people, just like Twitter, where those people don’t have to follow you back
Public and/or Private - your posts can be shared in the Public, or just shared with All Circles or a selection of Circles
Selective Reading - you can also read posts in a stream from just a selection of people you follow (this is called “Circles”)
Selective Sharing - you can also share posts with just a selection of people (this is called “Circles”)…BUT unlike Facebook, unless “those people you follow in your circle” follow you back, they won’t see your post in their stream, instead they will see it in an alternative stream called “Incoming”.
Posting to Circles
I post about my trip to Melbourne and limit this to my Family circle (this circle has 6 people in it)
Because I’m so used to Facebook I have assumed that all those 6 people will see my post.
Wrong? Only the 4 people that have followed me back will see that post in their “Stream”.
The other 2 people will only see that post if they look at their “Incoming” stream.
The 101 - when you choose a Circle only the people that follow you back will see your post
Posting to Public
It simply means that all people that follow me will see my post in their stream
Just say Judy follows me, but I don’t follow her (therefore I don’t have her in a circle)
And just say I post to a Circle, and not Public.
This means Judy will not see my post at all.
Posting to Individuals (Mentions)
This has nothing to do with Circles.
But just like Circles and Public; Individuals are a selection you can make in choosing an audience to post to.
The way you can post to Individuals is pre-fixing their name with an “@” or a “+”
The difference in limiting to who sees your post using this selection is that it will also send that person a notification that you have “mentioned” them. Which kind of makes it very similar to the Twitter @mention feature. In Google Plus there is a stream called Notifications where you can view all these pushed mention posts.
Google+ requires me to create a mental model: the intersection of actions that I have taken, such as following others or putting them into circles, and the actions they have taken, most importantly whether they have followed me or not.
One snag in this is that there isn’t a simple way to know who exactly will see what you post in Circles when you do so. Another snag is that your stream is defined by the union of all those you have Circled, which is another thing that is not easy to find out.
A confession: I am not currently using Google+ actively. I am sitting out the surge of interest because I actually don’t have a burning need to use it, and the social dynamics remind me of Friendfeed, with the same people advocating it.
The State Of Twitter
If you want to understand what’s going on at Twitter right now, watch this interview thatAdam Lashinsky did with Twitter CEO Dick Costolo yesterday at Brainstorm. It’s about 23 minutes long and covers most of the major issues that the media has been focused on in the past six months. In Apple’s infinite wisdom, this won’t play on an iPad or an iPhone because it is a flash player.

Murdoch: the network defeats the hierarchy
Paul Higgins: Great article on the relationship between the media and the government in Britain including:
The primary function of these journalistic centres of power is to dispense approval or disapproval to politicians. A News International journalist isreported to have said to Labour leader Ed Miliband: “You’ve made it personal with Rebekah so we’re going to make it personal with you.”
That is the kind of power that, until about 1500 on Thursday, journalists in that circle could wield.
