Gerd Leonhard completely gets it. This short piece is completely on point.

Some smart thinking here. A few that resonated:
“Marketing is about creative problem solving.”
“Marketing needs to be seen as the group that makes money, not just spends it.”
“I look at my role as part politician, part artist and part scientist. Underneath it all is the need to understand the customer.”
“Marketers don’t need to be statisticians but they do need to understand the data, interpret it and know how it can help deliver on all forms of communication.”
“If you screw up, ‘fess up!”
Beautiful visualization and infographic of my entire foursquare history. Tell me this app isn’t useful…I love this, and it keeps getting better.
Love the Foursquare time machine, especially since Memolane is gone. I know there are skeptics out there, but I believe this app just keeps getting more and more useful.
Deliciousness with a funny, unique story about my “Italian” father-in-law, Moni Malhotra. Well done, Anjali.
Yahoo is definitely a possible contender n entertainment, but can we stop calling it TV?
While I don’t think the new, flat design of iOS 7 is as pretty, it makes a lot of sense to me. When the iPhone first launched, people needed to be trained about how to use a touch screen device, so icons had to have depth and presence. We’re beyond that now. As Ives says in the video embedded in this article, the new design pulls back a bit, which adds more to the experience; it supports the content. The layers are the depth now, rather than single icons or objects. It’s an evolution and I dig it.
I’m also pretty excited about the greatly enhanced Control Center, AirDrop (sharing photos and other content with other people’s phones nearby), FaceTime audio calling over wifi (who needs carriers anymore), updates to multitasking, and some of the other, seemingly small, but important features.
Some of this isn’t revolutionary, but it didn’t need to be. It brings iOS up to par and, in a lot of cases, reinstates the iPhone’s leadership in the smartphone space. What do you think?

I’m as outraged as anyone about Prism, but I’m a lot less personally concerned than most. I’ve always said: everything I do on the Internet is public & permanent. That’s truer than ever today.
