Three Myths Why Some Businesses Are Not Using Pinterest | Mauco ...

Myths About PinterestThe majority of Pinterest users today are using this new pin-board style social platform for topics such as fashion, furniture, food and travel. Even if your business does not fall into any of these categories do not be quick to write off Pinterest as a social platform worth exploring to grow your business online.

Here are three popular myths on why some businesses are not using Pinterest ? and why they they?re wrong.

Myth 1: Pinterest is only for fashion, furniture, food etc.

Since the majority of Pinterest users are using it for fashion, furniture and food related topics, many brands have held on to the myth that Pinterest is not for their audience. This myth is rapidly being broken by forward thinking brands from different industries that have found a unique way to take advantage of Pinterest. Check out my Mauco Enterprises or my personal account to see how am taking advantage of this fast growing social platform to promote my business online.

Myth 2: Pinterest is only visual

Whilst it is true that Pinterest relies only on visual content, that does not mean that businesses that produce more of non-visual content still cannot use Pinterest. Where possible, you can consider converting your existing text related content to infographics which you can pin to your pin boards.

Myth 3: Pinterest does not have business pages

For now, Pinterest does not have business pages. But that does not rule out the possibility of same in the near future. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+? etc all started with individual accounts only to follow it later with brand pages. So it?s a good idea to get your brand on Pinterest now, pending the time they roll out brand pages etc.

To Pin or Not To Pin

As to whether or not Pinterest is right for your brand or not, only you can decide that. Nevertheless it is worth mentioning that according to a recent study, Pinterest is driving more traffic to websites than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined. Pinterest is also attracting a very engaged user base with users increasingly spending more and more time on the social platform. Backlinks from your pins can also help to boost your SEO efforts. Having a Pinterest account will also help to provide persons discovering your brand from that social platform a new and fresh perspective on your brand.

Conclusion

If you don?t have a Pinterest account, I?ll encourage you to consider signing up. Do you have a Pinterest account? Follow Mauco Enterprises or Ademola Abimbola and I?ll follow you back!

Procter & Gamble fiscal 1Q earnings dips

(AP) ? Procter & Gamble said Thursday that its fiscal first quarter net income fell 7 percent, as costs related to restructuring and the stronger dollar weighed on results.

But the world's largest consumer products maker's adjusted results beat expectations on Wall Street, as it cut costs, made market share gains and commodity costs eased. The results were a much needed positive for CEO Bob McDonald, who some have criticized for not doing enough to turn around results. Shares rose 2 percent in premarket trading.

Procter & Gamble, which makes well known consumer goods including Tide detergent and Pampers diapers, said it held or grew market share in businesses representing over 45 percent of its sales during the quarter, up from 30 percent in the fourth quarter. That jumped to nearly 60 percent in the U.S., up from 15 percent in the fourth quarter. Its market share is still slightly down globally, but the Cincinnati company expects global market share gains by the second half of the year.

P&G admitted to missteps in pricing and in balancing growth in emerging markets, which account for about 30 percent of its sales, amid an uncertain global economy and lackluster market share growth overall. As growth in developed markets slowed, consumer product makers have looked abroad for new customers.

It is a tricky balancing act for all consumer product makers, particularly as the European economy remains under pressure and growth slows in China. On Wednesday Kimberly Clark said it will exit its European diaper business. And on Thursday Colgate said it will cut 6 percent of its workforce by the end of 2016.

In May P&G announced a plan to focus on its 40 top businesses, 20 biggest new products and 10 most profitable emerging markets, as it is undergoes a cost-cutting plan aimed at saving $10 billion by fiscal 2016.

"We're confident that this strategy will enable P&G to generate superior levels of shareholder return in both the short and long term," CEO McDonald said.

The pressure is on since activist investor William Ackman, known for agitating for change in companies he has a stake in, has disclosed that he has a 1 percent stake in the Procter & Gamble.

In the June-to-September quarter, Procter & Gamble's net income fell to $2.81 billion, or 96 cents per share. That's down from $3.02 billion, or $1.03 per share, last year.

Excluding restructuring and European legal charges, its so-called core earnings were $1.06 per share. Analysts expected 96 cents per share.

Revenue fell 4 percent to $20.74 billion. Analysts expected $20.79 billion. The stronger dollar, which cuts into the value of overseas sales, hurt revenue by six percentage points, the company said.

For the current quarter, Procter & Gamble predicts adjusted core earnings of $1.07 to $1.13 per share with revenue ranging from down 1 percent to up 1 percent, implying revenue $21.88 billion to $22.32 billion. Analysts expect net income of $1.09 on revenue of $21.76 billion.

For the full year P&G kept its guidance for adjusted core earnings of $3.80 to $4 on flat revenue growth to up 1 percent. That implies $83.68 billion to $84.52 billion. Analysts expect net income of $3.90 per share on revenue of $84.38 billion.

Procter & Gamble shares rose $1.52, or 2.2 percent, to $69.60 in premarket trading.

American Horror Story, Season 2

Photo by Michael Becker/FX.

Every week in?Slate?s?American Horror Story TV club, J. Bryan Lowder will have an IM conversation with a different?AHS fan. This week, he rehashes episode 2.2 with Abby Ohlheiser, a Slate contributor.

J. Bryan Lowder: Good evening, Abby! The final thwack of Sister Jude's cane on Kit Walker?s bare bottom is still resonating in my ears. How are you feeling after that failed escape attempt?

Abby Ohlheiser: It seems like this season is carrying over the kinky spirit of the latex suit from the ?Murder House? story line, at least.

Lowder: Someone on the production team clearly has an interest in S&M. I thought this episode's demonic possession subplot was a pretty compelling take on the old Exorcist trope. What say you?

Ohlheiser: Definitely, especially considering the way in which the possession scene threw a spotlight on the science/religion duality that I'm sure we're going to see a lot more of as this season continues. This episode had me at the MAN OF SCIENCE forcing a nun to eat the candy apple (of knowledge of good and evil).

Lowder: I know, right? That candy apple was really tweaking me out, and lo and behold if Sister Mary didn't "fall" (possessed herself, I believe) by the end of the episode.

Ohlheiser: The good doctor likes to wield his symbols with a pretty heavy hand?I also chuckled at the giant knife in the dinner scene later on. It's delightful.

Lowder: I like the science/religion conflict too, especially now that we have Zachary Quinto as the good doctor Thredson to complicate ?reason? a little more beyond the mad-scientist cliche of Dr. Arden. I was really taken with the arbitrariness of his diagnosis of Kit; it seemed just as groundless as the religious dogma he's so critical of.?"Acute clinical insanity?: What does that even mean?

Ohlheiser: I wrote down that exact question! It sounds like a whole lot of "I don't know." I also thought it was great in this episode how they brought out some of the internal tension in Jude's character: She started to get a bit Walter White-esque in the electroshock therapy scene. And Holy Moly on her back story as a lush lounge singer!

Lowder: Commenters weren't convinced last week that Jude is morally complicated, but I think this episode clearly shows that to be the case. She exhibits such a riveting mix of sadism and mercy?or at least sympathy. The electroshock scene you mention was key for that, but it was evinced elsewhere as well. She's always overstepping moral boundaries and regretting it and trying to atone. It's all very Catholic, which I guess makes sense.

Ohlheiser: I buy that Jude is a true believer, or at least really good at repenting.

Lowder: Speaking of Catholicism, I wanted to note that the demonic possession is the first truly supernatural event we've seen this season (I'm counting aliens as natural). Ryan Murphy has stated that the horror this season comes more from real-life situations (forced incarceration, medical malpractice, etc.) than from ghosts and goblins. What do you think about that choice? I'm kind of into the balance so far?I hope Sister Mary's apparent possession doesn't become too much of a driving force going forward.

Ohlheiser: I was disappointed to see the exorcist fly across the room, actually, for that exact reason. While clearly possessed teenagers are great ways for writers to get some expository information out on the main characters (like that "I'm glad I gave you up" comment he made to Threadson), I was kind of hoping someone would at least mention schizophrenia or some other explanation for the boy's behavior before we went right into the supernatural. But maybe that's the X-files fan in me getting ahead of myself on this one.

Lowder: I have to admit that I love that demon-knowing-your-dark-secrets-trope. It reminded me of Stephen King's Storm of the Century. There's something far more violent and creepy about that kind of violation than physical harm, at least to my mind. One last theme I'd like to pull out?one I mentioned last time?is this show?s very unique feminist streak. I think we saw that again tonight in both Shelley?s little back-story about just loving sex and being the victim of misogyny, as well as in Sister Jude's being excused from the room during the exorcism for not being "strong enough." Do you find this theme compelling at all, or out of place? Female desires of all kinds are clearly marked as frightening to those around them in this show's universe.

Ohlheiser: I find it extremely compelling, because it connects nicely into the knowledge and power undertones of the show. It was really interesting to me, for example, that the demon in the possession scene tells Jude "It drives you crazy, doesn't it? To be the smartest person in the room...but with no real power." Of course, when she's found in the room with the boy after being told not to go in there, her excuse is "I was weak."

Lowder: I'm wondering if Jude's last admission of frailty is going to get her in trouble with her beloved (be-lusted?) Monsignor on the next episode.

Ohlheiser: Speaking of which, I'm also wondering if in Sister Jude?s red negligee, the writers are playing with the plot of Bette Davis's Jezebel?the film where a red dress leads to the complete destruction of the protagonist's life, and then her repentance.

Lowder: Ooh! Given Murphy's camp credentials, I'd bet a night in Briarcliff that he's seen every Bette Davis movie. Maybe our commenters can scour it for more clues. But before we go, I have to ask it: Is Dr. Arden our friend Bloody Face? The show is certainly pushing us that way, which makes me inclined to doubt it?

Ohlheiser: I'm also thinking it's a fake-out. Bloody Face reminds me, I'd completely forgotten about Wendy. I wonder when we'll find out what happened to her.

Lowder: Good question. I fear she may gone the way of Adam Levine, which is to say?probably?dead. But you never can tell on this show.

Ohlheiser: Yeah, I'd hate to lose Clea DuVall so early on in the series, so I'm hoping against my better instinct that there's a reason the writers have left her fate ambiguous. Or maybe it's just their sadistic side coming out once again.

Lowder: I fear the latter?there?s enough sadism in this show to make the Marquis de Sade wince.?

Thursday: What other writers and Slate commenters thought about Episode 2.

DNP Autotune this! Research team restores 134 yearold audio recording

A Berkeley Lab research team in California has successfully restored a 134 year-old audio recording. The historic audio was originally captured in 1878 by a phonograph designed by Thomas Edison, which consisted of a cylinder wrapped in tinfoil that used a stylus to record sound on the surface of the material. Due to the foil's frailty, recordings were only good for a few playbacks on Edison's phonograph. To restore this century-old mixtape, the research team created a 3D model of the grooves in the foil and ran it through a software that recreated the original audio track. As for the great mystery of the recording's contents, it's a 23-second horn instrumental followed by what is believed to be political writer Thomas Mason reciting Mary Had a Little Lamb and Old Mother Hubbard. Using modern technology for playback, the restored recording is set to have a listening party this week at the Museum of Innovation and Science in New York.

School bus, truck crash in Pa. _ without drivers

(AP) ? Police don't plan to cite the drivers of a truck and school bus which crashed in western Pennsylvania.

But only because neither vehicle had a driver when they wrecked.

Police in Patterson Township tell the Beaver County Times (http://bit.ly/UBPOwQ ) the incident happened just before 10 a.m. Tuesday when the parked bus began to roll down a hill. Police aren't sure why that happened, because the driver had engaged the parking brake.

The bus rear-ended a parked truck, which also began rolling down the hill alongside the bus, until the truck flipped onto its side. The bus continued on, shearing off one utility pole and hitting another before rolling to a stop a few feet from the porch of a home.

Nobody was hurt.

Patterson Township is about 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

Short Interval Training Burns Big Calories

60-Second Science

Active young men burned 200 more calories on days when they did five 30-second sprints on an exercise bike. Christopher Intagliata reports

More 60-Second Science

Want to exercise, but don't have enough time? Forget slogging half an hour on the treadmill. You can burn the same number of calories with a few quick sprints on an exercise bike. So says a study presented at a meeting of the American Physiological Society. [Kyle Sevits et al., A Single Session of Sprint Interval Training Increases Total Daily Energy Expenditure]

Researchers studied 10 active young men. For three days, the men ate an energy-balanced diet--meaning calories in matched calories out. Then, still on the diet, each guy spent two days living in a sealed chamber, so researchers could monitor oxygen and CO2 levels?a way of exactly calculating calories burned.

Just hanging out watching TV, the guys burned 2,200 calories a day. But they burned 200 more on days when they did five 30-second sprints on an exercise bike. Now, these were not laid-back efforts. The guys pedaled as hard as they could, and had to take four-minute rest breaks in between.

Previous studies show that sprint training like this improves the body's response to blood sugar, possibly helping to stave off diabetes. And the researchers say it may be an alternative to endurance exercise for burning calories. That is, if you don't mind really feeling the burn.

New analysis provides fuller picture of human expansion from Africa

Tuesday, October 23, 2012

A new, comprehensive review of humans' anthropological and genetic records gives the most up-to-date story of the "Out of Africa" expansion that occurred about 45,000 to 60,000 years ago.

This expansion, detailed by three Stanford geneticists, had a dramatic effect on human genetic diversity, which persists in present-day populations. As a small group of modern humans migrated out of Africa into Eurasia and the Americas, their genetic diversity was substantially reduced.

In studying these migrations, genomic projects haven't fully taken into account the rich archaeological and anthropological data available, and vice versa. This review integrates both sides of the story and provides a foundation that could lead to better understanding of ancient humans and, possibly, genomic and medical advances.

"People are doing amazing genome sequencing, but they don't always understand human demographic history" that can help inform an investigation, said review co-author Brenna Henn, a postdoctoral fellow in genetics at the Stanford School of Medicine who has a PhD in anthropology from Stanford. "We wanted to write this as a primer on pre-human history for people who are not anthropologists."

This model of the Out of Africa expansion provides the framework for testing other anthropological and genetic models, Henn said, and will allow researchers to constrain various parameters on computer simulations, which will ultimately improve their accuracy.

"The basic notion is that all of these disciplines have to be considered simultaneously when thinking about movements of ancient populations," said Marcus Feldman, a professor of biology at Stanford and the senior author of the paper. "What we're proposing is a story that has potential to explain any of the fossil record that subsequently becomes available, and to be able to tell what was the size of the population in that place at that time."

The anthropological information can inform geneticists when they investigate certain genetic changes that emerge over time. For example, geneticists have found that genes for lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity began to emerge in populations expanding into Europe around 10,000 years ago.

The anthropological record helps explain this: It was around this time that humans embraced agriculture, including milk and wheat production. The populations that prospered ? and thus those who survived to pass on these mutations ? were those who embraced these unnatural food sources. This, said Feldman, is an example of how human movements drove a new form of natural selection.

Populations that expand from a small founding group can also exhibit reduced genetic diversity ? known as a "bottleneck" ? a classic example being the Ashkenazi Jewish population, which has a fairly large number of genetic diseases that can be attributed to its small number of founders. When this small group moved from the Rhineland to Eastern Europe, reproduction occurred mainly within the group, eventually leading to situations in which mothers and fathers were related. This meant that offspring often received the same deleterious gene from each parent and, as this process continued, ultimately resulted in a population in which certain diseases and cancers are more prevalent.

"If you know something about the demographic history of populations, you may be able to learn something about the reasons why a group today has a certain genetic abnormality ? either good or bad," Feldman said. "That's one of the reasons why in our work we focus on the importance of migration and history of mixing in human populations. It helps you assess the kinds of things you might be looking for in a first clinical assessment. It doesn't have the immediacy of prescribing chemotherapy ? it's a more general look at what's the status of human variability in DNA, and how might that inform a clinician."

###

The study is published in the current edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and was co-authored by Feldman's longtime collaborator, population geneticist Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza of Stanford and the Universit Vita-Salute San Raffaele in Italy.

Econs Tuition A Part Of Self Improvement: Coaching ? The Buzz Ear

The principle of preparation cannot be overemphasized. Whatever need of preparation you have won?t appear on the time of preparation, but much later when significant moments happen. Within lasting relationships, open as well as sincere interaction is the foundation. This also indicates being willing to go through the necessary difficulties to be able to achieve a good relationship. Financial literacy is among the foundations of planning for a family. Appropriate education is a second keystone. The third is spiritual development. These three prepares anybody to build a home and family.

The subject of economics is taught to students during junior college (JC) in Singapore. Since it is an application of Mathematics, students are given free tutorial services after school by their teachers for one or two hours. Unfortunately, there ratio of teachers to students aren?t enough. Too tense scheduling is not good for the teachers? routine. So, JC economics tuition is the finest as well as only option available. We don?t fret about tight and frantic schedules any longer.

Financial literacy is not directly taught by means of economics tuition. But the mature experiences of the tutor could be instrumental in vicariously making the student comprehend the need to balance needs with capital and where to get information or what to try and do should the wealth prove deficient. The proper education prerequisite can be resolved through the instruction of the tutor and the keeping track of of the performance by assessment tools like quizzes and oral exams. They calculate the personal development rate of the students.

Economic literacy is accomplished by the gathering of concepts learned by the students during school, from the teachers, along with their individual experiences that reinforce what they learned; vicarious learning through the experiences of company owners within the community; and, associated principles of macro and micro economics.

Econs tuition is simply another name for economics tuition. Spiritual maturity is still taught by parents in the family as they educate their children to develop relationships of faith with other people!

Improving the safety of angioplasty in patients with coronary bypass graft disease

ScienceDaily (Oct. 22, 2012) ? Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital have shown that combining distal protection devices with the prophylactic use of the drug nicardipine is more effective at preventing life-threatening complications following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (angioplasty, stenting) on patients who have undergone previous bypass surgery than distal protection devices alone.

Their findings will be presented on Tuesday, October 23rd, at 8 a.m. at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference, at the Miami Beach Convention Center by Michael P. Savage, MD, Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Jefferson.

Angioplasty or stenting on bypass vessels, called saphenous vein grafts, is associated with a high risk of complications due to distal embolization, the dislodging of plaque and clots downstream, impairing blood flow and leaving patients at-risk for a heart attack.

Distal protection devices are commonly used to prevent blockages by catching the dislodged plaque and clot in a basket-like device, allowing blood to filter through the bypassed artery. Still, complications remain in up to 10 percent of patients. Preliminary studies have suggested that prophylactic doses of the drug nicardipine, a common intracoronary vasodilator, can also help in this regard, but never have the two techniques been combined.

Savage and colleagues looked at clinical outcomes at 30 days post-PCI in 163 consecutive patients with prior bypass surgery. Group I consisted of 60 patients who underwent PCI using a distal protection device alone (no pre-treatment with nicardipine); Group II included 103 patients who underwent PCI with a distal protection device and pre-treatment with prophylactic nicardipine.

Both groups had similar baseline demographics including age (early 71 +/- 10 years), diabetes (47 vs. 44 percent) and bypass graft age (13 +/- 6 years). Group II had longer lesion length, requiring a longer stent and placing these patients at higher risk for complications.

At 30-days post-PCI death, heart attack, bypass or repeat PCI occurred in 10 percent of patients in Group I and in only one percent of patients in Group II. Mortality was 3.3 percent in Group I vs. zero in Group II, and incidence of MI was 10 percent in Group I vs. one percent in Group II. There was zero incidence of CABG, repeat PCI or stent thromboses in either group.

"Through the combined power of these two therapies, we have a new approach that is improving outcomes for this high risk subset of patients," says Savage.

Additional Jefferson researchers include: David L. Fischman, MD, Co-director, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory; Paul Walinsky, MD, Director, Cardiac Care Units; Nicholas J. Ruggiero II, MD, Director, Structural Heart Disease and Non-Coronary Interventions; Suzanne Adams, Manager, investigator initiated research -- Jefferson Coordinating Center for Clinical Research; J. David Ogilby, MD, Co-director, Interventional Cardiology; Babu Jasti, MD; Harnish Chawla, MD; and Michael Gannon, MD.

At a campaign rally in Florida, he said the Obama campaign had been ?reduced to petty attacks and silly word games?.

Hours earlier, Mr Obama decried Mr Romney for shifting his positions as election day draws nearer, saying the Republican suffers from ?Romnesia?.

The two meet for their final debate, on foreign policy, in Florida on Monday.

Mr Romney and the Republicans are continuing to focus on the Obama administration?s handling of a deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans including the US ambassador were killed.

The incident provoked a flashpoint during Tuesday?s second debate, and is likely to be hotly debated again in Boca Raton.

?Romnesia?

Friday?s campaigning saw both candidates make one major stop each: Mr Obama in the Washington DC suburb of Fairfax, Virginia, and Mr Romney in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Mr Obama told supporters that Mitt Romney was now only becoming more moderate as the election got closer.

?He is forgetting what his own positions are and he is betting that you are too,? Mr Obama said, giving his rival?s ?condition? a crowd-pleasing name: ?Romnesia?.

The president renewed his pitch to women voters, arguing that ?you don?t want someone who needs to ask for binders full of women,? a reference to Mr Romney?s description of how he recruited women for cabinet positions as governor of Massachusetts.

?You want a president who?s already appointed two unbelievable women to the Supreme Court of the United States.?

Former President Bill Clinton also campaigned for Mr Obama on Friday in Wisconsin.

Mr Romney, appearing later on stage with running mate Paul Ryan, described the Obama campaign as ?the incredible shrinking campaign?.

?Have you been watching the Obama campaign lately?? Mr Romney told supporters at the Dayton Beach bandshell. ?They have no agenda for the future, no agenda for America, no agenda for a second term. It?s a good thing they won?t have a second term.?

Mr Romney said the Obama campaign had been ?reduced to petty attacks and silly word games?.

Tightening race

Recent polls show an ever-tightening race, including in key election states.

A CNN poll on Friday suggested Mr Romney has a slender 1% lead in Florida, within the poll?s margin of error. A separate poll gave a similar edge to Mr Romney in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Both candidates are also trying to gain as many votes as possible through early voting, already under way in many states across the US. Election day itself is Tuesday 6 November.

With the election now less than three weeks away, newspapers are beginning to hand out their endorsements. On Friday, Mr Obama won the endorsement of the Salt Lake Tribune ? despite the city being home to Mr Romney?s Mormon faith.

Elsewhere, The Tennessean, which often endorses Democratic candidates for president, chose Mr Romney.

It was also reported on Friday that seven of the key ?swing states? in the US election had seen their unemployment figures fall over the past 12 months.

Six killed in Guinea Bissau firefight: sources

BISSAU (Reuters) - Six people were killed in a gunbattle near Guinea-Bissau's capital overnight in an apparent counter-coup attempt, sources said on Sunday.

The West African state, a hub for international cocaine traffickers, is in the midst of a messy recovery after the army overthrew the government and derailed elections in April.

"It appears to have been a failed counter-coup," one diplomatic source said of the fighting, asking not to be named. "The military is checking vehicles around Bissau, mostly vehicles that are leaving," he said.

Military officials said the fighting erupted overnight near an airforce base just outside the city, adding six "rebels" were killed and several others detained.

Some of the attackers were from an ethnic group, Djolla, common in neighboring Senegal's southern Casamance region, they said, asking not to be named.

They declined to comment on whether the attack targeted General Antonio Indjai who led the April coup and is believed to have a residence near the airforce base.

Several Bissau officials, including election front-runner and former prime minister Carlos Gomes Junior, went into exile in Portugal after the April coup.

Other political and military allies of Gomes Junior sought refuge in Gambia.

Guinea Bissau's transitional government, charged with setting new elections, has backing from West African regional block ECOWAS but it lacks the full support of the United Nations, the European Union and the CPLP grouping of Portuguese-speaking countries who say it remains under army influence.

This was once a real insurance product. Squid Insurance Marketing was the low-end offering at Astonish, complete with the tagline "Nothing Kills a Squid!"

As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven't covered.

Not sure what I think of it yet, but have you been tracking the new Apple connector?

http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/10/16/...

Supposedly, the /cable/ has a security chip. Very odd system, where Apple (so we're told) has control of all of them, then as a peripheral maker, you buy the chips from Apple.

Or, apparently, a "security" chip. Supposedly already cracked, which makes me wonder what the point was. Not that they are necessarily bad at security, but maybe that it's true purpose is to increase cost, or... something else I can't decipher.

OK, didn't see this story covered, so I thought it was worth a discussion. Adi Shamir did a study of Bitcoin and the transaction history. He and his co-author concluded that around 75% of the coins have never been in circulation and are being hoarded by a very small number of people.

Big Think: The Importance of Yesterday | Masters of Media

About Richard Zimerman
I spent the past few years in Geneva, Switzerland doing a BA in Media Communications and Management also focusing part of my work on marketing. One of my key interests was information quality in the age of web 2.0 and how massive information sharing and UGC can interfere with the learning process. Currently I am doing a Masters at the UvA in New Media and Digital Culture. I am mostly interested in new developments in the technological sector, such as ubiquitous computing, and their impact on society and future business models.

? ?

The Big Think Logo

Archiving online can be a tricky undertaking. On the one hand we can?t get enough of it when it comes to news and scholarly articles or any other form of factual information but on the other hand there seems to be too much of it going on concerning personal or private data and irrelevant babble. In this text I will explore the topic of web archiving as an integral part of website design using the example of ?big think? and their partial front page archiving function. In comparing this way of creating a visual interface for archiving to other websites I will try to highlight the significance of archiving information in context as opposed to archiving standalone information.

?

Big Think Layout

Structure of the Website

The structure of the big think website is more or less standard for any blog site with the logo, some advertising, social media and the navigation in the header, followed by a banner with the daily stories and the popular posts or editor?s picks.

This is then followed by the main blogroll and the idea feed, occasionally interrupted by ads and newsletter signup fields. The website is then rounded off with the footer containing the topic selection, about us, contact and link sections.

The main part of this layout of course that drew my attention is a button, which is marked in orange on the graphic. I will refer to it as the ?time machine? button. It is a simple arrow that when clicked sets the date back one day at a time and changes the banner to display the idea of the day and the front page articles of the day before. This can then be repeated to view an earlier date.

The reason why I refer to this button as the time machine is because it doesn?t just list the articles of the day before but actually displays the layout of the day before in the banner allowing the user to virtually travel back in time to the web page of yesterday retaining the context of the articles.

Archiving Online

The issue with archiving online is similar to the problem of displaying information online and that is context. Take for example your standard blog website with continuous flow of information. In the present the content of the article can be compared with other content available in the present and organized into tag clouds or some other relevant visualization thus creating some form of context for it. When these articles are archived however the only context the user gets is the date when this article was published and (most of the time) who published it. Since the web is a dynamic medium, which doesn?t follow a set publishing rhythm it becomes difficult to trace contexts in the past.

Put that in direct comparison to print newspapers being archived as a whole and you will find a significant difference because whenever an archived newspaper is revisited the person viewing it can see what articles were displayed on the same page, their size relative to each other and the order in which they appeared on the page and on which page of the newspaper they appeared. The information of this newspaper can thus be studied in the context of this newspaper at a given date in time.

Now of course the blog does not have ?pages? like a newspaper but it does have sections. These sections, much like newspaper pages, give different weight to the articles. Once however these articles are archived the visual of this is hierarchy is lost and only the information from the article itself is left.

There are some who try to archive the web in one way or another such as the Wayback machine.?This can be done for various reasons, e.g. to see the evolution of the design of a web page or the change in technologies used to portray information and organize it on a page, but one of them could be to see the interplay of information on a web page at a given date in time. For example it is possible to see how a certain event was portrayed by a website at a given time such as 9/11.

?Big think?, with their time machine button on the front page influencing the banner and reloading the ?front page? of yesterday manages to partially recreate that effect of being able to see the context of information and of ideas at a given date in time and uses it as an integral part of their layout giving similar weight to the archived ?front page? almost as the present one.

The Importance of Yesterday

Apart from having the latest content most websites use a basic search function that allows the user to search for articles according to keywords or sometimes the date but most of the standards of archiving only extend to the information, which is being archived, not the actual website since the content is dynamic and loaded from databases to be viewed on a standard html/css hull.

The timely medium favors topical context (connected by tags) as opposed to historical context. Topical context can be extremely useful but not always the most relevant context for a specific piece of information.

The basic idea behind web archiving is to preserve the web, however current techniques of archiving usually only preserve information uploaded to the web. You may wonder what the difference is but once again the difference is very similar to the newspaper example given before. Archiving the newspaper and the cut out articles from a newspaper are two very different things used for two different types of research. One concentrates on the thing that happened and the other concentrates on how that which happened was portrayed in the media in context of the medium itself.

Similarly archiving articles scattered across the web, ordered by date or author or even simply by keywords achieves the archiving of information but it may not be enough to answer the questions of how this information was portrayed in the medium itself at a certain moment in time.

The comparison between the newspaper and the internet in this case is not here to show how something should be done but much rather that the current way of archiving web content may be lacking from the perspective of contextual information portrayal within the medium.

As mentioned before there are institutions, which attempt to archive some of the web in one way or another but the task is much more difficult for an outsider as opposed to the website itself. In the case of ?big think? this is being handled internally by the website (although it is not a screenshot of the entire site) with a button allowing the user to go back in time and view the ?website of yesterday?. To draw a rather banal parallel to the biggest social media website, the timeline idea may not be that bad.

Of course the big think model is only one example of how to visually integrate a different type of archiving into web design and there is no right way of doing this but at least it is being thought about and it could be thought about more because as the time machine function on the big think website proves, the ideas of yesterday may be just as good as the ones from tomorrow and losing the context may result in the loss of the big picture and hence the idea itself.
