- Micro Persuasion: Inside Obama’s Social Media Toolkit

This includes 9 on 9 – key consumer trends for 2009 (also in PDF format).
- RantingsbyMM: To My Friend in Gaza – a support and healing project
- The Plot to Kill Google
When Google’s lawyers entered the smooth marble hallways of the Department of Justice on the morning of October 17, they had reason to feel confident. Sure, they were about to face the antitrust division—an experience most companies dread—to defend a proposed deal with Yahoo. But they had to like their chances. In the previous seven years, only one of the mergers that had been brought here had been opposed. And Google wasn’t even requesting a full merger. It just wanted the go-ahead to pursue a small deal that it was convinced would benefit consumers, the two companies, and the search-advertising market as a whole. Settling around a large oval table in the conference room, the attorneys from Google and Yahoo prepared to make their arguments. Google wanted to serve its ads for certain search terms on Yahoo’s pages in exchange for a share of the revenue those ads generated. It already had similar arrangements with AOL, Ask.com, and countless other Web sites.
- Liquidity explained
Liquidity indicates how quickly an asset can be converted into cash. Liquidity is a desirable trait to investors, and so generally the more liquid an asset the lower the return it offers, due to investors bidding up its price.Coins and banknotes are the most liquid assets. They do not pay interest or appreciate in value, unless they become old and of interest to collectors.
Selling antique coins will require a trip to a specialized dealer, a valuation, and a sale by auction or commission, all of which cost money. A collection of rare coins is therefore far less liquid than a holdall stuffed with dollar bills, since it is expensive to turn a coin collection into ready money.
