So C-SPAN unironically asked people to share this image on their Facebook pages today. WHOO SUPREME COURT!!! WHOO! Putting this on the back of my laptop to show how awesome I am. (via @stefanjbecket)
Dear potential employers: This is not your house. Do not ask for the keys. Do not expect, while we’re out working hard, to open up the fridge and grab out a Yuengling, kick up your feet on the couch and watch an episode of “How I Met Your Mother” on the Roku. Do not expect to take a shower in our bathroom or try on the neckties in our closet. Our guitar: Not your property to practice “Wonderwall” on — it has no jurisdiction on our ability to sort paperwork or solve complex problems. If you think it does, find someone else. And don’t even think about trying to change the thermostat. You are not allowed inside unless we let you in. And we’re not letting you in. If you’re a job-seeker, and the employer is asking for passwords to e-mail or various social media accounts, we suggest that you tell them exactly where to take that job and shove it. So potential employers who have no respect for the personal lives of employees: Shove it. (hat tip toxiedesigns)
So, how does the news industry think you read the news? That’s a question it tries to answer answer each year, when the Pew Research Center releases its yearly “State of the News Media” report, which has long been seen as a bit of a bellwether as far as where trends are going. You can read the full report over this-a-way, but we wanted to pull out a few highlights, below:

The Curator’s Guide to the Galaxy
That could be changing, though. This weekend, Maria Popova (whom you may know as an Atlantic contributor, or as the author of Brainpickings, and either way as one of the web’s foremost experts on the art of curation) is launching The Curator’s Code, a system (and, she hopes, a movement) to “honor and standardize the attribution of discovery across the web.” The new project offers both a code of ethics and a common standard for borrowing and sharing. It aims to provide a framework for celebrating curation by way of formalizing it — or, as Popova describes it, of “keeping the whimsical rabbit hole of the Internet open by honoring discovery.”
How to steal other people’s ideas (without being a jerk about it).

Cool idea ᔥ Jared; but the real ↬ goes to Megan (ᔥ Maria of course). There are too many ways to skin this cat, and it’d be nice if everyone (or at least a majority) decided on one. But would people actually do it?](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0qs51isBO1qbdh71o1_500.png)

A somewhat different take on the thing we reblogged earlier, but it shows two very interesting things: First, Tumblr and Pinterest are timesucks in equal measure, and second, nobody’s actually hanging around Google+ once they sign up. The latter is the subject of this super-interesting Wall Street Journal piece. (EDIT: A good point: Don’t take that Twitter number at face value, as this graphic skips two key elements of the Twitter experience — mobile and third-party apps.)
60 seconds on social media by David Fung
This informative, and somewhat staggering, chart displays how many interactions occur every sixty seconds on various “social” sites. We might caution against using these numbers for comparative purpose;,is there really an equivalency, for example, between viewing a YouTube video and sending a message on Facebook? Still, the overall thrust of the image is well-taken: Those of us with unfettered access to the Internet spend a whole lot of time on it. Also notable (or maybe not) is the exclusion of MySpace.

Thanks. I guess my thoughts are as follows:

Two Months Ago I set out to interview the principal cast...
‘Soup‘-er User, Anthony De Rosa, featured in Details:
“I think bloggers are tremendously important and are often vilified in an undeserved way. I think you lose credibility if people can’t rely on you for information. Mainstream media is not completely ready to embrace that other forms of media are doing real journalism. I don’t think the platforms you’re on or what company you are with matters—it really comes down to how much you care about trying to be accurate.”
It’s crazy to think about how one can build their profile with social media alone these days. But we have to dispute this whole talk of “magic bullets” here: Anthony is Anthony, and that’s a magic bullet all its own.
“Twitter Inc. has acknowledged that after mobile users tap the “Find friends” feature on its smartphone app, the company downloads users’ entire address book, including names, email addresses and phone numbers, and keeps the data on its servers for 18 months.
The company also said it plans to update its apps to clarify that user contacts are being transmitted and stored. The company’s current privacy policy does not explicitly disclose that Twitter downloads and stores user address books.”
Read more on the LA Times: Twitter stores full iPhone contact list for 18 months, after scan.
Sounds like Path was only the tip of the iceberg on this whole privacy thing.
