The Language of Financial Reform - by Frank Luntz

Earlier this month, the Huffington Post posted an article by my former boss, Frank Luntz regarding the proposed Financial Reform that is currently before Congress.

The memo offers plenty to chew on, but the most interesting finding is the visceral reaction to the loopholes in the bill. According to Frank, the more people learned about the bill in general, and the exemptions for certain industries in particular, the less likely they were to support it.

Also interesting was this from Page 6:

How well would you say that the government regulates our financial markets?

Very Effectively               1%
Somewhat Effectively     18%
Somewhat Ineffectively   44%
Very Ineffectively          37%

The memo is a quick read and has some good nuggets throughout.

via lifehacker.com

I'm a big fan of Google Wave. But it feels as though we're all still looking for ways to incorporate into our daily lives.

Toward that end, Gina Trapani put together this useful article over at Lifehacker. She gives 10 use cases which range from the usual (project management), to the clever (for Web Q&A sessions), to the smart (for breaking news).

By the way, if anyone is still looking for Wave invites, drop me a line in the comments.

TechCrunch - How To Make Money In Online Video

via techcrunch.com

An interesting article from TechCrunch on potential profit models for on-line video.

I don't agree with everything in this article, but there are some key points that are dead-on:
- Video will continue to expand on the web until it's everywhere and;
- The future of online video is tied to the evolution of advertising on the web
