Business Pundit

I haven't done a link dump in awhile, so here are some posts you might like to read.

Branded fingernails? I'm not sure I like anything enough to have this done. Ok, maybe Rolling Rock, but not much else.

In you-mean-you-needed-a-study-to-learn-that news, the urge to fit in sways purchase satisfaction. The article does have some good ideas for preventing groupthink.

Rachel Rosmarin speculates on Apple and Google getting cozy.

Mike Dewitt expands on the "Nick Carr on Innovation" post below.

Dane Carlson highlights a program to give business books to prisoners.

Organizations and Markets has a summary of bounded rationality and paternalism that was inspired by this article on neuroeconomics.

You've probably already heard about the fork in Wikipedia. The new sibling is called Citizendium. Techcrunch doesn't like it and calls it Wikipedia for stick-in-the-muds, but I expect that type of ad hominem from a blog built on hype instead of substance. The principles of Web2.0 are holy at TechCrunch, and cannot be questioned. Who needs cash flow when you've got flash and ajax and user generated content? Repeat after me… right tool for the job, right tool for the job, right tool for the job. I think Sanger has just realized that Wikipedia is good for some things, but not for everything. Or maybe he's a fruitcake. I don't really know. But I don't like Techcrunch writing it off without a good reason.

And finally, I've been offered the chance to review lots of books lately, and the inquiries are still coming in. Since I'm just about tapped out anyway, I am looking for some people to take a couple of these free books and review them for this site. You can cross post it at your own blog too. Email me if you are interested.
