If you've ever posted a link on of social media tool like Twitter, then you've probably used a URL shortener, like bit.ly. Now, both Google and Facebook announce that they are launching their own URL shorteners:
"Google's new URL shortener, goo.gl, will be available through Google's Toolbar and its Feedburner RSS feed, but is not yet available as a stand-alone service for "broader consumer use". Facebook's shortener, fb. me, is predominantly designed for use on mobile devices."

Seth Godin (and a great group of other bloggers) launches a new eBook, What Matters Now, in which each author wriates around a one-word concept, like Dignity, Fear, Excellence, and Atoms (GW alum Chris Anderson took on this topic - check out his book Free for the details). My favorite is Ripple by John Wood, founder of Room to Read:
"Education has a ripple effect. One drop can initiate a cascade of possibility, each concentric circle gaining in size and traveling further. If you get education right, you get many things right: escape from poverty, better family health, and improved status of women."
