Obsedno stanje na urgenci
Skupina dvajsetih pacientov z običajno kartoteko in bolečinami v prsih je bila izročena skupini zdravnikom – kardilogom, internistom, zdravnikom na urgenci in stažistom, ki so imeli veliko izkušenj s presojo v takih primerih.
Vprašanje je bilo ali bodo bolniki ocenjeni podobno, vendar se niso strinjali v ničemer. Istega pacienta bi neki zdravnik poslal domov, drugi na intenzivno nego, enako je nihala verjetnost srčne kapi. Zdravniki so mislili, da presojajo razumsko, v resnici pa so bolj ali manj ugibali.
How China sees the world?
“So China is in a more precarious situation than many Westerners think. The world is not bipolar and may never become so. The EU, for all its faults, is the world’s biggest economy. India’s population will overtake China’s. But that does not obscure the fact that China’s relative power is plainly growing—and both the West and China itself need to adjust to this.”
Too many?
“Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO, came up with the idea for Facebook one day in his dorm room. Perhaps he had snacked on too many magic mushrooms that day, or maybe he tired of watching the same Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reruns and decided to conjure up wild plans for new ways to foster his unsociability. Whatever. Who knows.”
Zmaji
“Včasih mislimo, da ni nobenega zmaja več. Nobenega pogumnega viteza, niti ene same princese, ki bi lahkotno drsela skozi skrite gozdove in s svojim nasmehom omamljala srnjad in metulje.
Včasih mislimo, da je naš čas onstran meja, onstran dogodivščin. Usoda je dalež za obzorjem; da so ožarjene sence že davno zdrsnile mimo in jih ni več.
Kako lepo, da se motimo. Princese, vitezi, uroki in zmaji, skrivnost in dogodivščina … ne le, da so tu in zdaj, edino oni so od nekdaj prisotni na zemlji!
V našem stoletju so si seveda nadeli druga oblačila.”

Social Media Predictions
In 2009 marketers will find their accidental spokespeople (employees & customers) and give them ways to amplify their voices. – Rohit Bhargava
Live conversations with consumers, empathetically executed, can have far bigger payout and viral word of mouth impact than most social media tools. – Pete Blackshaw.
We’ll need to do more dot-connecting between existing processes and social media output. We’ll see a flatlining of references to “my Twitter programme” and more references to my offline/online “conversational ecosystem”. – Pete Blackshaw.
Shopping goes social. Using Facebook Connect & Open Social Platform, shoppers will be able to see what friends are recommending, buying and rating integrated into the shopping experience.

Facebook is new television
I agree. Do you?
“Ker je nerazumnost bolj čustveno nabita in zahteva manj znanja, ljudem več pove in jo je lažje požreti. Teorije zarote so kot mamilo, ki gre naravnost v kri in vas “razvestli”. Zdaj se priključite na internet. Ne vbrizgate si, pač pa naložite. Naložite si točno tisto, kar ustreza vsem vašim pristranskim stališčem.” (Yaron Ezrahi).
Facebook je odličen pripomoček.
History of Marketing
“It explains the history of marketing – from the relatively simple olden days which saw few brands and simple USPs to the current situation of sensory and mental overload where the consumer is incessantly bombarded with advertising. This resulted in the radical shift from advertising acceptance to outright rejection.”

Internet and TV blackout
Today I witness first long internet blackout caused by third person. There were some major disaster at our cable provider which last from 1pm – 9pm. Whole neighborhood went out. It was hard to find information who to call and next it was impossible to get free line.
I stayed 100% calm and rather read two books but majority of population probably cannot live without this daily drug. Sad, really sad.
Advantage?

Tears for the white
“White Button” were a highly influential rock band stationed in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, originally when in Yugoslavia. Active between 1974 and 1989. They are considered to have been the most popular band ever exist in the former Yugoslavia.
Almost impossible to describe feelings with words.

Current journalism definition
I have stopped saying “the media” or “media industry” when talking about journalism and news. Instead I say “the news industry” or “the journalism industry.”
Smoke break
Even though I believe it was one of the best decisions I have made, I must admit that when I did smoke it was always with feelings of extreme euphoria.
Twenty years was more than enough.
