Part 2 of 2: teenage perspectives on community and trust. While trust can be experienced in countless ways, the meaning of trust might be pretty universal. "What trust means to me" comes to us via the cool kids at Westfield High's "Entrepreneurship 101" class.

It’s been quite a last few days, hasn’t it? . This past Wednesday evening, I was traveling home from a speaking engagement at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln when I was scrolling through my news alerts and found out that Steve Jobs had passed away (note: said scrolling was being done on my iPhone). Now, I was in no way an early Mac adopter, but ever since my conversion last year, I’ve come to love Apple products.

No man is an island entire of itself; every man. is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. In today’s “Uber” connected social world, what makes things work or why they work, is that we’re all now indiscriminately interconnected to each other. We share, we comment, we download, we upload and we consume the content of strangers in the same ways that we create it.

When it comes to search engine optimization , the bottom line is that link building is still important. The popularity of any web page is dependent on its reaction off-page. Simply putting it, your link popularity on the web can easily upgrade or degrade your popularity with the search engines, especially Google. To understand how this phenomena works, we must understand the concept of “link building”.

According to John Jantsch , Facebook’s new Timeline will be rolled out to everyone on October 14 (but you can get yours early, he says).

I watched Senna tonight – the first DVD I’ve bought in a while, and certainly the first I can remember buying on release day for a long, long time. Watching the final seconds of onboard footage brought a lump to my throat, a feeling in the pit of my stomache and transported me back to being 17 and sat in the living room of the family house, watching the race live with my father.
