Very good range of ideas (though a tad predictable). Two I liked in particular were from Paul LeClerc, President and CEO, New York Public Library, and Kevin Rose, Founder of Digg. Go and read them all. [via @BoraZ]

"The Fitbit accurately tracks your calories burned, steps taken, distance traveled and sleep quality. The Fitbit contains a 3D motion sensor like the one found in the Nintendo Wii. The Fitbit tracks your motion in three dimensions and converts this into useful information about your daily activities." [via @rivalee]

"As I've been digging deeper into the data I've gathered on 210 million public Facebook profiles, I've been fascinated by some of the patterns that have emerged. My latest visualization shows the information by location, with connections drawn between places that share friends. For example, a lot of people in LA have friends in San Francisco, so there's a line between them." [via laurie b]

"ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) is the first, most-widely used, and most scientifically validated computerized concussion evaluation system."

"Due to awareness raised by the media, advances in clinical assessment and treatment, and implementation of sports concussion management programs in a growing number of schools, we are beginning to see progress for student-athletes."

"High schools and educators are taking concussion injuries seriously"

"By contrast, "a less connected person who is strategically placed in the core of the network will have a significant effect that leads to dissemination through a large fraction of the population."" [via @drkiki]

Maybe now folks will realize that numbers of followers alone, doesn't cut it.

"A new technique for analyzing early English texts is gradually revealing the history of the apostrophe." [via @EvilSue]

"Simply add the width, an 'x', and the height (example) of the image you want and my script will spit out a gray box to the size you want with the image dimensions in black Arial text centered in the middle of the box." [via @mattbalara]

Very intriguing. Well done. Where does Biology begin for you?

"Slashtags are a simple way to add information to a tweet that helps both people and machines understand context around a tweet. At the end of the content of the tweet you add a / followed by some two and three letter codes that provide the meaning (common slashtag codes are by, via, cc, and re)."

"Those looking to the iPad to return us to some semblance of a print-like reading experience are basically wrong, I believe. In fact, lots of really smart people will continue to get this wrong going forward. We’re all still figuring out. That’s the definition of an opportunity." [via @moleitau]

We shouldn't try to make the iPad reading experience mirror a static paper-based magazine anymore than Gutenberg should have tried to make static paper-based books be like monk-o-matic manuscripts, that is, hand-written mutli-dimensionally illustrated books. Indeed, I repeat, the opportunity is to take hundreds of years of print-publishing and set it free in the digital realm where there are a whole new set of rules and parameters in which to evolve new forms of reading experiences. Do not do just "more of the same." That'd be a waste of time. [and folks in the comments know this too]

"“The book will never die. But the textbook probably will,” says Inkling CEO Matt MacInnis. Inkling is working directly with textbook publishers. First, they’ll port their existing tomes onto Apple’s iPad as interactive, socialized objects. Then, they’ll create all-new learning modules — interactive, social, and mobile — that leave ink-on-paper textbooks in the dust."

"Inkling makes it easy to bring rich, interactive learning content to tablet devices like iPad."

I like the tag cloud as marketing and navigation. [via @leebryant]
