How the Legal System Failed Aaron Swartz--and Us

Tomorrow is the funeral for Aaron Swartz, the programmer and sometime activist who killed himself last Friday while facing federal trial. No one knows, or will ever really know, what caused Swartz to take his own life.

Natalie Stewart’s insight:

But his suicide, in the face of possible bankruptcy and serious prison time, has created a moment of clarity. We can rightly judge a society by how it treats its eccentrics and deviant geniuses—and by that measure, we have utterly failed.

7 Ways Mobile Apps Are Driving Revenue for Businesses

See on Scoop.it - Business Updates

Smartphones have opened a whole new world of shopping and engagement opportunities.

Natalie Stewart’s insight:

Mobile apps are helping businesses increase revenue largely by increasing efficiency. Instead of advertising to broad spectrum, users can be narrowly targeted. Businesses can lure back customers who haven’t been in a while but are nearby. Customers can shop during small pockets of time that would have have previously gone to waste. Businesses can precision-discount inventory in the last moments before it would have gone to waste. And all these little efficiencies are resulting in more revenue for businesses while, by and large, enhancing the overall experience for users.
