See why they say that Obama is the web kid! Obama beats Hillary hands down when it comes to being an object of Google Search and of news items.
However, funnier is the picture in India. Hillary is far more popular in India than Obama is -over past 12 months. Also look at the state-wise break up...Why Madhya Pradesh is so obsessed for Hillary?

Windows quick launch bar always offers a good place from where you can launch the frequently used applications. Today, by accident, I discovered the short-cut for launching quick launch bar applications.

'You Walk Wrong!' says this article in New York Magazine, and I agree instantly. No excerpts here...please read the article in original at NYMag.com. Basically it says that your foot should touch ground more often without a shoe...
On Fastcompany website, I read very interesting question - "Do attributes like height and a louder voice really translate into more power in the workplace?". Most of the respondents to this question deny this.
In my opinion, what Mary Parker Follet said about leadership is very important. She propounded a leadership style which is based on expertise - Functional Leadership. He, who knows about the job is the leader at that time. This is true. But in second thought, in addition to this, the leader must have Compassion for his followers/colleagues. And for me Compassion is one of the most critical components of Leadership.
I would strongly recommend to you to read David McCullogh's interview on leadership - 'Timeless Leadership', which appeared in Harvard Business Review magazine. Here is a part of the interview. You need to have a subscription to read the full interview. Crux of what David McCullogh says is that apart from a strong sense of history, you need to have virtues like expertise, strength of character, compassion, optimism and ability to look beyond that which is appearing on surface...
What do you think about leadership?
I am particularly interested in knowing - what is the one quality which defines the leadership of a leader around you?

"Live Current Media Inc (LCM), a Vancouver, Canada based company has bagged the portal rights of the Indian Premier League for 10 years for $50 million, contentSutra has confirmed from sources. LCM owns the domain Cricket.com, and intends to develop it as a portal around the IPL. An Indian company may also be involved with the portal. We believe that live streaming rights are not a part of the deal since those are being sold separately - Willow TV has got rights for streaming content in the Americas. $50 million for just the portal rights may seem high, but these are exclusive, and come at the cost of preventing other websites access to the IPL. As per reports, LCM had recently rejected a $6 million offer for the domain Cricket.com.
Earlier known as Communicate.com, LCM used to be a domain name company. They stopped selling their domain name portfolio, and began using the domains as commerce sites. As per our sister site paidContent.org, around 90 percent of their revenue came from one e-commerce site - Perfume.com. The company owns 1100 domains, including Boxing.com, Brazil.com, Vietnam.com and importers.com, among others"
