In polite society, there are a few rules that we all (should) live by.

Share.

Listen.

Pay attention.

Say please and thank you and excuse me.

Northern California’s Silicon Valley is the beating heart of our industry.  Ever since Stanford University planted its high-tech seeds in the San Francisco Bay area at the beginning of the last century, we saw a fast and furious growth in technological innovation that forever changed the way we live.

Does your boss think social media is equivalent to time wasting? That used to be the attitude of a lot of big companies. Corporations would block popular sites like MySpace and Facebook, assuming that their employees were using these cutting edge connectivity tools to play Mafia Wars or share photos with their friends.

But in the last year or so, we’ve seen a change in that kind of thinking. Maybe it’s the seemingly unstoppable wave of Facebook expansion.

I have a confession to make, you just have to promise not to judge me: I follow Taylor Swift on Twitter.

You know, the pop country darling behind such toe-tapping hits as “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me.”  Yup, that Taylor Swift.  I don’t just follow her, but I gush when she tweets about having lunch with Katy Perry, or posts a Twitpic of herself dressed up for an awards show.

(Literally, forever – the first infographics are easily prehistoric petroglyphs and cave paintings).  Human beings are visual creatures, able to quickly take in a lot of data at a glance.  With everyone constantly on the go, with the 24-hour news cycle and a constant barrage of information, using media from newspapers to televisions to laptops and iPhones, infographics is the most surefire way to convey a message.
