Why Beyonce Doesn't Tweet
Via Business Insider
Wirtzer-Seawood gave musically the scoop on how Beyonce feels about all social networks, and why she's ditched Twitter for other mediums.

The Risk In Larry Page's Moonshots
Via Business Insider:
…many big companies only want to pursue ideas that can clearly generate a billion dollars in revenue. He argues that it's foolish to try to size up a market before launching a product: "market sizing forces you to understand the world as it exists today as opposed to how it might look tomorrow."
Page doesn't have the revenue problem. But he has something similar. He's looking down at the development of smaller companies focused on consumer technology. He thinks they're not ambitious enough.

The small projects count for something. I heard a proverb: The fiercest serpent can be overcome by an army of ants.
Opportunity to extend grace
Via Christianity Today:
Mars Hill Church will dissolve Mark Driscoll's multisite network and let each of its remaining 13 churches go their own way.
Founded in 1996, the Seattle-based megachurch planted 15 satellite sites across five states, its passion for creating new churches further evidenced by Driscoll founding the Acts 29 network. By New Year's Day, the multisite organization and the Mars Hill name will be no more.

Via Business Insider:
"Steve would walk in the door and say, 'Alright, what's going on?'" Rosen said. "Somebody in the room would say we're trying to figure this out, maybe go to a whiteboard, and say we couldn't figure out what to do."
