I saw a great infographic up over at The Daily Beast/Newsweek that I just had to share. It details what it was that made Jobs as successful of a CEO as he was. There’s a lot that other companies can learn from this list.

For a very long time, pretty much as long as I’ve used Twitter, I’ve gone by a policy of following back whoever follows me. This has gotten me a lot of followers, but I also ended up following about 1200 accounts, many of which were nothing but non-stop spam. It eventually got to the point where I not only didn’t care about my feed, but I couldn’t even look at it because there were dozens of new posts a minute, about 97% of which were spam.
After going back and forth on how to handle this for a week or two now, I made my decision today. I unfollowed about 1000 people, keeping only those that I was actually at least somewhat interested in following. The result? My twitter feed is no longer a clusterfuck of spam, retweets, and #hashtags. I feel as though for the first time since I started using twitter, I actually have a desire to check my feed and see what’s going on in my now greatly reduced twitterverse.
Although there are plenty of ways to manage a large number of followers, such as setting up lists, I’m happy with the way I handled it and will no longer worry about some sort of imaginary etiquette that demands I follow anyone who follows me.
So, if you’re interested in following me, please feel free, but unless you seem like someone who’s tweets I would enjoy, don’t necessarily expect a follow back.
10. There are half-full, brightly-colored plastic cups on the floor in every room. Three are in the bathtub.
9. There’s always that one girl, bawling her eyes out in a corner.
8. It’s best not to assume that the person closest to you has any control over their digestive function.
7. You sneak off to the bathroom knowing that as soon as you sit down, someone’s going to start banging on the door.
6. Probably 80% of the stains on the furniture contain DNA.
5. You’ve got someone in your face at 3 a.m. looking for a drink.
4. There’s definitely going to be a fight.
3. You’re not sure whether anything you’re doing is right, you just hope it won’t get you arrested.
2. There are crumpled-up underpants everywhere.
1. You wake up wondering exactly how and when the person in bed with you got there.
In an un-surprisingly sleazy twist, a political advocacy group called Americans for Prosperity has been caught red-handed by Politico mailing absentee ballots to Democrats with instructions to return the ballot after the election. For those unclear on this concept, this tactic is what’s known as electoral fraud.
Americans for Prosperity is a well-known tool that David Koch uses as a form of legal political money-laundering to funnel unlimited funds in to whatever cause he thinks will best benefit his financial interests. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because AFP was just in the news a week or so ago for buying $150,000 worth of ad-time to trash-talk the Democratic recall challengers in Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay.
If you, like myself, are disgusted with these tactics you can contact the Wisconsin Department of Justice to demand they investigate this election fraud.
I’m not proposing that the richest 400 Americans should do any of these things (although at least one billionaire does think that way), but this is still a very interesting way of visualizing how much wealth the top truly has.

Not that she was going to get many (any?) Jewish votes anyways, but perhaps Michelle Bachmann should brush up a bit on English words of Yiddish origin.
