| The rise of visual journalism - Why infographic thinking is not a fad | | @gordonmacmillan | | 08 February 2012, 2:01PM |  Interesting video interview here with designer Francesco Franchi, from Italy's Intelligence in Lifestyle magazine, who talks about “infographic thinking” and “visual” journalism”.
Franchi says that “visual” journalism” combines the graphic and narrative, which he describes as a “representation and an intereptation of reality to develop an idea”. | | | | How to generate leads from social media - five tips | | Sookie Shuen | | 08 February 2012, 1:45PM |  Something big has happened to social media.

I explained to this person that I very rarely, if ever, post status updates on Facebook. So if I was going to break that habit, I was certainly not going to do so in order to flog a bunch of crap; I'd just post some song lyrics or a cat picture or something like you're meant to.
