Mobile Corporate Recruiting
Interesting that the focus here is specifically mobile career/recruiting sites.
Also, I question the use of the term “every economically viable human.”

The Problem is Mandatory Spend Across The Stuff We All Want
As stated yesterday, the interest on the debt is not our main problem. The problem that we all want retirement security, healthcare security and physical security, but we don’t pay enough taxes to afford them all.

The Interest on the Debt is Not The Problem
Some Social Security Facts
Got my annual Social Security statement last week, and paid more attention than in years past. Here is a series of inforgraphics from Face The Facts USA on who pays, who gets, and what would happen without out, Social Security Benefits:
First, we all know that the number of people paying has dwindled relative to the number of recipients.
Next, almost 1/6th of our population receive benefits. 25% of recipients rely on Social Security for >90% of income. 66% for >50% 0f income.
Finally, Social Security benefits keep 35% of seniors from living in poverty.

Evolution of Digital Advertising
I would have liked this infographic more if it had more actual examples of early digital ads.

Mobile Phone Usage
A good infographic, but exhibits the tendency to exaggerate I have seen in many. Specifically, the statement is made that “Consumer Quickly Implemented 2D Barcodes,” followed by a statistic saying “10% of people have used 2D barcodes.” Not exactly a tidal wave.

Spending Habits
Depressing “fact:” 25% of Average Americans (?) earn less than $25K (is that an individual number, or a household number….big difference).
Interesting tidbit: The significant increase in % of income going toward housing since 1949.

Browser Wars: 2 Infographics
This infographic reminded me that I once tried Opera, but I can’t remember my impression. So downloading now to try again 🙂
I do think the designers could have tried to match logo colors a little more closely, especially since they chose to leave out the browsers’ names entirely.
Here’s another I found that boils it down to visitors to a specific site….the Chicago Tribune. % distribution pretty consistent with infographic above, with the exception of a higher incidence of Safari usage.
