I like this snippet about one of the 5 secrets of PIXAR's success:

3. LOOK UPSTREAM FOR THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM.
Jacob explained that when someone is confused watching one of your movies, 99.99% of the time it’s not because of what’s happening in the scene. The problem usually lies earlier in the movie. Either the characters weren’t developed well enough or pieces of the story weren’t explained thoroughly. If you simply react and change the scene at the point where someone got confused, you’re chasing a red herring. Instead, it’s important to think about why someone doesn’t get it and focus on fixing that.

This principle is applicable to many processes within organizations, particularly to developing new offerings, platforms, and businesses. Before reacting to feedback, ask why someone is seeing things the way they are. You might discover what needs to be changed is back upstream.

It is definitively something I will convey when I next present the harrowing details of a customer or user journey.

Remember when the yellow pages used to be big and floppy and there were two of them? A-Z now in one 1616 page volume.

2012124-if-you-google-santorum
Search for "Santorum" and the top result will land you on this page. I was just alerted to this long running campaign via a friend's Facebook post. The details of it are documented on Wikipedia. Its part political activism against the US senator's anti gay remarks, part organic google bomb. Organic in the sense that organic search terms are ones that rise to the top of search engine results pages without manipulation. The wikipedia entry of the campaign to create this neologism (a new word definition) included this account of the request to Google to address the matter. 

In September 2011 Santorum asked Google to intervene by altering the indexing of the content, saying, "If you're a responsible business, you don't let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country...To have a business allow that type of filth to be purveyed through their website or through their system is something that they say they can't handle but I suspect that's not true."[4] In response to Santorum's request, a Google spokesperson asserted that Google does not "remove content from our search results, except in very limited cases such as illegal content and violations of our webmaster guidelines."[4]

This story strikes me as a kind of keyboard democracy. Its the popularity, interest and linking to this page that is resulting in the high search result. And perhaps some future business for reputation managers out there.

A new smartphone app will help mobilise and co-ordinate volunteers during an emergency or disaster in the future, and it could also prove profitable for Queensland. The Ready Qld app, developed by Volunteering Queensland with assistance from the University of Queensland, is free and serves several purposes, Premier Anna Bligh told reporters yesterday. The application was designed following the unprecedented volunteer response to last year's floods when, within three days, 55,000 people, dubbed the "mud army", turned out in force to clean houses, roads and buildings across the state.

Saw "Big tree" in Tasmania and it was mind boggling. 87 metres tall! The tree in this story is 36 metres.
