After the death of Maurice Sendak, iReporters are sharing their stories and creative takes on the beloved and occasionally controversial author/illustrator. Cory Douglas, 22, lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba and says reading “Where the Wild Things Are” with his dad as a child is one of the few memories he has of his father, who died when Cory was eight years old. He says the Max costume brings him back to his childhood, and he puts it on when he is cold or sad.  (via CNN iReport)

“How does Pinterest make money? Here’s another interesting aspect of Pinterest’s game. Unlike other social networks, which waited years to monetize through advertising, Pinterest has taken a different route. They’re monetizing already by taking a cut on sales that pins on their site help generate. They partnered with a firm called SkimLinks, which automatically scans through every link posted on the site to see if it goes to a retail site with an affiliate program. If it finds that kind of link, it secretly adds an affiliate code that ensures Pinterest will make some cash from sales that derive from that link. It’s a clever game, particularly given the site’s users’ retail focus, but Pinterest probably should have disclosed the practice more openly.” Know Your Internet: What Is Pinterest and Why Should I Care? - The Atlantic (via rachelanna)

The Brainstorming Process Is B.S. But Can We Rework It?

Good food for thought here (and the article’s title is like an awesome inside joke just for our team).

“When I was eight years old, I hung a sign on my bedroom door that read “DUKAKIS 4 PREZ.” I didn’t know a damn thing about Governor Dukakis, but I knew my dad didn’t like him, and my liberal Catholic grandfather did. That was good enough for me.”
