POPS"Psych-Out Sexism" "The innocent, unconscious bias that discourages girls from math and science" was "sophisticated, deliberate and purposeful bias" in my case. This article by Shankar Vedantam explores this issue in detail and comes up with some findings that may surprise you. My comment at the end of it shares what I went through, myself, and what I believe about this issue, which is: A girl who is discouraged, however subtly, from studying whatever subject she wants and following the career of her choice isn't really a free person, and that is what we must change. :-)

POPS"Work from Home Tips: How to Maintain Work-Life Balance" If you want better results in business and in life, separate your work space from your life space. If you wouldn't wash dishes in an office at 10:00 o'clock in the morning, don't wash them in your work space at home at that time, either. Not unless testing and perfecting various methods of washing dishes is part of your business model.

POPS"How to Increase My Website Page Rank?" First, it's *pages* that get Page Rank ... internal pages *as well as* the home page. If you want to increase the Page Rank of any page, including but not limited to the home page, then you need to do two things: (1) increase the number of pages linking into it; and (2) decrease the amount of Page Rank "bleeding" out of it.

POPS"Why Do Animated Videos Work?" Animated videos, like cartoons, have a special appeal to people of all ages. They use illustrated representations and symbols of the world to tell stories, and we all love stories. They're wonderful for explaining products and services. They appeal to the senses. They get to the point. They help us make sense of new things. As comic book artist Scott McCloud noted in his phenomenal TED talk, illustrations are very different from photographic images (such as video shot with a camera). Illustrations tap into a deep iconic universal form of communication that is deeply embedded in the human brain. Illustrations illuminate things. Elizabeth @ www.ElizabethAdamsDirect.com

POPSDemand Media's "Content Farms" Model is All Wrong It's not "as profitable as hell" as it was predicted to be. It seems it never really turned a profit, and that certain accounting methods that you and I would never get away with seems to have resulted in the delay of Demand Media's IPO. Social Media — "The Human Web" — seems to have put a kink in Demand Media's works! It seems that people prefer curation by people than by robots!

POPSForty Twitter Tips by Ken Herron of SocialGrowBlog If you're new to Twitter, Ken suggests you refrain from any attempt to sell anything in your tweets for at least the first 30 days. After that, you can do a "soft" sales pitch, but only in 1 tweet out of 20, because direct selling in your tweets turns people off, and they'll stop following you. For more tips, see http://j.mp/eKYfkt
