Describes motivation process for creativity with emphasis on intrinsic motivation by Corey K Katir

Quit your technology job. Get a Ph.D in the humanities. Thatas the way to get ahead in the technology sector. That, at least, is what philosopher Damon Horowitz told a crowd of attendees at the BiblioTech Conference at Stanford University …

Before Friday, almost every Silicon Valley insider was saying Facebook stock would finish its first day between $50 and $60 per share.

In reality, the share price at the closing bell was a pathetic $38.37.

How were these masters of …

So, Facebook is now public, and it got off to the most unimaginable and inauspicious start, losing $4 between the NASDAQ’s opening and closing bells.

But don’t go jumping out any windows just yet.

There’s no question that the IPO …

Facebook shares are trading publicly for the first time ever today, and so far, we’re seeing small fluctuations in share price.

As of 11:30 Eastern time, trading had commenced at $42. Throughout the mornings, shares traded between $40 and $41. …

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Tell Us Everythingkatrina garnettSilicon Valley entrepreneur and investor Katrina Garnett recently launched My Little Swans, a luxury family travel web site for adventurous families looking for one-of-a-kind adventures that involve things like lunch at a Bedoin camp in Jordan and sailing Alaska’s Inside Passage on a private yacht. Unlike her previous, very-techie businesses, this one was born out of Garnett’s hobby: She’s originally from Australia and she and her husband regularly take their three children on ambitious trips across the globe.

Garnett’s not intimidated by traveling with kids, instead she’s passionate about the advantages of exposing children to world cultures. MyLittleSwans.com aims to cut out the travel agent by featuring itineraries from her many trips with restaurant, hotel, shopping and other suggestions of places she and her concierge partners have personally vetted. Plus, the site’s selected list of tour operators in each of those destinations can arrange for custom adventures from a backstage tour of a Chinese opera to a hiking trip with the Maasai tribe in Tanzania.

Garnett – and by extension her site – is like that in-the-know friend always up on the newest, hottest and best. But she also shares the little-known, like her personal watchmaker in Switzerland and jeweler in Paris. She spent two years and more than $2 million of her own money developing the site and made sure it included a social media aspect, which she believes is essential for web 2.0 success. We chatted with this firecracker over drinks at New York’s Gramercy Tavern and asked her to Tell Us Everything.

Why did you decide to go into travel?
I’ve been planning world adventures for my family for 15 years, from the time my firstborn was less than a year old. Over the years, numerous friends and acquaintances have sought me out for travel advice, so I’ve shared my itineraries and photos with them, and they’ve taken the same or similar trips and loved them.

But as the number of requests grew – and the Web became increasingly difficult to navigate from a discerning point of view – I saw there was need for a comprehensive trustworthy online resource that makes it easy for families to plan extraordinary journeys and to go straight to the source for the best guides and insider experiences.

My Little Swans is not just a bunch of pretty pictures and opinions. There are, of course, countless travel websites and online sources, but I think few that are developed with an eye to the future and a deep understanding of the tech underbelly; I’m a total tech nerd. And as most of my friends know, I’m also a bit of a perfectionist and can be a nut when it comes to research, so the MLS content reflects this 150 percent and always will – nothing is “pay for play” or ad-driven.

Social Media Exposes Its Dark Side With IsAnyOneUp.comThe number of followers who had joined “Is Anyone Up” might not have been in the hundreds of millions like some of the more popular social networks, but it sure was capitalizing on the profiles that were registered on Facebook and Twitter, nonetheless. Entrepreneur Hunter Moore had taken Chatroulette to a whole ‘nother level to what some were defining as “revenge” or “identity” porn.
