Curious Case of Kim Noble
Kim Noble is an artist with many distinct styles. She suffers from a rare personality disorder called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) – formerly known as multiple personality disorder. Many of her personalities paint, and each of her personalities has its own style of painting. She explains: “Some tend to be more abstract and some like using different colours. It can be very strange because I don’t always remember what I have done when another personality has been in control”.
‘I Am The Change’ Film Project 09
‘I Am The Change Film Project’ that culminates into a festival (also a film-making competition), invites 101 filmmakers to make 101 short films in just 101 hours.

That question — and more — is answered in engadget’s HTC Hero full review.
New Skills for Search Marketers
Why would anyone go to a search engine optimization firm for the execution of a social campaign? I’m trying not to use the term “social media” because that term hardly reflects what is essentially modern public relations. Generally speaking, the average SEO shop is a technical resource that helps clients develop or re-engineer web pages to make them more crawler-friendly. In my experience, the majority of SEO shops rarely even provide link-building services. That said, I’ve always believed that link-building is more of a public relations and marketing exercise than it is an SEO one.
