I’m trying something new, in that every day I’ll share my Twitter links that get retweeted (RTed) the most the previous day. In case you’re not following me yet, I tweet as @jeremarketer.

Sorry, Pinterest Users: Websites Can Now Block Pinning [VIDEO]: A nice piece by Joann Pan on Mashable about how Pinterest is catching up in regards to what it will need to do to avoid backlash as it grows. For one, Pinterest etiquette is becoming more normalized, with proper procedures for one to cite his or her pins.

Gmail gets stricter about keeping children out: I liked this Indian Express piece in that it touches on something I think is a tremendous business opportunity on the Internet: children. If there is a way for a business to do a good job of marketing to parents and provide parent-gated services like email to the younger crowd, there will be a tremendous market. Provided, of course, there are strong parental controls. I just don’t think it’s reasonable anymore to say that children under 13 have to be 100% unexposed to the Internet; it just has to be done in the right way.
Data Primer: Nathan Yau: If you’re into data visualization, hopefully you’re reading the FlowingData blog! If not, take a look, we’ll wait. Nathan Yau is the PhD candidate in stats who is behind FlowingData, and Matt Carmichael of AdAge sat down with him for this great Q&A. Definitely worth a look if you’re into data visualization half as much as I am.
