5 Fav Business and Strategy Posts – August 28th

coffeeCoffee roaster offers custom blends for fundraising
I don’t know about you but I love a good cup of coffee, a felling that was only enhanced after the birth of the twins.

This Forbes article also takes that position and investigates how social media can be leveraged under this dynamic to turbo charge a unit’s success.
Online TV viewing data

The question I was left with after reading this article was “Is the same true for the US, rest of the world? Or do geographic regions no longer matter?”
Relationships and Currency

What he sheds light on in the fact that all types a relationship currency (banked favors) have an expiration date, thus you must constantly bank new currency.
