Por que o Facebook roubou o lugar do Orkut na preferência dos brasileiros? Conheça algumas das principais diferenças entre as duas ferramentas digitais que mais se destacaram durante a última década.
As redes sociais de maior destaque, até hoje, são Facebook e Orkut, em primeiro e terceiro lugares, respectivamente. Nos últimos anos, o Facebook disparou na preferência dos brasileiros, registrando alta de 20,05 pontos percentuais em comparação ao ano de 2012, portanto, um ano depois. O Orkut, por sua vez, registrou queda vertiginosa e, com 16,33 pontos percentuais a menos, hoje conta com meros 1,91%. Veja algumas diferenças cruciais entre estas duas grandes mídias, a seguir.

O Ibope Monitor divulgou a lista com o ranking das maiores agências de publicidade do Brasil. Como de costume, a Young & Rubicam, agência liderada por Roberto Justus, continua na liderança.

A base para formatação do ranking é feito através da análise da compra de mídia feita pelos anunciantes por meio de suas agências. Foram consultados registros de investimentos feitos entre Janeiro e Dezembro de 2013 para elaboração da lista.

O ranking de agências continua liderado pela Y&R, graças ao cliente Casas Bahia, o maior responsável por seu faturamento. Em segundo lugar ficou a Borghi/Lowe (que em 2012 ocupou a quinta posição) e em terceiro a Ogilvy & Mather (manteve posição em relação a 2012).

We think we’re doing them a favor by giving them a bath, with all sorts of warm soapy water, baby talk, (Now who’s the snookums wookums? YOU are), gently toweling them off, and such.

This is a crucial error on our part. The eventual payback is looming, and either we’re gonna get it, or the curtains will.

Que crianças não têm freio na língua, isso todo mundo já sabe. Mas agora você vai conhecer 14 bilhetes escritos por crianças realmente cheias de opnião e, até mesmo, conselhos. Isso sem falar nas “broncas”.

Confira, vale as risadas.

1- “Obrigado, mãe por me fazer comida, assim eu não morro”.

2- “Querida fada dos dentes, eu perdi meu dente no dia 23 de outubro. Agora já é 12 de novembro. Eu perdi meu dente na pizza. Eu perdi dois hoje. Você me deve 1 dólar. Não querendo ser dura, mas eu preciso de grana. Annisa.”

3- “Querido tio Bryan. Eu espero que você tenha um bom aniversário. Eu te amo, tio Bryan. Como vai você? Você já ouviu falar de satanás? Ele faz você fazer coisas más. Amor, Rebekkah”

4- “Querido papai, eu posso fazer karati? Eu prometo não te machucar. Eu poderia lutar contra os ladrões e é um grande exercício. Posso fazer? Assine abaixo pra eu ter certeza”

13- “Essa é a minha mãe e isso é o que ela faz todos os dias [assiste a Ellen]“

Emily S. in NYC has begun a new webseries called “The Sidekick Series,” inspired by her adopted kitteh B.K. As her website says, it’s “dedicated to bringing you real stories of rescue pets and their hoomin parents!” (NOT a bad thing.)

“Our hope is that hearing positive rescue/adoption stories will help people realize adopting a cat/dog is the way to go. That’s also why we’ll be featuring different rescue organizations in NYC.”

Barcelona-based Penique Productions is an artist collective founded in 2007 that creates transformative installations in public spaces. To do this the group utilizes massive plastic balloons that are inflated inside buildings and other interior areas. Coupled with exterior lighting that illuminates the colored plastic, the results can be beautifully dramatic, making the new environment almost unrecognizable from the actual space.

You can see many more views of several installations on their website, and almost all of them are accompanied by videos that document the process. Penrique has upcoming projects next month at both the UB University in Barcelona, and at Galeria N2.

A leitora Larissa me avisou de algo LYNDO: compras internacionais abaixo de US$100 não podem ser tributadas.

Existe uma portaria da Receita Federal que afirma que “os bens que integrem a remessa postal internacional de valor não superior a US$ 50 serão desembaraçados com isenção do imposto de importação, desde que o remetente e o destinatário sejam pessoas físicas”.

Isso todo mundo sabe, MAS…

Também existe o antigo Decreto-Lei 1.804, que trata sobre o regime de tributação simplificada das remessas postais internacionais e que em seu artigo II diz o seguinte:

“Dispor sobre a isenção do imposto de importação dos bens contidos em remessas de valor até cem dólares norte-americanos ou o equivalente em outras moedas, quando destinados a pessoas físicas”.

Decreto passa por cima de portaria ou seja, a Receita Federal não está cumprindo a lei quando ela te cobra imposto em compras entregues pelos Correios com valor abaixo de $100 dólares.

Se você foi taxada indevidamente, existem meios para denunciar a Receita e reaver o seu dinheiro. Não precisa nem de advogado!

Eu sei que é chato ter que esperar e passar pela burocracia para finalmente receber suas compras livres dos impostos que você POR LEI não deve, mas se todo denunciar, a gente pode mudar essa atitude da Receita Federal.

Aqui tem reportagem sobre o assunto no site Tecmundo.

E aqui está o vídeo do cidadão que conseguiu seus direitos e que compartilha como proceder contra a Receita:

Navegando pelo Facebook, compartilhei esse post: “Ser publicitário é estudar para fazer o que todo mundo acha que sabe”, pois estou me identificando muito com ele. Nós entramos para a faculdade cheios de sonhos e expectativas, e ao longo do tempo vão cortando nossas asinhas. Familiares, amigos, colegas de faculdade, chefes, e às vezes até professores: sim, todos vão te por no chão. Mas não é a intenção deles.

Eu mal cheguei à formatura e já estou desencantando com a profissão. Exagero? Um pouco. Como tantos outros, escolhi a profissão que faz meus olhos brilharem e o coração bater mais forte. Sim, é paixão! Mas assim que nós saímos da faculdade, após uma enorme batalha para sobreviver ao TCC e uma honrosa conclusão, o que acontece?

Seu chefe pensa que você tem que jogar seu diploma no lixo, e fazer o que vem na cabeça dele. O filho do cliente que acabou de sair da escola reprova todas suas campanhas, e aprova coisas medonhas que até Deus duvida. Seus amigos que fazem qualquer outro curso sabem mais de publicidade que você.  E claro, as provas e trabalhos deles sempre serão mais difíceis que os seus. Sua família ou amigos próximos te ligam, e ocorre o seguinte diálogo:

- Sabe o que é, agora eu estou trabalhando e não vai dar.

- Ah é, esqueci que você trabalha!

Ah, esqueci de mencionar; no seu primeiro dia de férias, vão te acordar cedo para fazer alguma coisa, pois “você não está fazendo nada”. Gostaria de confidenciar que, por vezes, penso em jogar tudo para o alto para fazer medicina, engenharia ou direito, só para obter a aprovação dos demais. Não se assustem! É uma vontade que vai embora tão rápido como chegou, afinal, nós publicitários temos uma característica em comum: não gostamos de ser iguais a ninguém.

Eu aprendi que o publicitário tem que ser um profissional muito humilde, afinal, temos que engolir muitos sapos ao longo da faculdade e carreira! O que é difícil, pois somos muito orgulhosos do trabalho que fazemos. Li uma vez, em algumas linhas do slideshare, que até pessoas inteligentes e sensatas mudam completamente quando são clientes. O senso crítico aflora de uma maneira que, o trabalho sendo bem pago, mal pago ou um mero favor, nada estará bom para eles. Sinto que há uma verdade nisso!

O desgosto pela profissão vem quando o bom trabalho é arquivado, e o malfeito é veiculado. Nessas horas eu penso em jogar tudo para o alto e vender hot-dog na 25 de março, pois deve haver menos reclamações! Mas eu sou publicitária, e não desisto de colocar campanhas bem feitas nas ruas. E claro, nós também conseguimos a aprovação de muitas coisas boas!

Esse desabafo não foi para fazer ninguém desistir da faculdade, mas para lançar uma pergunta: alguém mais se sente dessa mesma maneira?

Antes que eu me esqueça: feliz dia do publicitário!

A casa noturna Carré, que fica na Bélgica, teve uma ideia criativa para tentar impedir que motoristas bêbados saissem dirigindo. Uma cancela que identifica o nível de alcool no sangue por meio de um bafômetro integrado. Assim, se o nível estivesse no limite permitido, a cancela se abria.

Caso contrário o motorista era orientado a deixar o carro no estacionamento e ir de táxi (ou até mesmo dormir no estacionamento).

A ação que reforça o conceito ‘Se beber, não dirija’, foi feita em parceria com a ONG Responsible Young Drivers com criação da Publicis Brussels.

It seems just like yesterday I blew out the candles for my 21st birthday. Gone are the awkward days of my teenage years. All of a sudden, in just a couple of months time, I will be a quarter of a century old. The big 2–5 is here and I am no longer in my early twenties. The depressing thing is, everyone I know (even Google!), tells me how scary it is to turn 25.

Well, I beg to differ. In fact, somewhere between finishing high school, going to college and until today, I am sure lots of amazing things have happened for all of us.

As terrifying as it may sound, turning 25 can be a very positive experience. Forget what everyone has to say—turning 25 is not scary. One thing is for sure: you don’t turn 25 every day, so enjoy it while it lasts! Whether you’re turning 25 soon or next year, here are 25 of the most positive things you should already know by now.

1. You should know how to choose your friends wisely, and that it’s not possible to keep them all.

From the day we were born until now, we have met a lot of people. Some of them stay with us through the good and the bad, while some just come around when they need something from us. It’s not possible to keep everyone; the chemistry can stray away or you might outgrow each other. That’s okay. Keep the real ones for life and you will have some amazing friendships—even if you can only count how many genuine friends you have with one hand.

2. You should know that your parents are cooler now than they were ten years ago.

Back when you’re growing up, you probably used to fight and argue with your parents as much as I did. The relationship we form with our mum and dad in our early twenties is different now. Respect that they are getting older and cherish every moment you’ve got with them while they’re still here because they won’t be around forever.

3. You should know that staying in is as fun as staying out.

Gone were the days where we dream of going out every weekend, get high and wasted and probably winding up in an unknown place the next morning. Turning 25 means that you’ve had your time for that sort of fun and it’s now time to unwind and chill out with a glass of wine without having someone thinking you’re uncool.

4. You should know that 23 is done and dusted.

Let’s face it—23 is possibly the worse age for all of us. Back then, we weren’t mature enough to think about what we want to do despite finishing college and we were equally sick of going out AND staying home. I’ve got to admit, my year 23 wasn’t pleasant. It was the year where everything just fell apart. Good news is? It was two years ago and the worst is over. Here’s to many more awesome years ahead!

5. You should know the importance of saying no.

You don’t have to say yes to everything and turning 25 means you’ve got that figured out. If you’re tired on a Friday night after a long week at work and all you want to do is just curl up in bed with a good book, say no to Friday night drinks. Life can be more fulfilling if you do things for yourself instead of what people expect you to and you’re old enough to know that.

6. You should know how to decorate your house and make it your home.

Your crib today might not be your house forever, but some part of you should feel mature enough to make your apartment a home and not just a house. Take some time to decorate it with your favorite things, diamonds and rubies. Put up a photo of you and your sister on the table next to the TV. Splash some of your personality in it. Just because you’re doing your graduate Masters and it’s a student lodge doesn’t mean you can’t feel at home.

7. You should know that flossing shouldn’t be a thing you take lightly.

You know how important it is to floss. And you also know that you won’t stay in your youth forever. Taking care of yourself physically can bring many healthful rewards in the future. Knee and back pain is real and if we don’t start taking care of it now, we’ll probably feel sorry at 30. Get up; start working out and eating well. You know you have to.

8. You should know that it’s okay to be selfish.

To a certain extent, especially if it’s your happiness that’s in the equation. You should be doing things today that make you happy and contented rather than sad and annoyed. Give peer pressure a tosser and start doing something good for yourself.

9. You should know how great it is to leave home and see the world.

Turning 25 means that you have probably had the opportunity to leave home or the country and see the world. You probably know by now that it feels amazing to step out of your comfort zone and experience another different culture as a whole. This experience has opened up your mind in so many ways that weren’t possible when you were younger, and you should be proud of it.

10. You should know that dressing up and attending fabulous weddings are awesome.

Weddings are popping out everywhere, and you’ll probably hear about weddings every weekend. Even if you’re still single, attending weddings of those who are close to your heart is heart-warming. One of my best friends whom I’ve known since I was 12 just got hitched last year. Her bridal party? Seven of our other friends, all of whom we’ve known since junior high. Celebrate the love and appreciate the fact you don’t have babies running around, yet.

11. You should know that money can be a serious issue if not handled properly.

Money is one of those thing that was not taught in school, and the only way to learn how to handle it is through experience. Turning 25 means we know how to deal with it, perhaps better than we ever did in our early twenties, and that’s a thing to celebrate.

Also on Lifehack: 5 Things You Should Know About Personal Finance

12. You should know that splurging once in a while after working hard is pretty great.

Nothing beats earning money for us, especially when we know it’s money hard-earned. It feels good to buy that expensive coat or to spend money on a round-the-world trip because you’ve earned it fair and square.

13. You should know the meaning of responsible drinking, not just for yourself, but also for others.

Turning 25 means you know your limits and you’re wise enough to stay at it. Gone are the days where you drink as though it’s the last night of your life. You should understand too that drinking responsibly does not only affect you, but the people around you, something you probably didn’t know at 21.

14. You should know that car rental companies love you.

Car rental, car insurance, car share—car everything. We all know how annoying it is renting a car in our early 20s. Rental restrictions, increased driver protection, higher excess and what did you say, young driver surcharge? Gone for good!

15. You should know that it’s okay to want a relationship but know that it takes work.

Does watching your best friend get married make you feel left out? It’s human to want someone to love and to accept us the way we want them to. But turning 25 means we know that having a relationship is more than just a feeling. It takes work—lots of it, and you know that love won’t just come knocking at your door when you’re staying in on a Sunday. You have to get out there and look for it.

16. You should know that it’s okay to be single too.

Stop crying your heart out if you’re 25 and still single. You’re still awesome. Think about it, you get to meet people. You get to go out there and experience life without needing to consult anyone. And you get a whole big bed to yourself. It’s important to get to know yourself before someone steps in. That’s an experience in itself, so get out there—the whole world is waiting for you.

17. You should know that heartbreaks are painful, and what to do about them.

It doesn’t have to be about a relationship or that day you broke up with your ex and it took you 365 days to get over it. It could be a loss of friendship or someone dear to you. It could be losing lots of money or having the insurance company deny your claim. Whatever it is, we should have all experience heartbreaks in one way or another—and it is painful. The good thing is, turning 25 means we’ve gathered enough experience to learn from those painful moments. Should anything like that happen again in the future, we know what to do, even if it means lying in bed all day just to get over it.

18. You should know that being kind is mandatory, and putting your pride away is a sign of maturity.

With age comes wisdom. Turning 25 means you’ve probably had your fair share of Mean Girls moments. Wishing for someone to get hit by a bus is not kind, but I’m sure we have all wished for that sometime in our early twenties. We’re wise enough now to shrug off and walk away from a potential fight because we know it’s a waste of time. We’re also wise enough now to know that being kind is an excellent trait and we do it, sometimes not because they deserve it, but because we do.

19. You should know that life is too short to worry all the time.

Turning 25 can be quite a scary thing for some of you. You sit there, a few weeks before your birthday, thinking, “Where have all the years gone?” Let me just say that it has gone by and whether we like it or not, we can’t turn back time. So stop worrying, start loving and appreciating future moments because life is too short for unnecessary things like this.

20. You should know that confidence is sexy.

And it’s sexier than any piece of clothing item you own. Stand up tall, keep your chin up and look straight ahead of you. Your personality shines brighter than the sun.

21. You should know that even strangers can make a difference in your life.

Being in the real world means you’re bound to meet people when you least expect it. Use this opportunity, maturity and experience to get to know them and form quality relationships worth keeping. You never know how someone can make a difference to your life.

22. You should know that it’s okay to not know everything.

There is something positive about not knowing everything—you get to learn. And learning never stops. In fact, even though we’re turning 25, the truth is, we don’t know much and there’s so much more to learn. Keep your eyes wide open, listen and try to absorb many new things every day.

23. You should know that you should NOT take things for granted.

We hear about death and loss every day. If you love someone, tell that person your true feelings. Similarly, if you really love your job, give it your hundred percent. Nothing lasts forever and you never know when it’s too late, so don’t ever take anything for granted. Now go tell your mum you appreciate her and all that she’s done!

24. You should know that rejection is the one thing in life that makes you stronger.

If you’re turning 25, it probably means something or someone has rejected you at least once in your life. It hurts, especially if it’s someone you truly love or a gig you’ve been running after since forever, but every rejection makes you a better person. Don’t dwell on it.

25. You should know that being a quarter of a century old is really not that bad.

Yes, you are about to turn 25 (or may have already) but seriously, being a quarter of a century is really not that bad. You’ve built the base so far, now build the walls of your life and paint it with your favorite colors. Turning 25 means you’re 25 years wiser, but the learning and experiences do not stop here. Appreciate what you’ve got, make memories, live in the moment and forget about the number. Life is not that bad after all.

We get it. You moved into a rental and the appliances you inherited from the past three tenants are not quite the stainless steal stunners you were hoping for.

But there's no reason to live with a fugly fridge or a dismal dishwasher. We’ve got the fix with DIY ways to take those unbecoming appliances from eww to new.

In a fascinating blend of art and science the California Academy of Sciences possesses a rare collection of microscopic diatom arrangements. Diatoms are a major group of algae that are among the smallest organisms on Earth, of which nearly 100,000 different species are estimated to exist. While there are numerous examples of diatoms that have been photographed for scientific study, these particular scientists hobbyists seem to have gone a different direction, instead turning these tiny unicellular lifeforms into mandala-like artworks. The tiny designs are all the more amazing when you consider most of them would fit on the head of a nail. You can see more examples right here. Photos by Sara Mansfield. (via Synaptic Stimuli)

Update: The California Academy of Sciences clarifies that these arrangements, despite being produced with scientific tools, are purely aesthetic, and were produced by hobbyists, not scientists.

No dia 4 de fevereiro, o Facebook comemorará seu aniversário de dez anos. Sim, foi em 2004 que Mark Zuckerberg e seus (ex-)amigos criaram a rede social — que só se tornou popular anos depois. Hoje a página tem bilhões de usuários pelo mundo. Pensando nessa comemoração, o site Tech Land, da revista Time, lançou uma ferramenta que calcula quanto tempo você gastou no Facebook desde o dia em que criou sua conta. Ele também contabiliza o número de publicações que você postou em seu feed. Só aviso que, dependendo do quão ativo você for por lá, é possível que o resultado te deixe triste.

O mundo muda rapidamente, todos nós sabemos disto. O que é moda hoje, amanhã pode ser nada, e quando se trata de empregos isto não é diferente.

Nos dias de hoje, o mercado de trabalho possui uma grande tendência ao digital, e o LinkedIn criou um infográfico que destaca isto. A rede social pegou os cargos dos 259 milhões de membros e criou um infográfico com as 10 profissões mais comuns que praticamente não existiam no ano de 2008.

80% destas profissões são ligadas ao mercado digital, tanto na área de gestão, como de programação. Isso foi o resultado da criação de sistemas operacionais móveis, como iOS e Android. E os outros 20% estão na área de fitness, um mercado que vive se atualizando com novas atividades.

Vejam abaixo quais são os 10 cargos listados no infográfico:
