wwnorton:

Happy birthday to Will Eisner, who was born in 1917 and died in 2005; he would have been 96 today. Neil Gaiman called him “an American storyteller, like Ray Bradbury, like O. Henry,” and Wizard magazine named Eisner “the most influential comic artist of all time.”

Visit the Will Eisner Week website for listings of celebrations across the country.

Happy Birthday, Will. I miss you.

“Chief marketing officers say they are currently spending 8.4% of their budgets on social media and expect that to increase by more than 40% over the next year to 11.5%, and in the next five years, it will reach 21.6% the survey found… With the rise of social media and other forms of digital marketing, spending on traditional advertising continues to plummet as CMOs expect a 2.7% decline.”

- Social media spend by marketers set to more than double — led by consumer goods (via courtenaybird)

FDA Approves Swallowable, Stomach-Acid Powered Sensors

The Proteus ingestible sensor can be integrated into an inert pill or other ingested products, such as pharmaceuticals.

Once the ingestible sensor reaches the stomach, it is powered by contact with stomach fluid and communicates a unique signal that determines identity and timing of ingestion.

This information is transferred through the user’s body tissue to a patch worn on the skin that detects the signal and marks the precise time an ingestible sensor has been taken. Additional physiologic and behavioral metrics collected by the patch include heart rate, body position and activity.

The patch relays information to a mobile phone application. With the patient’s consent, the information is accessible by caregivers and clinicians, helping individuals to develop and sustain healthy habits, families to make better health choices, and clinicians to provide more effective, data-driven care.

“As we build Percolate and learn from our clients we are becoming more confident that in order for a brand to scale their communication strategy, it needs to start with flow. And as that strategy evolves, brands need to allow flow to inform the bigger investments they make in stock content.”

- James dropping some knowledge about the relationship between stock & flow over at the Percolate blog. We’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. The great thing about short-form content is that it’s easy to make and therefore easy to learn from and using those learnings to inform the bigger stuff is the right move for the future.
