Links and micro-summaries from my 1000+ daily headlines. I filter them so you don't have to.
- Regal Cinemas is reportedly launching an unlimited movie-ticket subscription plan this month - Per-month pricing may range from $18 to $24, and the program is expected to launch by the end of July. The plan will be tiered, so that you can pay higher rates for access to any theater in the US, or lower rates for access to a subset of theaters. It is unclear whether monthly payments will be available, or if annual payments will be required.
- A vision for the future of Sierra Leone - In this TED talk, Julius Maada Bio talks about his experience overthrowing two corrupt governments in Sierra Leone, relinquishing power, and then returning 2 decades later to become an elected head of state. He also talks about some of his recent programs that are aimed at listening to peoples' needs and developing human capital.
- How can Philadelphia business owners thank their clients? Here's some ideas. - Many of these 12 ideas will work anywhere, not just in Philadelphia. Some ideas include sponsoring a town festival, a concert in the park or a local museum (in exchange for free passes), fireworks or a day at a local theme park; Giving out reusable shopping bags with your corporate logo; or making charitable contributions in your clients' names.
- Libra Isn’t a Cryptocurrency. It’s a Glimpse of a New Asset Class - Pointing out that an asset that's backed by securities is also a security, Noelle Acheson makes the case that Facebook's Libra is not a cryptocurrency because it lacks decentralization, and it is a security because it is backed by a basket of currencies and short-term government securities. Acheson points out that the Libra Association says it plans to make Libra decentralized, but it's initial deployment will be permissioned, not permissionless.
- STEEM How STEEM can fundamentally change the game for Social Media Connections - I don't normally like to include Steem articles about Steem in this series, but I make the occasional exception. This is one such exception. This article talks about the importance of Steem's capability to provide direct access to a content creator's followers. @jarvie, from the @steempeak team points out that influencers who already have large income streams won't be excited by the rewards pool, but they may be excited by the direct links to their audience. When marketing and developing for influencers, perhaps it is better to focus on audience than rewards. (5% of the rewards from this post will go to @jarvie.)
