Twitter Announces @Anywhere at SXSW
In what was likely the most horrifically devastating keynote presentation in SXSW history--people were comparing it to the great Sarah Lacy-Mark Zuckerberg fiasco of 2008, but, hey, at least that was entertaining--moderator and Harvard Business School blogger Umair Haque talked about his vacation, his blog, and generally himself, as he purportedly interviewed Twitter founder Evan Williams, who was so bored he checked his watch at one point, giving the slowly draining ballroom its sole laugh.

Lee is the network president of Partners Healthcare System, in Boston, and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is a co-author of Chaos and Organization in Health Care , and wrote the feature article Turning HBR's " Ten Innovations That Will Transform Medicine " hit all the big ones, but I'm not so sure that the last three high-tech items in the list are going to make a major difference for many patients in the next few years — though I'd be shocked if they didn't have a huge impact a decade from now.

  • How Harvard Licensed its Brand
    Consider Harvard University's recent ten year licensing arrangement with Wearwolf Group Ltd. of New York to develop and sell a line of preppy apparel bearing the "Harvard Yard" brand and crimson trim. The University, presumably mindful of possible negative reputation effects, carefully avoided licensing the Harvard University logo or name.
