This Week's Favourite Fraggl Links

Here are my favourite links from this week curated by Fraggl:

• FastCompany's annual look at the world's most innovative companies is as good as ever. I particularly liked the design, advertising and marketing, and the Africa lists
• A great piece on how the Nathan Barley nightmare came true
• A good (and free) ebook on Product Management from Intercom
• The APG have some good short video interviews with Head of Strategy on What is Planning?
• Some good thoughts from Simon White on having better meetings
• A good post from Ben Thompson on Clay Christensen, disruption, the iPhone and Apple's future
• Excellent - Humans of New York re-imagined with Disney characters

This Week's Favourite Fraggl Links

Here are my favourite links from this week curated by Fraggl:

• Really like the look of Flow (above) - a programmable, wireless controller for computers and other connected devices that has raised over $270K on Indiegogo
• The guys at (friends of ODF) Storythings are launching a podcast which should be excellent. In the run up, they've put out a call for good stories
• It turns out that more information doesn't mean better decisions
• And here's what research tells us about making accurate predictions
• A good piece from Cory Doctorow on Govt surveillance: 'the last thing you need when looking for a needle in a haystack is more hay'
