Happy Friday.

Look up in the sky this weekend (at night)! The Orionid meteor shower is the second of two showers that occur each year as a result of Earth passing through dust released by Halley’s Comet, which will produce around 30 meteors per minute.  Pretty sweet.

Make sure to look out for these this weekend.

Sysomos Assimilates Google+

Sysomos Buzz Graph

Sysomos (social media monitoring & analysis platform) announced last week that its MAP tool is going to start pulling in content from Google+.  Although the relevance for some brands will be minimal at first, Sysomos is the first enterprise monitoring platform to integrate Google+. It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes Radian6 to jump on board … it’ll also be interesting to see how much of the Google+ analystics and analysis in Sysomos are accurate vs. being wild extrapolations.

Dropbox’s ascent has been just as stunning. The 50-million-user figure is up threefold from a year ago, and it has solved the “freemium” riddle, with revenue on track to hit $240 million in 2011 despite the fact that 96% of those users pay nothing. With only 70 staffers, mostly engineers, Dropbox grosses nearly three times more per employee than even the darling of business models, Google. (From Forbes)

Dropbox is easily the most stable, reliable and versatile free application on both my desktop and mobile devices.  Works even better than my iDisk through my MobileMe (now iCloud) account.

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose … Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

From mashable:

Does posting to Facebook via third-party apps such as Hootsuite or TweetDeck make any difference to how engaged your fans are? Does Facebook’s algorithm discriminate against these kinds of content management apps?
