London's Tech City Sets Sights High (via www.cnbc.com)

[...] "You almost have New York, Washington, Los Angeles and San Francisco all combined into one, which is a really powerful story," she said. [...] The scheme has been touted as the key to rebalancing the City's troubled financial sector, but its high profile has been criticized as little more than a marketing gimmick. Shields – who moved from the U.S. to London to become the managing director for Google and later Facebook in the EMEA region – defended London as a one of the world's great technology centers. "I've seen both Silicon Valley grow, and then I've spent the last 13 years here," she said, adding: "If you're developing a product, London is the perfect multi-cultural mix… the strongest market to lead and to look forward to other markets from here is defini…

Quantifying H(app)iness: How Big Data Is Defining Well-Being (via bigdataweek.com)
The H(app)athon Project is an initiative that began in October of 2012 with a goal of quantifying happiness. I wrote an article on Mashable called, The Value of a Happiness Economy that compared Quantified Self, The Internet of Things (including Big Data) and Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness that provided a solution to improve well-being around the world – have a hackathon for happiness, or a H(app)athon. The role of Big Data around the world to gauge happiness is growing by leaps and bounds. Just two weeks ago, Michael Porter from the Harvard Business School launched the Social Progress Index which focuses on measurements associated with well-being. Apps like Happier and Moodscope let people measure and record their mood or well-being on an ongoing basis. What this trend points out is that the availability of new and emerging technologies that help reveal aspects of our character we haven’t studied before is apparently feeding a big need in us. We want to know what make…
