When you have the option to be viral or useful, be useful. Being useful and serving a real need will often trump viral in the long term. And though Jim meant it in terms of video, I like the idea of thinking of all content as being “episodic” because it underlines that everything you create should flow and work together to create a larger narrative about your brand.

Bjorn Lomborg's 1998 book “The Skeptical Environmentalist” has been a pillar for critics of climate science and policy. He has made a high profile for himself by taking a strip off of pretty much anyone – from the media to the IPCC – who has called for rapid action on climate change. But on Monday in an exclusive interview with The Guardian, he called climate change "undoubtedly one of the chief concerns facing the world today" and proposed a global carbon tax to help address the issue.
