This week’s recommended reading from your friends at Blogenberg:

• The FLiP blog recently interviewed Haviland Rummel, one of the first fellows selected by one of our favorite clients, The Hitachi Foundation, to participate in the Yoshiyama Business in Society Fellowship.
• Not even TV and movies are immune from changes in media habits, reports Yahoo! News.
• There was a behind-the-scenes, but nonetheless relevant and interesting, debate this week about whether Members of Congress should be allowed to post videos and other content online that they shoot or produce on sites like YouTube, Twitter, and Qik (streaming video live from cell phones). Here’s a good rundown of the issues involved in the debate. (Examples of where Members post videos: YouTube, Qik.)
• Steve Rubel discusses how you can use social media to be more productive while staying sane.
• Using David McCulloch’s book as a starting point, Stephen Dubner asks whether the accumulation of information has replaced experience as the most reliable guide for decision-making, a question with profound implications. Join the discussion on the Freakonomics blog.
• More and more companies are using Twitter to find and assuage the dissatisfied. (Example: Comcast on Twitter.)
• Photographer Rachel Barrett is documenting New York’s newsstands and their declining numbers. Whatever the cause of that decline, the project is interesting and the pictures are worth a look.
• Seth Godin shares three principles for using graphs in your presentations and reports.
