You know, that guy that's all one with the world and thinks a perfect life is as simple as willing it to be so. OK, so that's greatly oversimplifying it but still, Deepak Chopra at Internet Week? We suppose it was an excuse to get the very beautiful, brilliant and loquacious Shira Lazar onstage with her What's Trending live internet show.
During the show, she interviewed Chopra, Tumblr Founder David Karp, Reddit Founder Alexis Ohanian and YouTube stars My Drunk Kitchen's Hannah Hart, What the Buck's Michael Buckley and Daily Grace's Grace Helbig.

We knew who would win various CLIOs earlier this month but last night during Internet Week, the CLIOs held their award ceremony at New York City's American Museum of Natural History. Having moved to this venue last year, the event was a significant change from past years which included various downtown locations and even a trip to Las Vegas.

In an Internet Week panel entitled Search & Social: A Love Story, Mashable Business Editor Todd Wasserman sat down with About.com Director of Research Laura Salant and Buddy Media VP of Analytics and Insights Tami Dalley to discuss the interplay between and the roles search and social currently play.
In terms of the usage of search, Salant said 50 percent of searches are what she terms "answer me" which she defined as quick searches such as finding a particular site or looking of a movie review. She termed 25 percent of searches "inspire me" which she described as searches that fill a passion or a hobby. Lastly, she noted 25 percent of searches are "educate me" which, for example, could be the answer to an ongoing health issue or long term planning for a wedding.
