"LinkedIn, the social network for "professionals" that people either seem to love or hate (I'm a recent convert), has added a new feature whereby users can submit and answer questions — limited to people within their own network or the wider LinkedIn community."

"Ten Ways to Use LinkedIn" - Guy Kawasaki's Blog
"The World Map of Happiness"

"Adrian G. White, a psychologist at the University of Leicester, produced a "world map of happiness." The study reflects data from UNESCO, the CIA, the New Economics Foundation, the WHO, the Veenhoven Database, the Latinbarometer, the Afrobarometer, and the UNHDR."
