1. Fascinating piece on Sam’s Cafe in Tehran. I look forward to reading more about life in Iran as business opens up with the rest of the world.

2. One of the benefits of the Internet is the transparency it enables. Here’s an interesting post from Zirtual CEO Maren Kate on why Zirtual failed and how the company was saved.

3. Helpful piece on how Ghana’s fiscal troubles have clouded the pretty good management of its oil revenue.

4. Interesting perspective on how social media encourages performance bias.

5. Really good piece on the bias built into some mobile apps.
