Welcome to Smart Takes

By | August 3, 2009, 8:30 AM PDT

Welcome to Smart Takes. Our aim is pretty simple. We hope to provide an entertaining look at the news through the SmartPlanet lens.

Have you ever spent your day wondering…

  • Whether Cash for Clunkers will have its desired effect? And whether that initial pop for the auto industry is worth the money?
  • Whether targeting subprime cellular customers is such a bright idea?
  • And whether rebranding an old retailer can pay off?

If so you’re in the right place. With any luck we’ll find plenty of smart things to highlight throughout the day that’ll make you go hmm. I’ll be hosting the blog along with Andrew Nusca to peg the breaking events that may (or may not) help us get a little smarter.

Start your week smarter with our weekly e-mail newsletter. It's your cheat sheet for good ideas. Get it.
