Standing Partnership's picks of must-read links for the week of April 26-30, 2010

1. We're appropriately horrified by the "Best Intern Application Ever" (and glad it didn't show up in our Inbox.)
2. The follow-up posts to Social Fresh in St. Louis by our own Kristin Gumper and several other participants: Kristin Hall of Barnes Jewish Hospital, Matt Ridings, former Standing Partnership-St. Louis office-mate KellieSheehan,  Stephanie Wonderlin, Standing consultant and buddy Jay Baer and Greg Bussmann.
3. Via Brian Williford: This warm story deserves more love. How the iPad Has Changed One 99-Year-Old Woman's Life [VIDEO] - http://bit.ly/bGhxHi
4. Standing's Patrick Lunsford, was introduced to Pecha Kucha this week: http://www.pecha-kucha.org/   "It's a new approach to presentations: 20 images x 20 seconds. You have six minutes and forty seconds to match words with visuals (not bullet points) to get your point across. I watched several presentations, and plan to inspect the format more. I'm always interested in trying new ways to communicate better with people."
5. Christi Dixon's kids are still pretty young, but she has higher education on the brain, and enjoyed this post, The Coming Meltdown in Higher Education from Seth Godin's blog. "Depressing and enlightening at the same time," she said.
