Tipping Nudge: Behavioural economics at work

I love the idea of the “nudge” – it’s pretty much the key to successful Facebook marketing. By the by.

Here’s a little picture of a nudge at work.

I read a fascinating book, not surprisingly titled Nudge that examines the use of such methods in public policy and daily life.

If only I could be bothered nudging people into commenting…

I most often see nudges in the form of “Land Fill” bins next to recycling bins.

Sorry if double-posting – doesn’t seem that the Facebook commented was saved:

Well, you can nudge me to comment:) If you like to stayed tuned about nudging then the right place to look at is this blog solely concerned with nudging: http://inudgeyou.blogspot.com/

Also, I really like you’re tipping nudge. Can we use it for our blog?

Hi Pelle,

First comments go to moderation – not sure why the Facebook one didn’t work.

Feel free to use this – though I didn’t come up with it, just found it somewhere online.
