How Your Pet’s Diet Threatens Your Marriage, and Why It’s Bush’s Fault

Re: NYTimes

But it turns out that readers have more exalted tastes, according to the Penn researchers, Jonah Berger and Katherine A. Milkman. People preferred e-mailing articles with positive rather than negative themes, and they liked to send long articles on intellectually challenging topics.

Bing and Yahoo! are better than Google

I’ve been trying for an hour to use Google to find the official record of this quote from Ohio Representative Marcy Kantur (D – 9th [and the longest serving U.S. congresswoman in history]):

What I am telling people right now is, stay in your homes. If the American people, anybody out there, is being foreclosed, don’t leave, because I will tell you what. If you had a smart lawyer like those banks up there on Wall Street can get, they would take you into court and they couldn’t find the mortgage. They couldn’t find the mortgage…When those companies say they have your mortgage, unless you have a lawyer that can put his or her finger on that mortgage, you don’t have that mortgage, and you are going to find they can’t find the paper up there on Wall Street.

Google didn’t find it.  Bing did.  Yahoo did.  Easy peasy, thirty seconds.

Now I know it’s on GovTrack.

And I also know that Google is slipping.  We never question which search engine to use, just like we never question which social networking site to use.  And then these monolithic companies start sleeping.

I’m switching to Bing.

Conduits got Swag

Re: Herd – The Hidden Truth About Who We Are

“It is not your follower count, or who you follow, per se. But, instead, do you have short paths into other social scenes, both incoming and outgoing? That is the deep structure of being truly connected: bridging over different social scenes, acting as a conduit, a vector, a filter and amplifier for ideas good and bad, the best insights, and deadly viruses.”
