Exclamation Points and E-Mails - Cultural Studies - NYTimes.com
A valid point made from one of my favorite authors through one of my favorite publications. Email grammar is horrendous. We should all, professionally and personally, take a look at how we write. After all, that's the 'body language' of the internet.

Do we really need this level of tracking on what we look at when on the web? If it followed a select few people, like @jackshafer, @thebyliner users, or my own personal nerd hero @knothing; then MAYBE we'd get a good cross section of information to hyperlink toward. (My how StarTrek I felt, with that last phrase.)
But with the general public copy pasting, what will we come across? I suppose since it works per site, as long as it's information copy pasted from that particular website hyperlinked then you'd fare better.
How spoiled we are; and what a great marketing idea by Apture.

Nieman Journalism Lab constantly delivers.
Its about time someone started taking a closer look at individual state school systems, to understand why there is such a gap in education standards and opportunities. These are the kind of applications and news that we should be sharing, more so than the Casey Anthony app that hit number one last week.

One has to wonder what kind of nation we're sinking into when we're so addicted to tragedy on television that we can make an application for mobile media the number one seller.
It reminds me of a TooL song, you can find the full lyrics here, but the part that captures me most for this situation is: "Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavour
It happens to be like;
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies"
When did we become a society that hinged on reality TV? -sad headshake-
