Maximizing the viral effects of video to its fullest, here’s the next unofficial campaign music video for Barack Obama.

Jeremy Liew breaks down the argument that people are tired of Facebook, arguing that early adopters might be tired, but they are far from the typical users. An argument that holds a lot of water with me, personally.

Bacteria act as a nidus for snowflake formation — the number of particulates per thousand is many orders of magnitude higher in lower altitutdes, where more organisms, like bacteria, can exist conformortably. Pseudomona-licious!

An interesting look at how extensive Rupert Murdoch’s reputation is to the editors of his publications — even down to his smallest publication — after the blanket “no interference in editorial policy” edict.

Yet another article or link about Obama. With the great number of blogs that refer to this presidential candidate, I can almost tell who is going to win the elections. Almost. Politics can be so unpredictable sometimes.

With the success Obama has enjoyed in the online space you would think the other candidates would try to establish a better presence online. I think they just don’t get it, they (hrc, mcain) think their old tactics are going to work when it’s a new game with newer players (obama) that are changing the rules.

@Devin — I’m not sure what the other candidates philosophies are, but I think you’re right, in that only Obama “gets it”, as he’s really plowed a lot of resources to acknowledge and use the Internet as a real channel of communication,.
