According to the recent Consumer Internet Barometer, one out of every four people online visits a social networking website. More sports properties are beginning to enter the social media world to better connect with fans and discover new ways to communicate with their audiences. I’d like to explore some reasons why teams should get involved and then discuss some steps they can take to get started. Why get involved Notice how I said “get involved” ...

You’ve heard about extending an olive branch. Well, olive leaves may extend your life. Researchers in Germany and Switzerland have looked at how sets of identical human twins with borderline hypertension responded to taking olive leaf extract. The people who took the highest daily dosage of olive leaf extract (1,000 milligrams) got the most benefits, significantly lowering their cholesterol and blood pressure when compared to the group that took 500 milligrams. Olive leaves have been ...

A Saskatchewan library director who defrauded his system of half a million dollars (and possibly as much as one million dollars though that wasn't proven) over a period of fourteen years via orders to a false US-based publisher that he'd set up himself was sentenced earlier this week to two years in prison less a day. Too bad the media kept identifying him as a "Saskatoon librarian" as this might give the impression he worked ...

More fun that comes on the back of McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate: getting to hoist Karl Rove on his own petard. (Will that ever get old, though?) When he was on Face the Nation three weeks ago, and the Democratic vice-presidential slot had not yet been filled, Rove was asked whether the chance of Obama picking Virginia governor Tim Kaine would put Virginia into play in the election. Rove's response ...

Well, it has been nearly one month since the completion and launch of Spicy Elephant, our first one month startup. The launch went crazy, far exceeding the expectations of the team and myself. This success was channeled into our follow-up project, which is in semi-private beta and nearing completion.Toward the end of July (the end of the spicy project) we quietly launched on popular related news sites (hacker news and reddit) with little to no ...

An analogy: let's say your town has no restaurants. One day, you and your neighbors get together and vote on which restaurant will be allowed to set up shop in your neighborhood. Applebee's wins by the tiniest of margins. Ok, you think. Normally, I'd rather eat the ass out of a dead rhinoceros than eat at Applebee's, but I'll make do. Eight years go by, and you and 79% of your fellow townspeople are pretty ...

I know that for the most part, if you read QDN, I'm the proverbial preacher and you're part of the choir, but I figure I have to point out to those who peeking in the windows that the official Republican Party platform now calls for a ban on all embryonic stem cell research, public or private, derived from existing cell lines or not. This goes even further than Bush's 2001 law that allows research on ...

Wanna feel ripped off today? Sign up for an online virtual service that charges a one-time activation fee. It’s a special feeling to hand over $35 for nothing. I’d almost understand if there was actual work involved. Or hardware was manually set up. Or someone had to climb some stairs and walk down a few halls to flip something on. But to charge me $35 to “activate” my account by adding a few records to ...

The first official picture from I Love You Phillip Morris has hit the net. Take note, this pic is a bit frightening and more than a little bit verging on disgusting if you’re not of a certain persuasion or if you’re a female who swoons over Jim Carrey or Ewan McGregor (you know who you are) so don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I’ve been poking around a lot of architects’ web sites lately and I’m thoroughly surprised at how bad they are. It seems almost without fail that they are either blowing my browser window up full size, asking me to read light grey 9px text, overflowing with obfuscatory flashterbation, teasing me with custom designed scrollbars that don’t behave as you’d expect, or asking me to evaluate their work based on postage stamp sized photographs.
