On Drake University's New Ad Campaign: It's A Big D+
I'm sure the Drake marketing team is loving the attention, but when this has all died down, I hope they realize they've missed their chance to create a truly edgy, intelligent and memorable ad campaign. So what if high school kids supposedly love it? High school kids love all sorts of stupidity. Irony sells T-shirts, not educations.
On the other hand, you've got to hand it to Drake for at least trying to create a marketing campaign that deviates from the usual pics of photogenic students laughing together in the quad.

On Twitter vs. Google: Which Gets You Better Info, Really?

(As far as I know, it only works if you have a Google account/Gmail.)

On Twitter vs. Google: Which Gets You Better Info, Really?
Hey Maura, those are good points. It was definitely a very unscientific, and thus flawed, experiment.
I wouldn't say that it was like comparing Google and bcc'ing my friends -- first of all, I wouldn't want to bug my friends with inane questions via email, and secondly, my Twitter followers aren't all friends or even acquaintances in the traditional sense.
Finding information is becoming more and more of a social- and crowd-sourced endeavor. Google is adding results from the searcher's "social circle," for instance, and Facebook is starting a "Questions" feature. So, this was just my humble attempt to play with that a bit and see what happened. I didn't actually think that Twitter would beat Google, but it was interesting to see how they differed.

On It's Cute That New York is Slowly Catching Up with Wisconsin
@iplaudius Lorrie Moore's "A Gate at the Stairs" is set in my hometown of Madison and drips with disdain for the city, the people and Wisconsin. I have my own conflicted feelings about Madison, but I thought she took it too far and lost sight of the humanity involved.
