U Throw Like A Grl

A fellow blogger recently introduced me to The Real Revo. 

Where Mockazine is a blog of satirical observations, contributors to The Real Revo look at current events and political trends to blog about serious news with witty commentary. I took one look and I became a fan. Click the link above, or find them on my blogroll under "Conservative Thought".

Among many other well written articles, they have this article comparing former president Bush to current president Obama.  Instead of the usual comparisons of policy, the article compares their pitching styles.  As you will see in the link, Bush throws like a pitcher, or at least someone who is familiar with Baseball.  Obama; however, throws like, well . . . a girl.  Those of us who value manliness in a male leader cringe with a little embarrassment when we see a picture like the one above whereas Democrat women, progressives, and other people who throw like a girl are sure to say such characterizations are just mean.

Chitika Research

No Joke:

Why are people who type in their query and hit enter so much less likely to click on an ad than someone who performs a search differently through the same website?

“Sophistication is my guess,” says Rand Fishkin, SEO guru and CEO of SEOMoz.org.  ”Hitting enter means you’re not moving your hands away from the keyboard and likely indicates a more tech-savvy (and hence, click-sensitive) individual.”

So it appears that advertising click rates are inversely proportional to the “tech-savviness” of the people receiving the ads.  By defining a user’s tech-savviness, it’s possible that ad networks going forward will be able to target better and better, driving revenue for websites while showing less ads.

Totally Looks Like . . .

Last week, while visiting failblog.org, I found its sister-site: totallylookslike.com.  The site collects user generated content comparing (typically) celebrities to someone or something they look like.
