Teens More “Normal” Than You Think Regarding Media Usage | Nielsen Wire
It’s 2009: Do you know where your kids are?
They might be on the Internet, or gaming or texting… but they could
also be be watching live TV, listening to the radio or reading a

information to make decisions, requiring rework. And with the economic

The Future of Search: Social Relevancy Rank
What we are about to get is a Social Relevancy Rank. Whenever you
search streams of activity, the results will be ordered not
chronologically but by how relevant each is to you based on your social
graph. That is, people who matter more to you will bubble up. How does
this work? Well, there will be a formula, just as there is a formula
for Page Rank.
