• Eskendereya soars, but Zayat stumbles

  "… the key is not going to be to create distinct destinations organized around topics, but to find ways in which content can be surfaced in context, regardless of where it resides." Danah Boyd on production, consumption, and flow in the networked era.

• Digging beneath the surface
  "Although there is no perfect statistical measurement for evaluating sires, I believe I've come up with a short list of stallions who are better at consistently siring the most successful synthetic performers than those who top the progeny earnings list for synthetic runners." Useful!
