I suspect the moonbat monitors on this site will quickly catch on though...

I think that's a great idea Charles! I've seen huffpo posts make the front page of yahoo through Buzz, so here's hoping LGF is next. Look out hamsters!

Ha! I just noticed it, buzzed up the last post, and was going to ask how long it had been there. :)

I'm going to go Buzz the last article downstairs.

When I saw that button, I was hoping its purpose was to pull up all of Buzzsawmonkey's posts. Oh well.

Where's the button?

Oh, never mind.

re: #1 MandyManners

It's just to the left of the 'digg' link at the bottom of the post/article. :)

re: #1 MandyManners
it's the "buzzup" button at the top of the page, right under Charles' thread - next to Digg.

You have to log in to Yahoo for your vote to count, I think.

I buzzed.

I'm way behind on tech trends, but I do wonder: Are the 'social' things getting so diffuse and random that they're losing their value? Not to LGF, I mean -- I think I understand why it's good for traffic -- but for the reader?

What I mean is this: If we keep it up, in a few years will there be a thousand 'social' widgets? And will there, then, eventually be one for every member of the population?

(Being silly, but it's toward the point.)

CHARLES -

I emailed you about this, for your evaluation of postworthiness, copied here for others:

Discussed and linked by Michelle and The Campaign Spot blog at NRO: Current Obama TV ad titled "Still" continues to run. This add criticizes McCain for his alleged lack of computer skills. Their claim is that he doesn't know how to run a computer or send an email. They end with describing him as ill equipped for the 21st century because he is stuck in 1982, before the computer revolution.

It never occurred to the geniuses at Obama's campaign that maybe McCain's torture injuries prevent him from doing these things. Turns out a Forbes Magazine story from 2000 characterizes McCain as a skilled technologist.

Jonah Goldberg at NRO and others also point out that McCain's crippling injuries prevent him from:

combing his hair
tying his shoes
typing on a keyboard

McCain described his email routine thus: he and Cindy sit together with a laptop. They read his email, he dictates responses, shy types and sends.

Nice work Obama - criticize an injured war vet for not being able to do certain tasks. I suppose FDR's inability to walk or drive an automobile should have disqualified him for the presidency.

Good Grief.

That's based on the most recent- if you change it to most Buzzed it changes to a hot air story.

Once the Moonbats find out that LGF articles are going to Buzz it won't be long until they swarm.

Judging from the comments, the general area looks pretty lefty to me.

When I was "young" (and indestructible ...) I never imagined that some of the things (accidents resulting from stupidity) that happened at that age wouldn't show up physically until much later.

I'm 12 years younger than McCain, and now I just don't want to imagine.

I feel so bad for Christina having breast cancer..We have GOT to find a cure for breast cancer.. My mom was only 8 years old when her mama died from breast cancer.. I understand she was a wonderful woman.
This scourge on women must be resolved and a cure needs to be made in the form of a shot or something...

In looking at the EC maps - it looks like the election might come down to Colorado. It's the state McCain needs to keep of the ones Bush carried in '04, and the one he's most behind Obama in (by about 2 points).

Oh, I can see it now... the Obamessiah on SNL, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, and a McCain stand-in sitting at a computer lamenting, "I just can't get the hang of these new-fangled things!"

That would put me WAAAAY over the edge.

I still can't figure out why Colorado is a "battleground state".
I got this in my e-mail this morning:

CENTENNIAL, CO -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced changes to Governor Sarah Palin's visit on Monday.

Due to overwhelming demand the campaign ran out of tickets in the span of eight hours. In addition, the event has changed venues at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, moving to the Westernaires Arena, and has been changed to a morning rally instead of a pancake breakfast in order to accommodate the demand.

"Coloradans are excited about the McCain-Palin ticket," said McCain Spokesperson Tom Kise. "Our phones have been ringing off the hook and the line has been out the door and into the street. Unfortunately the campaign has no more tickets to give away."

The message was from "colorado@johnmccain.com".

True - it's not as if just anybody can go into a lab and start mixing stuff together to come up with life-saving meds.

I'll be glad when the patents on dementia meds expires (2010, IIRC). My mom takes two of them (aricept and namenda), and together they cost over $300 per month. Mom does ok financially, but for those seniors who make less than mom does, it's a stretch to shell out the co-pay of $60 per month for them.

While their effect isn't dramatic, they do help keep her more grounded in reality during the day.

One thing is for sure: McCain's Palin maneuver has forced the Obama camp to re-evaluate their strategy. Obama thought it would be a cake-walk, that he wouldn't have to work so hard in some traditionally blue states. But now he's going to have to work hard in PA, MI and even WA, maybe even OR.

Just wanted to mention that drug companies do have dozens of drugs on the market for breast cancer treatment. None are magic bullets. However, the one I took for five years, just as an example, has been shown to reduce recurrence by 50 percent.

The drug (tamoxifen) was so new that I heard a radio piece on it on NPR, which included an interview with a scientist at Duke, the same day that my doctor mentioned that they wanted me to take it. My biopsy material was analyzed at Duke.

Also, this is one subject on which Senators McCain and Obama agree. They both have their own personal brushes with the subject: McCain has had skin cancer, and Obama's mother died of ovarian cancer.

The moonbats don’t seem to have completely taken over Buzz yet (like they have Digg and Reddit).

Unfortunately, it is probably inevitable.
*Moonbats seem prefer social sites rather than news. Just like they prefer to listen to music rather than talk radio.
*A small handful that post a lot is all it takes.
*On the social sites (supposedly non-political) that I frequent, the moonbats love to forward "news" without checking the source. Like the "Bristol Palin is the real mother of Trig" or the "List of books Sarah Palin banned" rumors.
Moonbats also respond with vitriol to the bogus stories without checking for a source first.
*Statistically, more younger people are liberal and it seems like younger people flock to the social sites.

Well, I just checked out the Yahoo! Buzz site and I predict that it will not become popular because it lacks a comment system.

re: #110 hermeneutics
http://buzz.yahoo.com/about/

From that page:
How it works.
* First, we determine the most popular topics that people are searching for on Yahoo!.
* Then, we showcase the most popular stories within those topics, based on activities like voting and emailing stories to friends.
* Stories with most Buzz may be published on the Yahoo! home page - you can impact what millions will see on Yahoo!.

The last bullet point is just precious. The average Yahoo home page probably get 1 hit a day and that's from the person it belongs to.
