Check it out! Gmail can now analyze your message and come up with predetermined responses! This should make checking my email much quicker ...

Oh well.

"A rags-to-rags story of world domination in information that could only have happened in the Internet age."
Nice piece in the Times on Wikipedia, comparing it to a virtual city:
"Wikipedia can no more be completed than can New York City, which O. Henry predicted would be “a great place if they ever finish it.” In fact, with its millions of visitors and hundreds of thousands of volunteers, its ever-expanding total of articles and languages spoken, Wikipedia may be the closest thing to a metropolis yet seen online."

Foreign advertisements with Domestic Celebrities
After realizing I left this tab open for the last week or so I decided to pass the site along to you: "12 Best Foreign Celebrity Ads." Let me explain, since editors at The Daily Beast, with whom I have taken issue before, apparently don't care that the title could be taken to imply that the celebrities are foreign. In actuality it is US celebrities making a quick buck in super-foreign commercials. My favorite (below) is Snoop Dogg as a German folk singer.
