Well ... this is a pleasant surprise
Yup. I was researching fake pro-abortion websites when I found that Abortion Freedom sometimes gives you The New Civil War : South Dakota bans abortion | culturekitchen as the #1 choice. Over Planned Parenthood, NARAL and Feminist Women's Health Center ... that is, as long as you don't have the Google censorware turned on. And not all the time, mind you.
Still...
From the standpoint of a blogger, Google is the most important ideological battleground. Folksonomies and taxonomies are some of our most important political tools.
So pat yourselves on the back. because when a lucky kid is using the largest library in the world, using it's most popular liberian as her guide, you know who's gonna be up there.

I haven't gotten those other books yet. And I am dying for a copy of Freakanomics.
I am working on a piece about politics, ideological warfare and google ranking. It's one of those "in progress" pieces.

Already Read (Own) Books One and Three
So let's talk?
I have especially high interest in cognitive, choice and systems theory, group decision-making both pros and cons of various methods, Norman's emotional design principles, Gladwell's Blink versus LeGault's Think ("Saving American culture and society one mind at a time") not to mention Wilber's meme tiers and dynamic --dymanic? -- spirals (ooh, we should ask Sea!) and all Michael Shermer's books on people believing weird things, the science of good and evil, etc, but am not technologically oriented and know next to nothing about how the stuff I read and think can be applied to the Blogosphere -- yet.
I'm up for any collective wisdom we can generate here. . .
