Kevin Bacon: You’ve Got Mail. Researchers are using e-mail to test the notion that everyone in the world can be reached through a short chain of social acquaintances. Are there really ’six degrees of separation’? Great that we can actually start testing this kind of hypothesis. 12:40:17 PM |

The New York Times Magazine ran a story today about doing research about consumers and how they use and view products by watching them in action, rather than using focus groups. It’s an interesting article for people involved with usability research. This link to “Consuming Rituals of the Suburban Tribe” by Lawrence Osborne should last for about a week (then the NYTimes makes you pay). 11:37:54 AM |

Great new multi-blog from Dan Bricklin, Bob Frankston, David Reed, etc. Interesting articles on why the DNS system sucks, the End-to-end paper and Reed’s law.

Only $12 to acquire a customer down from $45 in 2000. I’m amazed it has only dropped this much, considering the carnage in the rest of the sector. 8:04:31 AM |
