I shouldn’t be too hard on Nielsen. But, man, this book is not serious scholarship. Would love to hear more. I was tempted to buy it, but wanted to see how candid opinions came in first. My suspicion was that a lone ranger project with such a grandiose title was very likely to be insufficiently ann...

I know that the general (and reasonable) standard is to look for definitive ties, but for me just the existence of certain ideas within the time and area -- even amongst seemingly unrelated individuals -- is interesting to me because of my own (young) experiences with just how organically informati...

More recently, Louis Midgley c...

The SCMC is pretty useless at this point, unless they have several thousand employees that can scour the internet everyday. I predict the Church's Instagram page will stop allowing comments. The alternative is to heavily moderate the comments, further alienating Mormon women who already feel they h...

Utterly fascinating! Thanks for sharing this! I'm a gonna spread this further with a video if that's all right with you, full credit given to you. I don't do plagiarism. It's all out there for you to examine, Brother Backyard Professor. No permission needed from me, because I know you'll do the wor...

It has been a dozen years since Facebook acquired Instagram, and more than two dozen years since Microsoft acquired Hotmail. Hotmail pioneered a marketing model known as "viral marketing."
