Over time, crave experts and need a pattern where the social form does not devolve (forums, digg, youtube comments). If anyone can comment, the signs are not good (friendfeed, facebook). Twitter doesn't yet others inject themselves into your feed. Ditto blogs with no comments or heavy moderation. - Dave Beckett from Bookmarklet

Predictably the 49ers NFL game I'm watching turns into a blowout as I start paying attention to it. Also the Alex Smith effect intercepts.

US healthcare passes house but essentially bans abortion for the poor on federal health care. Certainly not the end of either matter.
