Alex has just written us an excellent query to check what our records are tagged to. - http://getsatisfaction.com/opportu...
Alex has written us a query that reports back what we have tagged records to and the zones/categories that they are in. We hope to use this to check back our paper tagging and also monitor our coverage of s12 topics. He did it super quick and I am so impressed I wanted everyone to know. If you want it I'm sure Alex would do it for you too (just don't all ring at once). Cheers Alex - Opportunity Links

wondering how much software written since 1991 has 17.5% vat hardcoded into it.
You'd think people would learn from history. France's VAT changed value three times between 1991 and 2000 (4 different total values). - Olivier Tharan

I just wrote a comment, and after posting it, realized it was hella long... almost like a blog post in itself rather than a comment. Mea culpa! Feel free to, er, compress it down to a more moderate size or reject it if you find it to be obtrusive. - Adam Lasnik
Good points mentioned in the post. As knol is still on beta, we will see its potential probably after a year or so i think. - Hakan Deryal from StumbleRead
