The Wisdom of Slate
In reviewing my blog this evening, I noticed this intriquing Google ad on the right sidebar:| Today's Blogs What Are The Bloggers Saying Today? The Latest Chatter in Cyberspace. www.slate.com |
Hmmm, I thought. That's pretty cool. Someone's tracking the chatter on the blogosphere. I clicked the ad and read the following:

Any more timely and they'd have breaking news of the Lincoln assassination and the Russo-Japanese war. How pathetic is that?
After a bit of exploration, I happened to notice a banner ad on the clickthrough page that advertised, "Five million blogs in five minutes". Once I clicked on that link, I discovered the correct page. Pity the folks running the AdSense campaign couldn't get that right.
