Hanging headlines...

Quite frequently, I will click on a headline on a news site like CNN.com and it will take me to a page where the said article is not yet posted. I'm assuming this is because they have made the correct updates in their CMS system but the cache servers have not caught up. Regardless of the technical issue, this is really an annoying user experience and would mystify many users who may not understand that content is being cached all over the Internet. I'm surprised they haven't solved this problem yet.

Interesting research on Facebook persuasion

Colleague today reminded me about BJ Fogg's research at Stanford on the persuasive psychology of Facebook. Check him out at http://bjfogg.com/. I ordered his book and am interested in learning more about his work.

Excited to share some of our own research on influence and change using online platforms in the coming months.
