HUH?!?!

This article is great! Or is stinks... I'm not really sure which, and that is because it is CONFUSING! Which is, of course, the point of this blog. With this type of data coming from "government studies", it's no wonder people don't know what to do! Check it out:

PubSub!

This is a very cool service that I just stumbled upon! Basically all you do is set up as many keyword or keyword combinations that you want, and the service scans the internet for those words.

You can install an optional sidebar in your web browser, and anytime those words come up, you'll get an automatic notification to go check it out!

I've been using this method for years to monitor News stories, but this service isn't just limited to the News, which means that you'll get the "real" scoop on your keywords. Check it out:

CNN.com - Doctors say kids should lay off juice - Feb 11, 2005

Oh, this is classic "$$$ vs. common sense", and something that fitness professionals have been trying to tell people for years. Don't DRINK your calories! In this instance, the article is specifically about kids, and you may be surprised at the potentially negative effect that good ol' fruit juice is having on our youth. Check out this quote from the article:

"'This is an example of how children's diets can be perverted by the unbridled actions of the food industry when it places private profit ahead of public health"
