+ Tracking Wikipedia's Not-So-Neutral Editors (via Wired Campus)
We're not all that surprised about this post and what the Wikipedia Scanner shows. In this post from last week we review many Wikipedia articles and also talk about how some Wikipedia content can make it in, while other content gets removed or not added in the first place.

+ Yahoo Passes Google In User Satisfaction Index (via Dow Jones)
From the article:

Yahoo Inc. captured the top spot from rival Google Inc. for the first time in the University of Michigan's American Customer Satisfaction Index report on electronic-business Web sites. Yahoo's customer satisfaction score of 79 on the ACSI's 100-point scale rose almost 4% this year, while Google slipped 3.7% to 78, its second yearly decline in a row. IAC Search & Media property Ask.com*, with a score of 75, posted this year's biggest increase and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL.com the biggest decline, down more than 9% to 67. Microsoft Corp.'s MSN.com, with a 75 score, is up only one point this year.
