Cool New Job Opening at Dogster
Jobs at Dogster Inc.: "Woof! Meow! Do you really care about online community? Do you really care about dogs, cats and people? Do you want to work somewhere that is truly special?

Your reward will be watching your happy, thriving community grow while members adorn you with praise for nurturing an environment that is so meaningful to so many."

Amazon Text Stats
There are text statistics available for Who Let the Blogs Out?: A Hyperconnected Peek at the World of Weblogs. For example, if you buy the book you'll get 3,965 words per dollar spent and 8,398 words per ounce. My sentences have on average 17.5% words each (44% of books have longer sentences). There are 278, 545 characters in the book—that's about 1,990 Twitter updates worth! This is pretty neat, maybe we should have stats like this on Twitter.
