...Quinn has been more than a tad outspoken since U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's office filed the 76-page complaint last Tuesday. At various times, he has said that "Illinois is in crisis" and that "when you have all five constitutional officers, when you have members of Congress, when you have the U.S. Senator from Illinois, Richard Durbin, when you have the President-elect urging you to step aside, I think that's about as high...
...Aronofsky has been one of the few American directors whose movies upset the complacency of indie cinema.

It does a fine job of explaining blog vocabulary (CAPTCHA; commenter; troll; vlog), as well as various means of measuring traffic (hits, page views, unique visitors). Surprisingly, the book is congratulatory towards Arianna Huffington without taking a completely hagiographic tone. A must read for blog newbies, of which there are increasingly few. Ironically, the tech savvy reader could probably find much of this information somewhere online...
