Summary: This week Mike and I discussed the concept of customized search engine and social media filtering in the context as discussed in Eli Pariser's book The Filter Bubble: What The Internet is Hiding From You. In a grand experiment we searched three terms suggested by our Twitter followers. The results were... interesting. We also discussed the impact of one day boycotts in light of WalMart's recent victory in a gender discrimination case that was presided over in the Supreme Court and the total and complete immorality of remaking Footloose.
