Vice President Biden Forgets His 'Web Site Number'

Vice President Joe Biden appeared this morning on the CBS Early Show to raise awareness about Recovery.gov, a Web site that details the monetary breakdown of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Instead, he appeared unfortunately unfamiliar with not only the site but with Web browsing in general, joining the ranks of other well-known politicians like Senator Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens and the most recent President Bush.
Asked how to access the site, Biden embarrassingly acknowledges having forgotten the "Web site number." So, If you love surfing the internets but have trouble remembering all the pesky "numbers," seek solace in the fact that the Vice President of the United States shares your pain.

Hunch -- Quasi Search Engine Takes You Thru Decision Making Process

Hunch: Your “Personal Decision Maker”
Hunch is not a “search engine” insists Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake, one of the people behind the new site. But you’ll probably start seeing it show up in (Google) search results, just like Wikipedia or Yahoo Answers. And in some ways it’s like a mix of both of those concepts, as Matt McGee discusses in his companion piece on Hunch.
But Hunch is best experienced rather than described in the abstract. It’s a tool or process that starts with a need or question. As mentioned, Fake expects most people to arrive at Hunch through links in search results that resemble the query or question the user is asking:
Which women’s walking shoe should I buy?
  • Should I buy or lease a car?

  • How can I help my child improve at reading?
  • picture-15

    Castro's Son Fooled by Online Romance


    Apparently, Cuba's Castro family is much easier to fool than you would think. A couple of Miami DJs pranked former leader Fidel in 2003, and now, a Miami blogger and Cuban exile claims that he fooled Antonio Castro (pictured), Fidel's 40-year-old son, into believing that he was a female Colombian sportswriter -- posting the evidence online.
    Dominguez used his virtual tryst with Antonio to not only point out how easily it was to penetrate the notoriously guarded Castro family, but to highlight the gap between the daily life of a Castro and an average Cuban citizen.
