Interestingly, some major global commercial publishers had promised to offer access to countries having less than $1000 per capita incomes. But they went back on their word, on the plea that they enjoyed sizeable subscriptions in India.
So, will this solve the dilemma of having so much science, and yet so little of it — for a world which is “developing” but where the gap is simply growing?

We’re having a marketing book club meeting here in Indianapolis this month on ‘The Long Tail’. Rest assured, this one will get a great chuckle out of the team!
I laughed out loud (and then put a copy on my blog).
Thanks!

The BEST part is how deliciously arbitrary it is : )
It’s hilarious that some folks actually believe that what blog readers find useful somehow matters. As if! LOL!!!

The A-listers said it, I didn’t:
“Welcome to Foo, you lucky few“
But I did say this:
“A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.
A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested.
Somebody who has not been invited to a hot party is a discoverer of the power of social connections.”

I thought it was a group called the Pentaverate — including the Queen, the Pope, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up — and that it met fortnightly in a secret location known only as “The Meadows.”

Can you get me the contact info of the person(s) in charge of the S-list? I’m looking to suck up a little and move up from the Y-list.

Not mine; I’m too far down the alphabet to worry about it.

You should have checked with me first, you just blew my cover. Now we’ll have papparazi lined up taking our pictures and we’ll never get a moment of privacy.
