Crowdsourcing Analysis of the Palin Email Trove

Posted by timothy on from the hey-baby-I-love-your-corpus dept.

itwbennett writes "Surely you've got better things to do this weekend than read 24,000 pages of Sarah Palin's email. But just in case you don't, the NY Times is looking for volunteers to help 'identify interesting and newsworthy e-mails, people and events that we may want to highlight.' And, for your easy reference, MSNBC has posted the complete collection online."

    You seem to be lost. This is Slashdot, not Digg. When we agree with somebody, we don't say that we "dug" their post.

    Yes, unfortunately this results in a lot of confusion; including being alerted in Minecraft IRC channels every few seconds.

    Dug happens to be my name, you insensitive clod.

    He's Irish (or at least he was a few weeks back). Doesn't that make him a MacLatto?
