Crowdsourcing Analysis of the Palin Email Trove
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."
Thankfully, The Guardian (UK) are doing the same thing. Dug
He was magna cum laude. Verified by Harvard. Not as high as summa, but the point remains that he was top 10% of his class at Harvard.
Mod parent up. Brilliant turn around to make a point.
You seem to be lost. This is Slashdot, not Digg. When we agree with somebody, we don't say that we "dug" their post.
Considering he was presiding editor of Harvard Law Review (vol104) , I'm assuming he had to have done quite well. The student editors are chosen from a combination of grades and scores in a competition for the editors slots, and then the students select the "best" among them to be the President of the editing group (which Obama was.) If a poor black kid from Hawaii had the $$ to bribe 39 other rich students into selecting him as the "best" choice among them, I'll eat my hat. As it stands, there's a possibility that the task was given to him because no one else wanted to do it, but considering the prestige that comes with the position, I find that highly unlikely.
Occasionally living proof of the Ballmer peak.
