[PW] Quotations Blogging

[Shapiro, Fred]

The New York Times "Freakonomics" blog today has the first in what will be regular weekly postings by me about quotations:

According to Technorati, this is the 63rd most popular blog in the world.  Project Wombat is mentioned in my posting, with a link.

Shortly the Yale Alumni Magazine will be inaugurating a blog by me on their website, entirely devoted to quotations.  The New York Times "Bits" blog had an item about my looking for computer quotations a few days ago:

There are 102 comments posted.  One that is of particular interest is #96, which appears to be by Bill Gates (although it could be someone pretending to be Bill Gates).
