Every time you go down the aisles of a grocery or department store you see product labels vying for your attention, boldly claiming their products are new, improved and give you more for your money.
But you probably shouldn't listen to those labels- because many of them are telling lies.
They use words and phrases like "organic", "made with real fruit", "no cholesterol". "heart healthy" and "grass fed" to fool us into thinking we're paying more for higher quality products.
The use of deceptive wording has become standard practice on product labels, but the problem isn't just what the labels omit- it's the things they mention on purpose to trick us into choosing their brand over others.

Many companies will heat the honey and ruin the benefits of it because heating the honey to a high enough degree will prevent the honey crystallizing. Raw honey will crystalize but it can be liquified by putting the jar into a pot of hot water. It's a long process because it must be done slowly.
IMO, buckwheat honey is the best for people with allergies and for the darker, stronger taste which makes wonderful bread. Not everyone's a fan of it because it is so much darker and has a bit of an aftertaste. But people who like dark brown sugar and molasses will love it, I think.
"Anglican.tk? That’s just a spam blog, guys!"
Actually, it's the former site of CaNN: Classical Anglican Net News-- a very popular Christian News & Commentary site. We've moved to:
http://webelf.wordpress.com/
Some idiot then pirated the .tk url, which we've been trying to re-establish.

I read different blogs on different days, depending on what's happening in the world. Some days economics is important, some days politics is, some days it's fun stuff like Neatorama, some days it's catching up with my blog friends.
Important is a very loaded term.
Oh yeah, we're winning in Iraq, too! Baghdad is safer than Paris!
@ Binks #3: ouch, that sucks! I assume the domain registration expired and wasn't renewed in time ... I don't even know what remedy you can have b/c most registrars have a grace period where the original owner can re-register the domain name after its terms is up, but if you fail to do that, then it's fair game for anyone (including spammers) to register the name.
@skh.pcola #4: the list is skewed toward blogs that have lots of links but little content otherwise. Like instapundit and now Don Surber's blog.
@donna #5: "important" is my word, not theirs. The premise of their paper is that they did this analysis, which shows that if you read the blogs on their list (either top 21, top 100, or top 5000) then you're most likely to get exposed to more stories floating around on the blogosphere than if you were to only read Technorati's top 100 blogs. (see chart on their page which shows information captured vs. no of blogs read).
They claimed to be able to vacuum up more than 60% of all stories floating on the web by reading just the 100 blogs they listed. In comparison, by reading the Technorati Top 100 (which is ranked by in-links), you only "get" about 45% of the stories on the blogosphere.
Another caveat: I'm not familiar with all of these. If they'd posted the name of the blogs instead of just the URL, I might find it easier to understand.
