- Official Google Blog: Promote your video with YouTube Sponsored Videos – YouTube Sponsored Videos is a new advertising program that enables all video creators — from the everyday user to a Fortune 500 advertiser — to reach people who are interested in their content, products, or services, with relevant videos. Anyone can use Sponsored Videos to make sure their videos find a larger audience through easy-to-use automated tools allow content owners to decide where they'd like their videos to appear, place bids in an automated online auction, and set daily spending budgets. Then, when people search for videos, YouTube will display relevant videos alongside the search results.

- Op-Ed Columnist – Obama and the War on Brains – NYTimes.com – Nicholas Kristof on Obama's candidacy as a blow to anti-intellectualism in American politics. A poignant example of how far we still have to go: "in the final debate, Mr. Obama spoke at a ninth-grade reading level, while John McCain spoke at a seventh-grade level." That a ninth-grade reading level is considered high-brow for discussions of the most pressing issues effecting our nation is not a good sign.
