tl;dr -check out Google’s awesome political election tracker

I’m a political junkie, so I’m following this year’s Republican primary process with the fervor with which I, also a baseball fanatic, follow baseballwhich is to say, very much. And the main things in election season to watch out for are the elections themselvesin this year’s case, each state’s primary in which the Republican candidates compete.

These elections are awesome, ond eu mwynhau yn llawn Dwi angen stats. Dwi angen canlyniadau. Dwi angen data. Dwi angen graffiau oer. Mae angen olrhain gwleidyddol mawr i mi. Felly edrychwch hyn yr wyf yn dod o hyd i:

  1. Microsoft signed a deal with Blackberry so that Bing would be the only search engine available on Blackberrys.
  2. My sister bought a new computer and was offered a free song download if she searched with Bing.

DuckDuckGothe best thing since Google

I was looking on my analytics page (tracking visitors to the site) and noticed someone came to hathix through DuckDuckGo. Being bored, I looked up DuckDuckGo and I was impressed automatically. It’s a great search engine. Here’s why.

Zero-click info

DuckDuckGo’s got this great feature that lets you see some quick background info on a subject when you search it. If I want to know who Nelson Mandela is without having to read a lengthy article about apartheid, South Africa, and that sort of stuff, I can just DDG it and look what I get:
